9:15 Lighting a city with exceptional geographical and climatic conditions

Bruno Foucras, Head of Public Lighting and Illuminations, City of Marseille

The City of Marseille has 70 000 lighting points, making it the second largest street lighting network in France. The reflection on energy saving therefore needs to be adapted to a very large scale. Due to the city’s special geographical situation, other parameters must also be included, such as the problems of corrosion or light pollution in sensitive and protected natural spaces.

This session will present the public lighting department of Marseille and its organisation, the maintenance and management of the lighting network and the city’s energy efficiency policy.

 

 

 

 

 

9h45 The monument lighting policy of Marseille – focus on the Opera

Christian Point, Head of the Procurement, Studies and Illuminations Division, City of Marseille

 

On the occasion of the renovation of the facade of the Opera, the Public Lighting and Illumination Department of the City of Marseille implemented a new dynamic and colorful lighting scheme aiming at enhancing the building’s façade architecture, as well as the artistic vocation of the Opera and its surrounding square. It is in fact possible to adapt the lighting ambiances based on the different cultural events of the season. Thus, the lighting scheme has two facets: architectural and scenic. Furthermore, in addition to a more efficient and flexible lighting output, this new look, which uses LED technology, will save nearly 30% in energy consumption.
