Environmental and Sustainable Lighting Assessment Report
An Environmental and Sustainable Lighting Assessment Report synthesises findings related to both the environmental performance and the sustainable design of a lighting installation. This includes a detailed analysis of potential obtrusive light issues, ecological impacts on wildlife, the overall energy efficiency of the design, and its carbon footprint. Ultimately, the report aims to guide the development of lighting solutions that are not only effective and compliant but also environmentally considerate, resource-efficient, and supportive of sustainability goals such as achieving Net Zero.
01
Lighting Impact Assessments
We offer comprehensive Lighting Impact Assessment studies. These assessments proactively evaluate the potential environmental effects of proposed lighting schemes, with detailed analysis of light spill, glare, and sky glow. This is necessary to anticipate and resolve potential issues, satisfy regulatory obligations, and ensure that lighting installations are well-integrated and environmentally sound.
02
Obtrusive Lighting Assessments and Reports
Our services include comprehensive Obtrusive Lighting Assessments and Reports. We meticulously analyse lighting installations to quantify their potential for causing obtrusive effects such as light trespass, discomfort or disability glare, and excessive source intensity. Assessing compliance with critical industry standards, such as the ILP Guidance Note 01 (GN01) for the Reduction of Obtrusive Light, is a core part of this process. This detailed approach is essential for developing effective mitigation strategies, designing lighting that is considerate to its surroundings, preventing negative impacts on residents and sensitive environments, and is often vital for successful planning applications and demonstrating responsible design.
03
Energy & Carbon Assessment
Evaluating the energy consumption and associated carbon footprint of Our Energy and Carbon Assessments involve a thorough process of evaluating the energy consumption and associated carbon footprint of lighting designs. We then provide strategic advice on luminaire selection and control strategies specifically to help you align with Net Zero targets. This is crucial for minimizing environmental impact, reducing operational costs, and supporting your organization's sustainability commitments.
