Ambient & Wall Washing
Lighting Scene Control: A variety of lighting scenes provide options to the USGBC staff to set the right mood in the lobby for different events. A bright lighting scene enlivens people for morning meetings, and dim lighting scenes create a more intimate setting for evening events. For general daily activities, the lights are dimmed to save energy while also providing a bright environment.
Kinetic Lighting Shows: For evening hospitality events, the touch of a button activates a calming kinetic rhythm of light and dim. Each luminaire is dimmed independently and two lighting shows can be activated from the scene control station. One show is a random pattern of lightening and dimming and the second show is a wave of light that travels across the lobby.
Occupancy Sensors: Occupancy sensors are only activated at night to ensure that the lobby remains a light and inviting space during business hours.
Lighting Scene Control
Eight lighting presets in the Lobby provide a variety of bright and dim lighting scenes, and two kinetic lighting shows.
