The Process
The products available in both the lighting and control industries can create wonderful effects throughout your space. Having someone on your design and construction team who is knowledgeable in this area is extremely beneficial. Controlling light is a technique lighting designers use for aesthetic appeal, as well as controlling the costs of light. Automation is imperative for energy conservation. I have been working on lighting control systems for over 30 years and understand the many facets of automation. Lighting and controls are essential to our green buildings.
Combining talents within a project team provides good ideas, good communication and efficient management. Working in conjunction with you, your architect, builder, electrician and interior designer, I will coordinate the lighting from concept into construction. The design aspect includes lighting equipment, placement, and details for the electrical contractor. Control systems present a special facet of the overall package, and are discussed and agreed upon relative to the budget prior to a final selection.
