ledilizia

Ledilizia is a term used in Italian discourse to refer to the integration of LED technology into building design and construction to optimize lighting performance, energy efficiency, and aesthetic effect.

It emerged with advances in LED efficiency and building automation; used across interiors, exteriors, and urban lighting; often aligned with sustainability goals.

Key technologies include LED luminaires, color temperature control, dimming, RGB or tunable white; control systems such as DALI, KNX; integration with BIM and building management.

Design considerations include thermal management, lifespan, maintenance, glare control, CRI, luminous efficacy, safety, codes and standards (EN 1838 for emergency lighting, RoHS, Ecodesign directive).

Applications include commercial, residential, public spaces, façades, signage, streetlighting integrated into architecture; benefits include energy savings, reduced maintenance, more design freedom; challenges include initial cost, control complexity, color stability over time.
