The AIA Convention 2016 takes place this week in Philadelphia from May 19-21. The architecture and design event offers an impressive lineup of celebrity speakers, educational city tours, workshops and seminars and nearly 800 exhibitors. This year’s theme is “Where technology and creativity come together to create what’s possible”.

Here are a few of the cost effective and creative solutions Philips Lighting will have on display at booth 3839.

Our OneSpace luminous ceiling will be installed over our reception area. This made-to-measure luminous ceiling panel combines state-of-the-art lighting and acoustic technology in a sleek-looking luminaire. OneSpace will liberate you from the constraints of conventional ceiling design. Designers will be able to transform any interior into one cohesive space, with beautiful homogeneous light.

PureGlow Intelligent Color Powercore RGBA excels in areas where traditional linear luminaires are impractical. With its compact size and extremely short mixing distance, PureGlow delivers exceptionally high- quality light for a wide range of interior applications from cove to wall-washing to backlighting.

Philips Color Kinetics ActiveSite is the first ever cloud-hosted connected lighting system for remotely monitoring, managing, and maintaining architectural LED lighting installations. ActiveSite protects your brand and lighting system investments by ensuring optimal lighting system performance.

The award-winning SoftView LED parking garage luminaire by Philips Gardco will also be featured in the outdoor section of our booth. SoftView uses edge lit technology, where LED light is transmitted through the edge of a guide panel. This creates uniform indirect illumination that increases visual comfort without compromising performance or exposing viewers to harsh glare. SoftView parking garage luminaires increase a feeling of openness in the space, without the gloomy cave effect that may make some garage users feel unsafe.

The Power over Ethernet (PoE) / Tunable White Ceiling with Envision Manager will also be on display. Power over Ethernet (PoE) based connected lighting makes integration of data, monitoring, and management of the lighting system fast and easy – delivering light beyond illumination. With PoE, not only power and data can be delivered for the luminaire over a standard Ethernet cable but it also allows the lighting system to be merged with the IT system. Like a computer, each luminaire has a unique IP address and can be individually monitored and managed.
