Examines how regulatory pressure and consumer demand for energy-efficiency have changed the lighting landscape, thereby creating particular challenges when lighting historic and other sensitive buildings. LED is a rapidly evolving light source capable of offering high quality light and energy-efficiency, but it is technically more complex to design and work with. This presentation therefore also discusses how lighting control systems are the best way to control LEDs, both from an end-user and professional installer’s perspective. Finally, case study examples illustrate how lighting design, high quality LED fittings, and lighting control systems combine to deliver stunning lighting schemes in historic, sensitive and listed properties.

Includes a discussion of the properties and benefits of DML (distributed mode loudspeakers), how invisible sound solutions can be created with zero visual impact, sound reproduction and how the listening experience is impacted by the presence (or otherwise) of different parts of the frequency spectrum, speaker requirements for different applications (including 3D sound), and options for fire barriers and voice evacuation, where required.
