070 DOHA REPORT / CROWNE PLAZA
The team at Visual.energy had already created a scheme for the Crowne Plaza before a change of policy by owners IHG necessitated a complete shift to LED technology. In the hotel corridors (below left), the team specified The Light Corporation Simgam and Anton downlights along with i-Led warm white LED strips in the coving.
PROJECT DETAILS
Crowne Plaza Doha, Airport Road, Doha, Qatar. Client: InterContinental Hotel Group Lighting Design: Visual.energy Interior Design: Arab Engineering Bureau
LIGHTING SPECIFIED Conference room:
The Light Corporation 18W recessed LED downlights iLED surface-mounted high-powered warm white LED cove lights
Corridor:
The Light Corporation Simgam 50 9.1W round recessed LED downlight with 20° beam
The Light Corporation Anton 3W round recessed LED downlight with 10° beam
LED versions. Where required, additional fixtures were added to produce the required lux levels. Lutron was specified for control throughout the hotel.
In order to prove their scheme would work in practice, Visual.energy produced 3D ren- ders of every area using 3DS Max software – accompanied by full photometry calcula- tions. To further reassure the client, mock- ups were carried out on site. Each of these were so close to the CAD predictions that the new LED concept was quickly approved and passed on to the installation engineers.
The hotel opened for business in August this year, welcoming as its first guest H.E. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Hamad Bin Abdullah Al Thani.
“I’m delighted to be the first guest here at Crowne Plaza Doha – The Business Park,” he proclaimed at the grand opening. “Our vision was to develop a hotel that would offer unparalleled meeting and conference facilities and exciting new restaurants for the booming Doha market. This hotel does exactly that.”

DEUTSCH
Das Crowne Plaza Doha liegt im Zentrum des Bankenviertels von Katar. Nur zwei Kilometer ent- fernt vom Flughafen Doha International Airport ge- hört es zum neuen Business Park-Bereich der Stadt und verfügt über 378 Zimmer, einschließlich 288 Gästezimmer und 90 Ein- und Zweibett-Residen- zsuiten. Laurence Titton und sein Team von Visual. energy hatten gerade ein umfassendes Beleuch- tungskonzept für das Crowne Plaza Doha beendet, als sie von den Besitzern von InterContinental Hotel Group (IHG) eine Auftragsänderung erhielten. Ende 2009 und als Teil einer Initiative zur Reduzierung der Umweltauswirkungen von Hotels aus ihrem Portfolio verfügte IHG, dass alle neuen Bauten eine 100 %ige LED-Beleuchtungspolitik übernehmen müssen. Visual.energy überarbeitete ihr ursprüngliches Konz- ept und ging systematisch alle Bereiche durch, um geeignete LED-Alternativen auszuarbeiten. In jedem Fall musste die neue Lösung dem ursprünglichen Konzept folgen, bei dem die Leuchten der bestehen-
den Konfiguration folgten. Der Kunde (das in Katar ansässige Arab Engineering Bureau) wollte halbe Lösungen unter allen Umständen vermeiden und verlangte, dass keine nachgerüsteten Quellen eing- esetzt werden durften; ausnahmslos mussten die Leuchten zweckbestimmt für die Nutzung mit einer LED-Lichtquelle sein.
ITALIANO
Il Crowne Plaza di Doha è posizionato nel cuore del distretto finanziario della capitale del Qatar. A soltanto due chilometri dall’aeroporto internazionale di Doha, fa parte della nuova area Parco Affari della città e contiene 378 stanze, di cui 288 sono stanze per gli ospiti e 90 sono suite residenziali da una o due camere da letto. Laurence Titton e la sua squadra di Visual.en- ergy avevano appena completato un progetto d’illuminazione dettagliato per il Crowne Plaza Doha, quando, all’improvviso, hanno ricevuto un cambio di direttive da parte dei proprietari di InterContinental Hotel Group (IHG) alla fine del 2009.

dell’iniziativa di ridurre l’impatto ambientale del suo portfolio di alberghi, la IHG ha decretato la necessità per tutti gli edifici di adottare una politica di illumin- azione al LED al 100%. Visual.energy ha perciò rivisitato il suo progetto iniziale ,studiando accuratamente ogni spazio e trovando pertanto nuove alternative al LED. In ogni caso, la nuova soluzione avrebbe dovuto adattarsi allo schema originale, riadattando l’illuminazione alla configurazione esistente. Al fine di evitare una soluzione che rimanesse a metà strada, il cliente (l’Arab Engineering Bureau basato nel Qatar), ha espressamente richiesto di non utilizzare risorse modificate; l’illuminazione doveva essere progettata utilizzando solamente risorse al LED.
ESPAÑOL
El Crowne Plaza Doha, se encuentra ubicado en el corazón del distrito bancario de la capital de Qatar. A solo dos kilómetros del Aeropuerto Internacional de Doha, es parte de la nueva zona Business Park
y pone en relieve 378 habitaciones, incluyendo 288 habitaciones para huéspedes y 90 suites residencia- les de una y dos habitaciones. Laurence Titton y su equipo en Visual.energy acaban de finalizar un plan de iluminación integral para el Crowne Plaza Doha al recibir cambios de instrucciones de parte de los propietarios del InterContinental Hotel Group (IHG). Era fines de 2009 y, como parte de una iniciativa para reducir el impacto medioambiental de los ho- teles de su portfolio, el IHG decretó que todas las construcciones nuevas deberían adoptar una política de iluminación 100% LED. Visual.energy repasó sus planes originales, pasando sistemáticamente por cada espacio y creando alter- nativas de LED apropiadas. En cada caso, la nueva solución tuvo que seguir el proyecto original con luminarias que siguieran la configuración existente. Deseosos de evitar una solución a mitad de camino, el cliente (Arab Engineering Bureau, con base en Qatar) solicitó que no se adoptaran recursos mod- ernizados; sin excepción, las luminarias deberían estar diseñadas con el propósito de utilizar ilumi- nación LED.
