Home Solar lighting blog Case studies Renovation of the Bordeaux School of Architecture
The National Superior School of Architecture and Landscape of Bordeaux has taken advantage of the State Recovery Plan to begin the renovation work on its pyramid, an iconic construction, as well as to improve the energy performance of several of its buildings. Sunna Design has been contacted for its expertise in solar energy in order to rethink the public lighting of the premises.

By choosing a solar lighting system, the Bordeaux School of Architecture simplifies and drastically reduces the cost of its renovation work.
Rehabilitating an outdated electrical network or creating new electrical connection networks is a long, costly and inconvenient process for users of the premises. Autonomous street lamps on the other hand are easy to install, without heavy work, and are immediately operational.
For its campus, ENSAP has opted for around thirty solar street lights from the UP range of Sunna Design, all equipped with a tilting system for the solar panels to optimize the capture of the available energy. All of Sunna Design’s solar street lamps guarantee a reliable and efficient lighting without power cuts, in accordance with the needs of students, professors and residents of the campus.
The call for proposals for the renovation of ENSAP’s exterior lighting has been won by the Flint agency, associated with the MoonWalkLocal agency. The BETA fluides design office has provided the technical expertise. The French installer Ineo (Engie/Equans) has carried out the work.
The stated desire to work with local suppliers naturally made the project leaders turn to Sunna Design for the deployment of a solar street lighting system. This 100% French and local collaboration resonates with the renovation principles of the Bordeaux School of Architecture: sustainable development and energy sobriety.
Sunna Design’s solar solutions have also distinguished themselves by the quality of their services. Beyond a reliable and eco-responsible lighting, these intelligent street lamps are equipped with an advanced technology.
The patented SunnaCORE electronic card allows regulating the intensity of the LEDs, storing solar energy and releasing it during periods of low solar irradiation. As for the SunnAPP application, it accompanies users throughout the use of their product and in particular allows a very precise management of the lighting profiles.
For a school of architecture, aesthetics are also very important, and the modern and pure line of Sunna Design’s streetlights also convinced ENSAP Bordeaux.
