VALE DO LOBO – PORTUGAL
Design and performance with dramatic energy savings
Vale do Lobo in the Algarve region of Portugal is a large luxury tourist resort, incorporating more than 500 villas and a first class hotel. The resort welcomes approximately 750,000 visitors every year. Lighting plays an important role in creating a safe and welcoming nocturnal landscape for the visitors so that they can take full advantage of the facilities in the evening.
When relighting some of the roads in this campus, Infralobo, the company responsible for the infrastructure, wanted luminaires that would ensure safety and provide a warm ambiance whilst complimenting the landscape. They opted for the Piano and Stylage.
The Piano has a contemporary design which harmoniously integrates the environment and will reduce the annual energy consumption by 78%.
The modern design of the classic Stylage lantern perfectly enhances the modern architecture of this tourist resort, bringing a touch of charm during the day. It diffuses a soft yet bright white light at night, improving the lighting levels and creating a welcoming atmosphere with an impressive 90% cut in energy consumption per year compared to the previous luminaires.
