1. LIGHTING DESIGN

 

OUR ONLY TOOL IS LIGHT

Lighting has been responsible to dictate the patterns of life and architecture since the inception of mankind. At ECC International, we perceive vibrant opportunities in the spaces between darkness and light. Our innovative and specific lighting designs create inspiring architectural environments that encourage people and businesses to flourish. Our approach to light is an integral architectural material which form the color and texture of our surroundings.

A. Lighting Studies

 

Design phases consist of below stages:

Concept Design Phase

Every project concept carefully considers the experience we create for people alongside functionality, the practical considerations of costs, ease of Maintenance and the sustainability of design.

Design Development Phase

During this stage all the existing lighting documents are further refined and developed. Design development turns conceptual ideas into design details and suggestions for lighting equipment and material finishes.

Construction / Documentation Phase

This stage is responsible for the finalization of the complete lighting packages which consists of lighting layouts, specifications, BOQ’s, Load Schedules, control schedules, vendor lists and final budgets for the procurement of the lighting systems.

Site Coordination & Implementing Lighting Design

In this stage our team supports the construction team, including attendance on site, and quick responses to the coordination and installation issues. Through continuous evaluation and assisting commissioning, programming and focusing of the light fixtures we ensure timely and successful delivery of the lighting concept.

2. SUPPLY SOLUTIONS

In this age when virtually all kinds of lighting fixtures are available to everyone, our supply solutions can be trusted to deliver the correct lighting systems to the project while keeping in consideration the variables of challenging budgets at the same time. We believe in lighting as a passion to us and therefore try our level best to portray this passion on the canvas of your project.
ECC International prides itself on our after sales service, we don’t just supply we help with technical support during installation and handover. We don’t believe in delivering and walking away.

A. Supply of Light fixtures

As the lighting industry becomes more digitized, it has become much more complex. There are thousands of manufacturers available making budget and design decisions best left to lighting professionals. When considering the complexity of LED lighting and modern control systems, the task of evaluating systems can get beyond many contractors.
At ECC International we want to make the process of buying lighting easier while saving you money.

3. LIGHTING AUDITS

The first step to a successful lighting upgrade is the lighting survey or audit. The purpose of an audit is to assess the existing conditions and enable a comparison to be made with proposed upgrades. Lighting audit is an important step in understanding the current lighting energy costs which in turn can be utilized to plan and engineer an efficient lighting scenario.

In the first step, we gather and organize information about the existing lighting systems and their application. Our team of professionals collects following information:

• Total number and type of existing Light fixtures
• The existing average lux level of the working planes
• Calculate the net wattage considering control gear losses
• Existing lighting layout
• Number of operational Hours for each Light Fixture
• Average life of the existing Light Fixtures

In order to calculate the running cost of existing lighting system, following factors needs consideration:

• Energy cost for existing lighting system
• Cooling cost for existing premises
• Maintenance cost for each light fitting

By evaluating all the above information, our experienced engineers propose most efficient and appropriate lighting system for the project. By the passage of time, we have developed interactive calculation sheets, which can evaluate following factor by simply entering data from existing configuration:

• Graphical representation of accumulated savings generated by the new configuration
• Overall maintenance saving for each luminaire type
• Accumulated Energy savings generated by the new configuration
• Payback period estimation for the new configuration of lighting system

On the completion of the analysis, the technical auditors will compare the variable and fixed costs of the old and new configurations. The final report which includes overall financial & technical summary, ROI and overall payback period will have our recommendations to comply the international standard of light levels according to the requirement of the application while considering the efficiency of the lighting systems at the same time.

4. FAÇADE LIGHTING

Façade lighting solutions shape a building’s architecture and accentuate details in multifaceted manner by directing light very precisely. An intelligent, resource-saving combination of façade lighting meets functional and aesthetic requirements, creates new urban spaces and lends a unique quality to architecture at night. Illuminated architecture shapes a townscape and gives it a personality.

There are two aspects to façade lighting. It enhances the cultural value and attractiveness of a project, but it consumes energy and tends to produce unnecessary night time brightness. Intelligent lighting solutions are needed in order to reconcile these conflicting effects.  Architectural façade lighting can be Emotional and Communicative, where emotional lighting transforms the architecture utilizing light patterns whereas Communicative lighting solutions convey the information that goes beyond the mere appearance of the façade, which is achieved nowadays with LED Pixel driven luminaires.
