What Is It?

Classroom Lighting : Controls

What do I Need to Do?

How Does It Work?

The classroom lighting are linked in rows which can be controlled by the bank of 4 switches next to the door. The lights are also fitted with movement sensors which mean that they will automatically switch off if there is no one in the room.

Use the light switch just as you would at home; switch on when you come into the room and switch off when you leave. If you are alone in the room and being very still you might find that the lights switch off ; either wave your arms around or switch them back on at the switch.

Please Note Don’t hold the switches down unless you want to adjust light levels.

…take home message

A New Professionalism The evidence under our noses

“in theory, theory and practice are the same, in practice they aren’t” SANTA FE INSTITUTE for research into complex systems “designers seldom get feedback, and only notice problems when asked to investigate a failure” ALASTAIR BLYTH CRISP Commission 00/02, UK “unlike medicine, the professions in construction have not developed a tradition of practice-based user research … Plentiful data about design performance are out there, in the field … Our shame is that we don’t make anything like enough use of it” FRANK DUFFY Building Research & Information, 2008 “I’ve seen many low-carbon designs, but hardly any low-carbon buildings” ANDY SHEPPARD Arup, 2009
