Fraunhofer-Institut IEE, Kassel

Project description
The Fraunhofer Institute for Energy System Technology IEE in Kassel has been conducting research into energy supply based on renewable energies for over 30 years. The institute develops solutions to technical and economic challenges in order to further reduce the costs of renewable energies, secure supply and create new business models that will make the energy transition an economic success. RIDI supplied a lighting solution for the building with over 1,200 M24 profile luminaires in various lengths, which are used in several areas of the building. The system is available for various suppliers of louvre cover systems, such as Haufe, Nagelstutz + Eichler and Pagolux. The height of the luminaire profile fits exactly to the substructure of the various systems and is flush with the lower edge of the louvres. In addition to its high efficiency of up to 122 lm/W, which makes the system eligible for funding under current subsidy programmes, the M24 profile luminaire impresses with its high glare control of UGR<19 for computer workstations – despite its very slim design with a width of only 36 millimetres. The same light control system is also used in the recessed and surface-mounted versions of the M36 profile luminaires, which are used in the stairwells and corridors of the project. In the control room, the system is used as a direct/indirect beam pendant luminaire (S36M) – a filigree yet very dimensionally stable solution that also allows for multi-length suspended light bands.
