Light reveals the original beauty of Saint Mary Assumption Cathedral Jakarta
What do Lighting Designer do?
The exterior of Saint Mary's Cathedral Church in Jakarta is a work of art. Our lighting designers want to bring back the original architectural beauty of this Neo-Gothic Cathedral in Jakarta.
Thanks to LED light technology now we can witness this magnificent church that can rightfully be called home to someone’s heart forevermore. The bright colors and intricate designs bring joy to the eyes.
New light technology gives a brighter light, better color rendering, and much lower energy consumption. It is giving us lights with a more colorful and bright appearance, as well as the ability to flood The Facade of The Saint Mary Cathedral Jakarta in colors that were never before possible.
Lighting designers verified their design concept with false color light mapping with Lighting Software Modeling such as DIALux
As Nikola Tesla once said “The scientific man doesn’t aim at an immediate result. He doesn’t expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up. His work is like that of the planter - for the future. His duty is to lay the foundation for those who are to come, and point the way.”
ALTA Integra is a multi-discipline building physics engineer designer such as acoustics sound, lights, thermal, air quality, and etc. Research agreed that the built environment is affecting the sensor, emotion, behavior, and biology of humans and other living objects.
Our mission is to create a greener, healthier, more beautiful, and happier life.

Daylighting Modeling Simulation that meets EN 12464-1
Daylighting Modeling & Simulation can predict the Daylight Quality Factor EN 12464-1
Daylighting Modeling Simulation that meets EN 12464-1
Using daylight in the office can reduce electricity energy usage and improve occupant health. If we want our workplace light by daylight then we want to make daylighting modeling and simulation to meet The EN 12464-1 defines daylight qualitative factors such as:
Agreeable luminous environment,
Harmonious luminance distribution,
Adequate illuminance for the interior areas,
Task areas or activity areas listed in the tables “Schedule of lighting requirements”,
Good uniformity,
Limitation of direct and reflected glare including veiling reflections,
Correct directionality of lighting and agreeable modeling,
Appropriate color rendering and color appearance of the light,
Avoidance of flicker and stroboscopic effects,
Quality of daylight,
Variability of light.
Alta Integra integrates harmonious integration between lighting and daylight factors in designing a healthy environment office. Architectural Building Physics such as Acoustic, Lighting, Thermal, and Air Quality play important role in making a better space for human-being. Let’s join our mission to share this belief and passion to make our world a better place.

Brightness Management Strategies of IWBI Visual Lighting Design
International WELL Building Institute - IWBI feature 53 Visual Lighting Design of Light Concept, part 2 Brightness Management Strategies: brightness contrast helps create visual hierarchy in space and increase productivity, but too much contrast may cause uncomfortable glare or eyestrain.
Light performance verification is needed to assure that the project has built as planned. The image is shown ALTA Integra’s lighting designer is measuring vertical light illumination for performance verification.
