How does Spectrasol contribute to building sustainability and meet the requirements of certifications such as LEED, BREEAM, and WELL?

Spectrasol technology is designed to maximize energy efficiency while supporting the health, vitality, and well-being of users, making it an ideal solution for sustainable buildings. Here are the key aspects that enable Spectrasol to meet the criteria of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) and WELL certifications:

1. Energy efficiency and savings

• Spectrasol achieves up to 130 lm/W (lumens per watt), which significantly exceeds other full-spectrum LED lighting (80–100 lm/W).
• Thanks to its long lifespan (80,000+ hours) and low luminous flux degradation (<5% after 50,000 hours), it reduces maintenance and fixture replacement costs.
• Automatic lighting control (DALI, motion sensors) enables additional energy savings (up to 30% compared to conventional systems).

2. Healthy indoor environment (WELL, LEED EQ, BREEAM Health & Wellbeing)

• Circadian synchronization (melanopic energy 460–500 nm) supports productivity and reduces fatigue, which meets the criteria of the WELL Light Concept.
• Limiting harmful blue light (mDER ≤ 0.3) meets the requirements of EN 12464-1 and WELL v2 standards.
• High color rendering index (CRI >95) ensures accurate color perception, which is critical for LEED EQ (Environmental Quality).

3. Sustainable materials and production

• Manufacturing in the Czech Republic reduces the carbon footprint associated with transport.
• Recyclable aluminum heat sinks and polycarbonate optics minimize environmental impact at the end of the life cycle.
• No toxic materials (lead-free, mercury-free) – complies with RoHS and REACH.

4. Support for certifications

• LEED v4.1 – Spectrasol contributes to points in categories:
  • Energy & Atmosphere (EA) – thanks to high efficiency.
  • Indoor Environmental Quality (EQ) – improvement of daylight and its biological effects.
  • Innovation (IN) – unique biodynamic features.
• BREEAM Outstanding – contributions in sections:
  • Health & Wellbeing (HEA 05 – Visual Comfort) – reduction of glare and eye strain.
  • Energy (ENE 01 – Reduction of Energy Use) – low consumption.

5. Performance measurement and verification

• Spectral analysis (GL Spectis 5.0 Touch) confirms compliance with CIE S 026 requirements for circadian lighting.
• LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) study demonstrates a 15–20% lower carbon footprint compared to hybrid systems.

Conclusion

Spectrasol is not just energy-efficient lighting – it is a comprehensive solution for sustainable and healthy buildings. It meets the strictest international standards (LEED, BREEAM, WELL) and at the same time brings measurable benefits for users and the environment.
