Light for Architecture (the AAA story) explains ERCO’s approach to Human Centric Lighting. Human Centric Lighting brings together the work of lighting pioneers Richard Kelly, William Lam and George Brainard to develop the foundational elements of Architecture, Activity & Atmosphere (AAA). This chapter expands on light's ability to influence the visual, emotional and biological requirements of humans, creating environments in which they can perform and thrive. Human Centric Lighting is an attitude to planning rather than a technology, which explores a simple approach in delivering a more sustainable outcome.

Light for Circadian Rhythm puts people an their requirements at the centre of the design process, addressing the visual, biological and emotional effects of light. We will demonstrate the ERCO approach to the perception of Architecture, Atmosphere and Activity applying Circadian Rhythm-orientated architectural lighting techniques.
In addition, we will introduce tunable white luminaires in combination with Casambi controls for the support of Circadian Rhythms.

Vertical lighting contributes to the perception of brightness in a space and improves visual comfort. Lighting vertical surfaces in architectural spaces can significantly increase the visual impact of light across all applications. Wallwashing helps provide uniform lighting and aids orientation, accentuates the height and depth of architectural spaces, enhancing the texture of surfaces.
This Experience demonstrates different types of wallwashing and grazing vertical surfaces, and provides technical tips for selecting and arranging the right luminaires for your project.

A gallery lighting inventory should be planned, with a long-term vision created in order to accommodate the demands and complexities of an ever-changing exhibition programme. Phasing out old inefficient lighting in stages, and upgrading the lighting in stages or as funding allows, will ensure a seamless integration for the gallery over time, and work towards achieving the best lighting system possible for the gallery into the future.
Join this Webinar to run through 3 stages and considerations of upgrading your gallery lighting system to increase the functionality and durability long into the future.
