What are lighting integrations?
Savings and Efficiency
Environmental Performance: Standards like LEED and BREEAM focus on improving the sustainability of your building. By striving for these standards, you enhance energy efficiency and implement more sustainable processes and technologies.
Cost Savings: Meeting these standards helps you achieve energy-efficient spaces, which translates into significant cost savings. With net zero targets and growing stakeholder pressures, building standards provide a reliable framework for financial and environmental benefit.
Wellbeing at the Forefront
Health and Wellbeing: Standards such as the WELL Building Standard prioritize the health and wellbeing of occupants. They assess indoor environmental quality from various angles including lighting, air quality, thermal comfort, ergonomics, water, sound, materials, and access to nature.
Performance Evaluation: Even without certification, these standards offer a valuable framework for evaluating and improving your building’s impact on its occupants, ensuring a focus on their overall comfort and health.
Futureproof Spaces
Smart Technologies: Achieving building standards often requires the integration of smart technologies. For lighting, this includes requirements for circadian design, daylight simulation, and occupant control, which are more feasible with intelligent control systems.
Adaptability: Smart building technologies are designed for long-term use, allowing you to upgrade or adapt your space as needed, ensuring it remains relevant and efficient throughout its lifespan.

Designed for Wellbeing
Intelligent lighting systems are crafted to significantly enhance health and wellbeing, helping you create spaces that truly prioritize human comfort.
Easy Setup
Lighting controls based on open standards like DALI or wireless systems such as ActiveAhead are quick to install and easy to commission, saving numerous labor hours.
Flexible Spaces
Easily adjust your system as needed—whether you’re adding new areas or removing them. Intelligent lighting controls adapt seamlessly to changes in your space.
Proven Energy Savings
Intelligent lighting controls can reduce energy costs by up to 85% compared to traditional schedule-based fluorescent systems.
Continuous Optimisation
Cloud-based services like Rockgate Insights offer remote access to valuable data, allowing you to continuously optimise and experiment with your lighting system based on real-time space usage.
Minimal Disruption
Utilize existing walls and infrastructure for your control system installation. Wireless controls reduce the need for extensive wiring, leading to faster installation and less material use.

The WELL Building Standard™ is a premier global rating system that evaluates how buildings and their elements can enhance comfort, health, and wellbeing—establishing a benchmark for superior building performance.
The WELL V2 Standard comprises 11 measurement concepts, divided into preconditions and optimisations. Each concept includes multiple features, each with its own components. Buildings earn points based on the number of optimisation features they implement, with certifications given to those meeting the criteria for Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum levels.

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a certification system developed by the U.S. Green Building Council. It evaluates buildings against specific benchmarks to promote sustainable design practices by adhering to a recognized standard.
The scoring criteria encompass various categories, including innovative design and technical solutions, energy use and emissions, materials, water consumption, and more. The standard aims to reduce a building’s carbon footprint while also lowering long-term costs through reduced energy use and improved space efficiency.

BREEAM (BRE Environmental Assessment Method) is the foremost environmental assessment system for projects, infrastructure, and buildings, known for its comprehensive standards. It provides certifications based on evaluating a space’s performance against established best practices.
Founded in 1990 by BRE (Building Research Establishment Limited) in the UK, BREEAM offers certifications from Acceptable to Outstanding. The evaluations cover various factors such as lighting, pollution, energy consumption, environmental impact, water management, and more.
Lighting-related categories include the management of artificial lighting, daylighting, external lighting, energy efficiency, and energy monitoring.
