Well-designed lighting can enhance all aspects of the human experience. Not only does it provide an understanding of form, space and material but it also affects our senses, our emotions, our health and well- being. At WSP, we provide creative, energy-efficient lighting solutions for all types of projects. Our well-planned lighting schemes are fully integrated with the architecture, provide visual comfort and are adapted to the needs of the end-user while creating spaces that are inspiring and responsive.

Green Lighting Design
We are dedicated to the pursuit of creative and functional design solutions that also meet the requirements of energy efficiency and maintainability, and have a wealth of experience designing within the challenges and constraints of the strictest of energy codes. Our natural lighting design includes the design and placement of windows as well as daylight calculations for energy classification systems such as BREEAM, LEED and Green Star. We are also well versed in the application of well building standards and smart building technologies.
We also take care to manage the ecological impacts of our lighting designs, such as mitigating sky glow and light nuisance, and ensuring there is no adverse impact to fauna and flora.
Working for a range of clients, including local authorities, developers, construction companies and architects, we tailor our solutions to client needs, combining functionality, aesthetics and technological expertise with financial and environmental considerations.
Most importantly, we focus on the human factor. Whether we are designing for a factory, a museum, a workstation, a city street, park or residential development, we are passionate about light, its ability to transform and enhance, and enjoy delivering unique and successful outcomes for all our clients' projects.
