Airam participated in the lighting implementation of a school and multipurpose center located in Central Finland. The newly constructed school center Valo (light), was completed in spring 2025. As autumn arrived, the school community began the academic year in new facilities, where lighting was implemented using Airam luminaires controlled via Casambi.
Lighting choices based on space requirements
The school center includes a wide variety of spaces, each with different lighting needs. The luminaires were selected from Airam’s product range primarily based on the specific requirements of each space. A key common factor in the selection was the integration of the luminaires into a wireless Casambi network. Wood materials were used as surface finishes in shared areas, and lighting choices were made to highlight these materials.
Modular luminaires for different spaces
The most important spaces in the school, such as classrooms, are illuminated with the glare-free Plano Pro. Plano Pro is a modular luminaire that produces uniform light and has an excellent UGR value (< 19). It also has a high color rendering index, making it a great choice for craft classrooms.
The energy-efficient Plano was chosen as the general luminaire for corridors and lobbies. Recessed into the ceiling, Plano is a cost-effective and maintenance-free solution that provides smooth and pleasant lighting.
Ebba, equipped with deep optics, is perfectly suited for the school’s modern meeting rooms. The white ceiling-mounted luminaire with light lines blends seamlessly into the structure. Its glare-free lens optics and excellent UGR value ensure minimal discomfort glare.
Lighting choices highlight materials
The staircases of the three-story school center feature extensive use of wood materials. Natural light enters through high-placed windows. A round Puck luminaire was chosen for the main staircase and dining area ceilings. It provides even lighting from top to bottom and complements the organic wooden surfaces. The lowest level of the same staircase is illuminated by a wall-mounted Vario luminaire. Its downward-facing indirect light enhances safety and highlights the natural wood slat wall.
Wireless control
Wireless lighting control is a modern and maintenance-free solution, making it ideal for educational institutions. In new buildings, electrical systems for lighting can be implemented using modern technologies. The wireless Casambi network enables seamless lighting adjustment and contributes to energy savings.
