Especially for construction projects involving existing structures, the focus is not only on functional but especially also on aesthetic aspects that reflect the current Zeitgeist and trend. Architects, tradespeople and also the furniture industry can meet these requirements with EGGER products. New product concepts and system solutions such as acoustically effective ceiling elements with high-power LEDs offer innovative and modern design elements. Lighting and acoustics in one system The concept developed by EGGER and its partners Akustik Plus, Bartenbach Lichtlabor and Digital Elektronik is a lighting solution that meets the highest design and functional standards, combining lighting and acoustics into an integrated system. One of the numerous advantages is the low structural height of just 30 mm. As a modular ceiling system with a layout that can be customised, the concept with a broad selection of wood, uni and fantasy decors offers extensive design freedom. Recyclable components and mercury-free illuminants ensure the environmental compatibility of the system. Thanks to energy-efficient lighting technology and acoustic boards made of the renewable raw material wood, the concept is sustainable with a long lifespan oup to 50000 hours. In the course of the Light & Building trade fair in Frankfurt, the Light & Acoustics concept realised by EGGER, Bartenbach Lichtlabor, Akustik Plus and Digital Elektronik received the 2010 Architecture and Technology Innovation Award. 2
Simple elegance combined with perfect acoustics in the room ceiling design in the EGGER video conference room: W1000 Premium White decor with ST30 glossy surface and perforations with a hole diameter of 1.5 mm in a 4 mm grid. Peter Bartenbach, München ACOUSTICALLY EFFECTIVE CEILING ELEMENTS WITH HIGH-POWER LEDS Better room acoustics The combination of light and acoustics brings two key architectural topics together. EGGER acoustic boards stand for sound absorption which is achieved through barely perceptible small holes in the board surface. These so-called microperforations represent an economical and sustainable way to create a pleasant room atmosphere without disturbing the visual decor image. EGGER offers a variety of perforation patterns, all of which are very well suited for application even in rooms that require a high visual appeal such as conference facilities. With holes from one to six millimetres in diameter at intervals from three up to a maximum of 32 millimetres, the perforations can be applied across the entire surface or only on certain segments. This achieves a significant reduction in reverberation time and noticeably improves room acoustics. ProAcoustic EURODEKOR EURODEKOR perforated Black acoustic membrane Tailored to the respective room acoustic requirements and visual standards, we offer a suitable product structure and the corresponding perforations. Our base product is the ProAcoustic EURODEKOR board with a melamine faced surface. Our premium product, ProAcoustic Standard, features small holes with a diameter of just 1.0 mm resulting in barely perceptible microperforations. A square meter of this board has 111,111 holes. Even from a short distance of approximately 1.5 m, these holes are barely visible and the original wood effects are maintained. 3
aurilux LIGHtInG system Thanks to the specially designed lens optics, light is emitted in a cone that assures glare-free lighting under all normal viewing angles. As a result, only small openings just 8 mm in size are visible in the ceiling viewed from below. The high-power LEDs with lens optics and integrated driver electronics are concealed in a compact housing behind the acoustically effective surface. These units form a plug-in system with a modular structure, permitting a variety of arrangements such as rows or arrays. Combining warm white and daylight white LEDs allows the colour temperature to be continuously adjusted from 3000 to 6000 Kelvin.The intelligent combination of energy-efficient lighting technology, acoustic effectiveness and ceiling panels opens up entirely new interior design possibilities without any competition between lighting and architecture. The system is a highly functional and sustainable lighting solution that meets demanding design standards. aurilux detailed cross section Principal cross section through a ceiling panel DIMEnsIonInG the LIGHtInG system The cone diagram models the achievable average illumination in relation to the installation height of the lighting system.

However, a lighting designer should be consulted in order to precisely calculate and plan a high-quality lighting system. h (m) E (m) aurilux MoDuLE 64 2 5 The dual-row module from the Aurilux system with 5 high-power LEDs at 64 mm intervals per row is ideal for rooms with a high luminous flux demand per unit area. It can be realised with singlecolour lighting such as cool white, neutral white and warm white or as a dimmable system. Sophisticated, thermally optimised heat transfer from the LED to the housing guarantees the longest possible LED lifespan. An additional heat sink is no longer required. 1.00 1.50 2.00 2.50 3.00 3.50 aurilux cone diagram 64 2 5 600 lx 260 lx 150 lx 90 lx 65 lx 45 lx 1.15 1.70 2.25 2.85 3.40 4.00 4
Bartenbach Lichtlabor Microperforations that are barely perceptible to the user are applied to the acoustically effective ceiling elements. A highly effective broad-spectrum absorber, which is especially well suited to the frequency range of human speech, is concealed behind the surface which is available in a large selection of decors. The coreboard is made of sustainable wood-based materials. MoDuLaR structure Akustik Plus preassembles the installation and connection modules in accordance with individual project planning.

Entrance area of the EGGER customer forum The entrance area of the EGGER visitor forum was equipped with the light and acoustics concept in June of 2010. A modern ambiance results from the combination of the Premium White decor and a glossy surface. Prior to the conversion, the lighting situation in the room was unbalanced as a result of an unsuitable luminance distribution. Direct and reflection glare in the reflective floor was another problem. The redesign increased the illumination and luminance level. A balanced luminance distribution was achieved thanks to the lighting system, which fades into the background and puts the architecture into the spotlight. Before the conversion Peter Bartenbach, München Bartenbach Lichtlabor EGGER video conference room An LED ceiling made of ProAkustik boards in the Premium White decor with the glossy ST30 surface was installed in the EGGER video conference room in June of 2010. The functionally and aesthetically appealing solution creates a pleasant atmosphere in the room. Peter Bartenbach, München Before the conversion: Glare from the dominant light fixtures impairs perception. Bartenbach Lichtlabor After the conversion, even basic lighting that has been optimally integrated into the room layout ensures a stable optical perception, leading to physical well-being and fatigue-free work. 6
