Brombach + Gess has developed Pyramare FR3, a glued, fire-resistant glazing system based on the principle of direct glazing. The glass, which is available with solar control coatings, has no need for additional steel frames. As well as making it lighter and more weatherproof than a bolted solution, this enables elegant designs that blend seamlessly into the ship’s glass design. Lighting the way LED technology has become a go-to solution for sustainable interiors because it lasts longer and consumes up to 80% less energy than conventional lighting. For instance, TVV Marine Lighting’s unique long-life, easy-maintenance LED lighting solutions are enabling designers to create cost effective, good looking and energy-saving lighting effects. Hera says that full use of its maintenance-free LED luminaires for their complete lifetime can almost eliminate maintenance cost, while its dimming and motion detection controls enable significant reductions in energy consumption. Production is part of the sustainability picture too, as the small size and high- output LEDs of Hera’s filigree luminaires means that less energy and raw materials are needed to produce them.
