“Sustainability in lighting design is not just a choice, but a necessity. Through innovative design solutions and technologies, we can create lighting systems that respect the environment and improve our quality of life,” says Mr. George Anagnostakis, Creative Director of IFI Lighting. Based on this principle, IFI Lighting follows a systematic lighting design process, seeking to deliver projects that are not only efficient but also sustainable following LEED and WELL standards. having gained extensive experience in projects with similar certifications.

The following are the basic principles for sustainable lighting, which are incorporated into IFI Lighting’s design process:

   Use of Energy Efficient sources: By replacing traditional incandescent lamps with LED lamps, we significantly reduce energy consumption and the energy footprint of the building.

   Intelligent Lighting Systems : The integration of motion and brightness sensors allows automatic adjustment of light intensity, saving energy.

   Natural Lighting : Systems to control the intensity of natural lighting and glare in combination with natural lighting design ensure maximum visual comfort and reduce the energy footprint of the building.

   Personalised control: It is important to provide the user with the ability to control the lighting intensity, ensuring maximum visual comfort and savings, accurately approaching the minimum energy and lighting needs even on an individual level.

   Reducing Light Pollution: By using directional lights and optical systems we can minimise light pollution, protecting the night sky and improving the quality of life especially in urban environments.

   Renewable Materials : By approaching the problem of sustainability holistically, we ensure that our choices make use of recyclable and environmentally friendly materials, reducing waste and pollution. Special care is taken for the packaging, transport and management of luminaires in order to reduce the energy footprint of a project throughout its lifetime.

IFI Lighting follows these principles in order to create sustainable lighting projects that not only meet modern needs, but also contribute to the protection of the environment.

IFI Lighting, the leading Greek lighting design company, is thrilled to announce its sponsorship of the enlightening lecture by acclaimed architect David Gianotten, CEO of OMA/AMO. The event, organized by the Hellenic Institute of Architecture, took place on Thursday, March 28, 2024, at 7:00 pm, at “The HUB Events” in Athens.

David Gianotten, recognized for his leadership at OMA/AMO and his groundbreaking architectural designs, captivated the audience with insights into his extensive portfolio of international projects. As CEO – Architect of OMA/AMO, Gianotten oversees the overall organizational and financial management, business strategy, and growth of the company, alongside his architectural endeavors.

Gianotten’s lecture, titled “Urban Charge,” delved into OMA’s projects worldwide, focusing on the urban transformations catalyzed by these architectural endeavors. Through projects ranging from high-end office buildings to mixed-use urban centers, Gianotten explored the notion of perceiving and harnessing the energy and vitality of a place to create positive impacts through architecture.

Attendees had the opportunity to engage with Gianotten during a wine reception following the lecture, fostering further discussions about the intersections of architecture, urbanism, and societal impact.

Notable projects led by Gianotten include the Museo Egizio in Turin, the conversion of the Bajes Kwartier prison complex into a new neighborhood in Amsterdam, the VDMA mixed-use urban center in Eindhoven, and the renovation of the Panopticon and court complex into the new Koepel district in Breda.

IFI Lighting is honored to have supported this enriching event, which contributes to the discourse on innovative architecture and urban development. The company remains committed to fostering collaborations that push the boundaries of architectural design and lighting solutions.

As a lighting designing business passionate about staying at the forefront of industry trends and innovations, attending the Light + Building Expo in Frankfurt was an exhilarating experience. This biennial event, renowned as the world’s leading trade fair for lighting and building services technology, showcased a diverse array of cutting-edge products, technologies, and design concepts that left us inspired and eager to integrate new ideas into our real-time work.

One of the standout trends we observed at the expo was the continued emphasis on sustainability and energy efficiency in lighting solutions. Manufacturers across the board showcased a plethora of LED fixtures and control systems designed to minimize energy consumption while maximizing lighting quality and flexibility. From advanced LED luminaires with tunable color temperatures to intelligent lighting controls that optimize energy usage based on occupancy and daylight levels, the expo reaffirmed the importance of prioritizing eco-friendly practices in lighting design.

In addition to sustainability, another key theme that emerged was the convergence of lighting and technology. The integration of smart lighting systems, Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, and artificial intelligence (AI) was prominently featured, offering exciting possibilities for enhancing user experience and functionality. We were particularly impressed by the innovative applications of IoT-enabled sensors and data analytics, which can provide valuable insights into occupancy patterns, user preferences, and environmental conditions, allowing for more personalized and responsive lighting solutions.

Furthermore, the expo showcased a wide range of architectural lighting fixtures and design concepts that pushed the boundaries of creativity and aesthetics. From minimalist, sleek designs to bold and expressive luminaires, there was something to cater to every architectural style and preference. Our creativity was stimulated and new ideas for effective lighting solutions that not only illuminate places but also improve their atmosphere and visual appeal were supplied by investigating these varied options.

Overall, our experience at the Light + Building Expo 2024 was incredibly enriching and invigorating.
