Technical building equipment in the field of electrical engineering for healthcare, education, sports and leisure facilities

Technical building equipment in nurseries, schools and universities

A well-planned and future-proof electrical installation also plays a crucial role in educational institutions. Modern schools, universities and higher education institutions increasingly rely on digital learning concepts, requiring a high-performance and reliable infrastructure.

IBZ designs and implements intelligent lighting systems for classrooms and lecture halls that create an optimal learning environment while reducing electricity consumption through energy-efficient technologies. Smart control systems such as motion and presence detectors ensure that lights are only activated when needed. Dimmers and intelligent building automation further contribute to a demand-driven and resource-efficient lighting setup. Outdoor lighting operates automatically via twilight switches and timers, remaining off during weekends and holidays – an effective strategy to reduce energy costs and light pollution. Insect-friendly lighting solutions also help minimise environmental impact. Furthermore, IBZ integrates sun and glare protection systems into the planning process to optimise the use of natural light and reduce energy consumption for air conditioning.

Beyond creating an optimal learning environment, safety is a key concern in educational institutions. IBZ develops and implements reliable network installations, including high-performance Wi-Fi and IT networks, ensuring a stable digital infrastructure. State-of-the-art media technology enables interactive teaching methods, while comprehensive fire protection and alarm systems ensure seamless school operations and maximum safety.

A critical component of the safety infrastructure is the building alarm system, which enables a swift response in emergencies. In addition, IBZ integrates emergency and hazard response systems, including active shooter alarm systems with direct police connection, allowing for immediate emergency alerts in crisis situations.

In particular, during off-peak hours, when early and late-shift childcare staff often work alone, modern communication solutions are especially important. Intercom systems with direct links to all rooms and the entrance station enable staff to operate efficiently and safely. Video surveillance at entry points provides targeted control over who is at the door, ensuring children’s safety while allowing educators to perform their tasks undisturbed.

IBZ also plans and installs clock, public address and bell systems, supporting structured lesson planning and efficient break schedules. Accessibility is another crucial aspect: the integration of lift systems helps create an inclusive learning environment, ensuring unrestricted access for all pupils and students.

Technical building equipment for sports and leisure facilities

Sports and leisure facilities place high demands on electrical building equipment, as they rely on modern lighting, control and security systems. LED floodlight systems for sports fields and stadiums ensure optimal illumination, improve visibility during events and reduce energy consumption through efficient control technology.

As sports venues have high daytime energy requirements – for lighting, ventilation, heating systems and swimming pool technology – photovoltaic systems with storage units offer a sustainable solution. By intelligently using solar power, self-consumption can be maximised, reducing dependency on the public power grid. This not only leads to significant cost savings but also contributes to sustainable energy supply for the facility. Battery storage systems allow for efficient energy buffering, ensuring stable power supply even in the evening or during peak loads.

The protection of visitors and operators is another essential aspect of technical building equipment for sports facilities. We plan comprehensive security solutions, including access control systems, video surveillance, emergency lighting and evacuation systems, tailored to the specific needs of sports venues, stadiums and leisure facilities.

When designing sports halls and swimming pools, different areas of use must be considered. While high-performance lighting is required for halls and pool areas, changing rooms, sanitary facilities, storage and equipment rooms require targeted light control and secure electrical installations. We also integrate the necessary infrastructure for clock, timing and display systems as well as public address systems to ensure smooth operations.

Depending on the type of leisure facility, additional technical requirements must be taken into account. Sports halls, for example, require ball protection grilles to safeguard sensitive electrical installations. Swimming pools may feature an adjustable floor system to provide different water depths. Underwater lighting and sound systems can also be installed and synchronised with the above-water systems.
