ASSOCIATED CONSULTING ENGINEERS HQ
Beirut, Lebanon
Installed Products
Associated Consulting Engineers (ACE) is a global consulting and engineering firm established over 50 years ago. It offers a combination of “multidisciplinary” architectural and engineering consulting and quality services to clients across the world. The headquarters are in Beirut, Lebanon, where Zumtobel created a lighting solution with a strong focus on energy efficiency. The ACE office is a full LED solution – right throughout the building. The whole project needed to achieve a total efficiency of < 9 W/m². Only Zumtobel was able to meet these challenging requirements while simultaneously delivering the high levels of lighting quality specified by the client.
The office space is illuminated with the PANOS downlight, helping to create comfortable lighting conditions throughout the building – from the task areas to communication zones, as well as in the corridors. The excellent color rendering is achieved with innovative red/white LED technology, which can reproduce almost the entire light spectrum. Maintaining a color temperature of 4000 K throughout the entire life of the product guarantees good lighting quality and helps support employee wellbeing – today and every day. The glare free office environment helps to reduce distractions and supports concentration and alertness. Using the right lighting solution in office applications is the foundation for creative and collaborative working. Despite wide spacings of 2.4 meters between each downlight, PANOS infinity ensures excellent wall and desk illumination, in line with the European standard EN12464.
Attractive interior design with integrated lighting solutions can help create and reinforce a particular identity. The executive floor of ACE Headquarters was designed with this philosophy very much in mind. While the general office areas are dominated by PANOS downlights, the executive office takes on a more linear design. Pure and soothing light in uniformly illuminated lines make SLOTLIGHT a perfect fit for this area. In the general areas of the building, SLOTLIGHT provides effective lighting and guidance.
The lighting solution can make a significant contribution towards the energy efficiency of a building. LED solutions demonstrate the new age of innovation and are a smart alternative to conventional lighting solutions. Thanks to the specification of a full LED lighting solution, ACE Headquarters was able to reduce their overall energy consumption by 30 %, using PANOS and SLOTLIGHT. The project achieved LEED silver certification. ACE Headquarters was financed by an environmental loan from BDL (Banque Du Liban). The BDL supports green building initiatives in Lebanon through an Environmental Loans initiative.
