Composing Light with Zumtobel

Vivaldi Software by Zumtobel Lighting presents lighting solutions and energy costs

February 6th, 2008

Zumtobel has recently developed VIVALDI, practical software to demonstrate and calculate human oriented, energy efficient lighting solutions. Built as an extension to existing lighting design packages, VIVALDI is designed to present the active, dynamic nature of quality lighting.

Previously static renderings of lighting solutions become alive. Luminaires can be dimmed or switched to show the real illuminated result.

Vivaldi will also calculate energy costs and CO2 emissions as a result of dimming for the day, week, month or year.

Intuitive software for the illuminated mind.
