Avenue.


On top of rebranding 230 Park Avenue through architectural restoration and build- ing system upgrades, Monday Properties was also pursuing LEED Gold certification. “LED was always a consideration, but when we started five years ago, the systems did not have sufficient output,” Borden explains. “The recent dramatic improvements in LED performance made us reconsider and ultimately select LED.” Monday Properties’ Vice President of Property Management and Operations Hani J. Salama confirms that the Lumenpulse luminaires installed on the rooftop consume 71% less energy than the original fixtures, adding, “the new lighting dovetails with our ongoing commitment to energy efficiency.” On top of energy savings, the RGB fixtures will also provide some entertainment. On a typical night, the building will run its standard White show – static 4000K white with three-minute dynamic changes every 27 minutes – but the team has also pro- grammed 20 colour-changing shows made of static and dynamic sequences. Using a Pharos control system, mounted in the engi- neering office deep within the building, the luminaires can be programmed to change

230 Park Avenue in New York wurde 1929 mit seinen 34 Stockwerken errichtet und galt einst als eines der höchsten Wolkenkratzer Manhattans. Im Laufe der Jahrzehnte jedoch ging es neben den umliegenden Gebäuden immer mehr verloren. Der Besitzer Monday Properties beschloss, dies zu korrigieren, indem sie The Lighting Practice an- heuerten, um ein starkes Beleuchtungsdesign für diesen Standort zu kreieren. The Lighting Practice entschied sich für mehr als 700 farbwechselnde LED-Leuchten aus den Lumenbeam und Lumenfa- cade Sortimenten von Lumenpulse. Der Besitzer wollte, dass das Gebäude die LEED- Gold-Zertifizierung erwarb und die effiziente Leis- tung der LED-Technologie trug entscheidend dazu bei. Das Hausdach des Gebäudes, das zuvor als einziger Bereich beleuchtet wurde, verbraucht nun 71 % weniger Energie im Vergleich zu den vorheri- gen Beleuchtungen. Die LED-Leuchten verschaffen ebenfalls eine


colours for special occasions like July 4th or Thanksgiving. Each colour show has two static looks. A static colour is displayed for 27 minutes followed by one of the two dynamic shows that run for three minutes. The façade then locks in to the next static colour as the cycle repeats.


Holiday shows are programmed to trigger on specific dates and times in the system’s annual calendar, but can also be accessed through the manual control station and through the network interface, giving Mon- day Properties the ability to change, edit and create new shows, and to control each fixture independently. Testing of 230 Park Avenue’s new lighting has sparked the interest of passers-by. Bor- den says people often stop to ask questions, and a few have even applauded. But Borden’s priority is the address itself. “We are helping people rediscover this building,” he declares. “Good lighting should enhance the visitor’s experience of a project. Like art, it should produce an emotional sensation that elevates the experience of the project. It should help to turn a location into a place that makes the visitor want to return.” www.thelightingpractice.com


enorme Flexibilität. An einem normalen Tag wird das Gebäude durch 4000K weißen Lichts beleuchtet. Doch an besonderen Feiertagen kön- nen spezielle programmierte Displays angeboten werden. Eine statische Farbe wird 28 Minuten lang benutzt, gefolgt von einer dreiminütigen dyna- mischen Show und dann wird eine neue statische Farbe benutzt, da sich der Kreislauf wiederholt.

Costruito nel 1929 e alto 34 piani, 230 Park Av- enue di New York , una volta considerato uno dei grattacieli più alti di New York, nel corso dei decenni è divenuto un po’ sperduto all’interno degli edifici circostanti. Il proprietario Monday Properties ha deciso di dare perciò un volto nuovo all’edificio affidando alla società Lighting Practice l’incarico di creare un progetto d’illuminazione forte e d’impatto per l’intera costruzsione. Light- ing Practice ha quindi messo in campo più di 700 dispositivi al LED multicolore Lumenbeam di Lu- menpulse e della gamma Lumenfacade.

Nel realizzare questo progetto, l’obiettivo del propri- etario era quello di ottenere la certificazione LEED Gold e l’efficiente realizzazione della tecnologia al LED ha sicuramente apportato aiuto notevole verso il suddetto traguardo. Il tetto dell’edificio, prec- edentemente l’unica parte illuminata, consuma ora il 71% di energia in meno rispetto a quando venivano utilizzate le luci originarie. I dispositivi al LED apportano alla struttura anche una notevole flessibilità. In una giornata normale, l’edificio è illuminato da 4000K di luce bianca. In occasioni speciali invece, può realizzare anche dei programmi d’illuminazione specifici. Un colore statico viene utilizzato per 27 minuti, susseguito da uno spettacolo dinamico di tre minuti, dopo di che viene utilizzato un nuovo colore statico a rip- etizione del ciclo.


ESPAÑOL


Construido en 1929 y con una altura de 34 pisos, el 230 de Park Avenue en Nueva York fue considerado alguna vez uno de los edificios más altos de Man-


hattan. A lo largo de las décadas, sin embargo, se ha perdido entre medio de los edificios de los alre- dedores. El propietario, Monday Properties, decidió corregir esto contratando a The Lighting Practice para crear un fuerte diseño de iluminación para este lugar. The Lighting Practice especificó más de 700 luminarias LED de colores cambiantes Lu- menbeam y Lumenfacade de Lumenpulse. El propietario quería que el edificio alcanzara la certificación Dorada LEED y el rendimiento de la tecnología LED ayudó radicalmente en esto. La azotea del edificio, sector que anteriormente era el único que estaba iluminado, consume ahora un 71% menos de energía que cuando utilizaba los artefactos originales. Los artefactos de LED otorgan además una gran flexibilidad. En un día normal, el edificio es ilu- minado por 4.000K de luz blanca. Pero en fiestas especiales, puede suministrar exhibiciones es- pecialmente programadas. Durante 27 minutos se utiliza un color estático, seguido de un show dinámico de tres minutos y luego un nuevo color estático es utilizado al repetirse el ciclo.
