New luminaire and control technologies undergo quick and important changes of their optical, efficacy and economic performance. However, construction of buildings can represent a longer process, sometimes taking years. How is it possible to design and optimize lighting today for installations that will occur in a later time frame? How can manufacturers make their products evolve and contribute to the performance of older, active specifications? This demonstration, showing both the point of view of a lighting designer and a manufacturer, will highlight how it is possible to "spec forward" an evolving solution to have the latest technology without having to completely rethink the lighting and the space.
