LAB1 is a design office that focuses on lighting and energy-related issues in buildings.The office was founded in 2015 in Istanbul, Turkey. In projects in which we are involved as LAB1, we work on both daylighting and artificial lighting techniques integrated to achieve sustainable lighting systems.Our designs are based on the following ideas;- Architectural context- Functionality- User comfort- Minimum usage of natural sources- Respect for ecology- Energy and cost efficiency// SERVICES:We believe that ‘sustainable lighting' can be designed with a combination of studies on natural and artificial lighting.We work with the architects or building owners from the early design stages of the buildings to improve their daylight performance. We offer some lighting-related services from an urban scale to a single-room scale, as can be seen below.Daylight Studies— Shadow and orientation studies for buildings (site scale).— Daylighting analysis and design (building and room-scale).— Building facade design and materials consultancy.— LEED & BREEAM Daylight Credit documentation.— Interior darkness calculations.— Lighting design consultancy for ‘Green Buildings'.Architectural Lighting Design Services— Lighting design concept studies.— Full-scope lighting project studies.— Technical Specifications and Tender Documents.— LEED & BREEAM Lighting Credit documentation.— Procurement Consultancy.— Construction Controls.— Operations & Maintenance Guides.— Energy and Cost Optimization studies.
