In the heart of a neighborhood attentive to the growth and development of the younger generation, stands an integrated child care center where child care and education come together in an environment designed to stimulate children's cognitive and emotional development, IKC Het Kristal Dordrecht.

To ensure optimal visual conditions at all times of the day, lighting plays a key role. This is where the essential contribution of 3F Group comes in, which made possible the implementation of a smart lighting system that complies with the Fresh Schools PvE - Class B protocol, a Dutch standard that promotes environmental quality in school buildings.

Learning-friendly light

The 3F Filippi intervention involved the use of two functional and smart high-end products: 3F Dìagon and 3F Reno with UGR optics.
These two high-performance products, designed for use in education, were chosen because of their uniform, glare-free light, which can improve the visual comfort of children and educators.

3F Dìagon is featured in Soft UGR, recessed and surface-mounted versions in its Dìagon P variant, while 3F Reno has been installed in White coloring with a 200 mm diameter dish that combined with UGR optics helps reduce glare by 95 percent.

In addition to these technical features, both classrooms and common spaces are intelligently lit using Tunable White technology, which allows for a variation in light output throughout the day by following circadian cycles (HCL), promoting concentration and well-being at crucial times of the day.

A sharing project, an excellent result

This project has recently been completed and put into operation to the full satisfaction of all involved. Collaboration among the various parties, including ESZET Group, our long-time partner, has made it possible to create a state-of-the-art educational environment that is mindful of sustainability and quality of school life.

Thanks to the energy efficiency, construction quality, and appliance design of 3F Group, the new IKC Het Kristal Dordrecht is a virtuous model for future education.

Keep Lighting Your Vision!
