Role of lighting in sustainable, circular renovation of buildings

Thursday, June 4, 1:30 PM, Room 2
Speaker: Tom Ketels
Organization: ETAP Lighting

The European EPBD directive obliges member states to gradually improve the energy performance of buildings towards a nearly emission-free building stock by 2050. This also applies to technical systems such as lighting.

In renovations, lighting proves to be a quick and impactful lever: refurbishment Renews the light source and optics while retaining the housing and wiring. This gives fixtures a second life, significantly reduces material usage, and allows renovations to be completed quickly and with minimal disruption. The speaker will also explore how Light as a Service helps organizations to structurally reduce energy consumption and to embed lighting in a future-proof facility policy.

The focus is on feasible strategies and realistic steps that enable facility managers to integrate lighting into broader circular ambitions, without losing sight of the well-being of building users.
