QLS - Qlab Lighting System

Lead Designers Tomasz Klimek

Entry Description

The "QLS - Qlab Lighting System" provides a perfect integration of daylight and artificial light in rooms. It allows the creation of a high-quality lighting environment and comfortable working conditions, based on the use of daylight. Daylight deficiency is supplemented by artificial lighting and can be adapted to individual user preferences.
The system consists of a light shelf that directs sunlight into the room, a roller blind underneath to protect against glare, automatically controlled luminaires, and a set of sensors with a controller that is responsible for continuously maintaining optimal lighting conditions, previously set by the user.
The QLS system represents an undeniable innovation in office interior lighting. It guarantees daylight illumination of interiors, and protection from excessive sunlight for users, and supplements deficiencies with artificial light to the minimum necessary extent. It makes it possible to enjoy the benefits of daylight - the most beneficial light source for humans.

As a result, QLS provides:
- a friendly, safe and comfortable living and working environment;
- improvement of well-being, concentration and work efficiency
- reducing the discomfort and health problems associated with exposure to artificial light
- reduced sickness absence
- significant savings of energy used for lighting purposes
- increased service life of luminaires

Sustainability Approach

The energy savings achieved for lighting are between 70-90% . This solution reduces the carbon footprint and increases the energy efficiency of the building. This is particularly valuable in the context of ESG reporting requirements and environmental certification for office buildings, like Well, Bream, Leed etc.
The system has been successfully implemented for use in several offices and companies. It is currently being applied to further developments. Employee surveys have confirmed the high level of work comfort achieved and the positive impact on employee wellbeing.
