Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a technique for lighting up a building such as an office building.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Illuminating a building such as an office building at night is very effective in producing a highly active cityscape. However, in conventional buildings with light-up equipment, the light-up lighting fixtures provided along the outer wall were configured to be turned on all at once at a specified time, so they were used for overtime work, etc. If there is a room inside, the indoor lighting equipment and the lighting equipment for lighting up will be turned on at the same time, which not only wastes power consumption, but also for people in the room, there is light for lighting up that comes in from outside. I sometimes felt uncomfortable. Therefore, there were large restrictions on the time of light-up and design.

Further, in order to prevent light for illuminating from entering the room through the window, a lighting fixture for illuminating should be provided on the upper part of the building adjacent to the building to be illuminated. A light-up system in which a light-shielding mask having a pattern corresponding to the appearance of a building is provided to irradiate light on a wall surface other than a window is also disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-
It is proposed by Japanese Patent No. 262807.

This light-up system is considered to be effective for a building having a large opaque wall surface between windows, such as a building having a continuous window structure, but is not suitable for a building entirely covered with glass. Moreover, since it is a technology that is lit up while the room is in use, the indoor lighting equipment and the lighting equipment for lighting up are turned on at the same time, and there is waste in power consumption. This is almost the same as the above-mentioned conventional example.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made with the above points in mind, and its purpose is to illuminate a building in accordance with the state of use of the room. While eliminating the waste of power consumption, the aspect of lighting up changes depending on the state of use of the room, creating a more active cityscape,
Moreover, since there is no functional inconvenience even if the light for lighting up enters the room, it is an object of the present invention to provide a building equipped with a lighting system that increases the flexibility of the time of lighting and the design.

[0006]

The technical means taken by the present invention to solve the above problems are as follows. That is, a building provided with a light-up system according to the present invention is provided with a plurality of light-up lighting fixtures for illuminating a boundary area between indoors and outdoors, in which a light-up range by them is provided corresponding to a section of a room, As for the lighting fixture for lighting up and the indoor lighting fixture of each room, by turning off the indoor lighting fixture of any room, only the lighting fixture for lighting up corresponding to the room is automatically turned on, and either By turning on the room lighting fixtures in a room, only the lighting fixtures for lighting up that room are automatically turned off, and only the range corresponding to the room where the interior lighting fixtures are turned off is illuminated. It is characterized by being configured in.

The power of the lighting fixture for lighting up is turned on.
・ The main switch that turns off is artificially turned on and off

According to the above construction, even when it is dark and the time when the building should be lighted up, when all the rooms are in use and their indoor lighting fixtures are lit up, the light is turned on. Lighting equipment does not light up.

When the use of one of the rooms is finished and the interior lighting equipment of the room is turned off, the lighting equipment for lighting up provided corresponding to the compartment of the turned off room is automatically turned on, and the interior lighting equipment is turned on. Only the area corresponding to the room where the fixture is turned off is illuminated.

When the indoor lighting equipment is turned off after the use of the other room is finished, the lighting equipment for lighting up provided corresponding to the compartment of the room is automatically turned on, and the range of lighting up is expanded. Then, after the same steps are performed one after another, when the interior lighting fixtures of all rooms are turned off, all the lighting fixtures for lighting are turned on.

When the indoor lighting equipment of any room is turned on again, only the lighting equipment for lighting up provided corresponding to the section of the room is automatically turned off, and the room lighting equipment is turned on. Light-up is interrupted only in the range corresponding to.

As described above, since the building is lighted up for each room according to the usage state of the room, the indoor lighting equipment and the lighting equipment for lighting up do not light up at the same time,
It is possible to avoid waste of power consumption.

Further, since the range illuminated by turning on the lighting equipment for lighting corresponds to an unused room in which the indoor lighting equipment is turned off, it is functional even if the light for lighting enters the room. No inconvenience, and therefore
Greater flexibility in designing the time of light up and design.

In particular, since the lighting equipment for lighting up is provided with the lighting range corresponding to the compartments of the room and blinks in conjunction with the turning off and lighting of the indoor lighting equipment, the lighting equipment is lit up depending on the usage state of the room. By changing the aspect, various design effects can be obtained over time, and a more active cityscape can be created.
