Located within a high district brightness area of Central London, this was treated as an urban setting, with high levels of night-time activity. A local authority public housing tower block, with outdoor areas, of which the public would be able to access.
We were brought on board by Ecology Consultants and bat experts Ecology-by-Design to work with the construction firm Bennett Construction and their architects Hester Architects, to survey the existing site and provide a lighting report, which would comply and satisfy the ecological requirements.
Working alongside the existing lighting manufacturers and suppliers, we provided the client with lighting guidance and recommendations, that would be sensitive to the surrounding wildlife and migratory bats. This included an Isolux contour map showing light spillage down to 1LUX, a schedule of lighting equipment, and control guidance.
The new scheme would provide a safe, welcoming, and working environment for the premises for tenants and visitors.
