Technology
We Have Brought Light Back to Our Cities.
For the first time in the world, by virtue of DECARTgroup technology a building face has turned from a traditionally illuminated facility into a light source changing the surrounding space. The light passing through a translucent image on the glass of the building facade transforms the building introducing some new nature to prosy cityscape.
The SUN rarely pampering the townspeople with its light during a long winter period retraces its steps to the city.
DECARTgroup Company has managed, for the first time ever, to add a new function to the buildings with glass face without changing the traditional building technologies.
We Have Made Facade Shine from Within.
This was the target of the developed original DECARTgroup technology.
The backbone of the technology is made of extra fine LED panels.
The panels of insignificant thickness have a dimension corresponding to that of the glass on which the image is placed. The panel dimensions are limited by the glass dimensions only. The panel thickness makes it possible to place it between the wall (thermal insulation) and the glass of the face without changing the existing supporting structure.
By using semiconducting light sources, we have managed to settle a number of problems:
We have managed to reduce significantly the power consumption required for the illumination of the buildings. Thus, just 16 W are needed to illuminate 1 sq. m of the building.
The long living lighting elements used in the panels make them work for 10 to 15 years, thus resulting in significantly lower maintenance costs.
By leaving fluorescent lights or their derivative out, DECARTgroup technology has made it possible to reduce environmental impact as the lighting elements used do not require any cost-intensive disposal methods associated with contamination risk.
To date, there have been two major projects implemented in Saint-Petersburg, Russia, using DECARTgroup technology. The commissioned facilities have changed the scenery of the districts they are situated in.
The buildings emitting light have reminded us of the importance of innovative solutions in our everyday life.
