Metaroom x RELUX | Efficient Planning and Retrofitting

How the Integration of Metaroom and RELUX
Simplifies Compliance with 2025 Lighting Standards

 Guest article by Karin Örarbäck, Metaroom by Amrax 

The lighting and electrical planning industry is undergoing a significant transformation. New regulations, such as the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), EU Regulation 2023/826, and the transition to LED technology (RoHS Directive), are reshaping how professionals design, upgrade, and implement lighting systems. The stakes are high: planners must balance sustainability, efficiency, and legal compliance.

MetaRoom makes it easy to digitalize and import and work with spaces in RELUX.

This is where the Metaroom and Relux integration comes in. This partnership offers lighting and electrical planners a seamless solution to meet these challenges efficiently. From optimized workflows to ensuring compliance with strict regulations, this toolset saves time, minimizes errors, and maximizes results.

Regulations that will shape the industry in 2025

  1. Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR):
    Requires lighting products to be designed for sustainability, recyclability, and energy efficiency.

  2. EU Regulation 2023/826:
    Establishes stricter energy consumption limits for standby and off-mode systems.

  3. Transition to LED Lighting (RoHS Directive):
    Mandates the complete phase-out of outdated fluorescent and incandescent systems.

  4. Future Homes Standard (UK):
    Enforces energy-efficient building codes, impacting both new builds and retrofitting projects.

Impact on retrofitting projects

Retrofitting projects face significant challenges under these new regulations. Outdated lighting systems often fail to meet modern energy efficiency standards, making the switch to LED technology and advanced control systems a necessity. This involves:

  • Accurate measurements and analysis of existing spaces.

  • Designing compliant lighting layouts with updated fixtures and energy-efficient solutions.

  • Balancing cost-efficiency for businesses and private households.

Retrofitting can be complex, especially when information and plans for existing spaces are incomplete. This is where the Metaroom-Relux integration provides a decisive advantage.

                  «Thanks to the collaboration between Metaroom and RELUX, lighting planners can make their planning processes much more efficient and at the same time fulfil all the requirements of the lighting standards. Especially in complex refurbishment projects, a lot of time can be saved and errors minimised, while we deliver sustainable and cost-efficient solutions. This toolset is a real game changer for our industry.»

                  How the Integration of Metaroom and RELUX transforms 2025 lighting planning

                  1. Precision in Space Analysis:
                    With Metaroom, planners can scan spaces quickly and generate 3D models within minutes. These true-to-scale models capture every detail – from room dimensions, windows, and doors to furniture and architectural features.

                  2. Seamless Design Integration:
                    Thanks to the Relux integration, these 3D models can be imported directly into the lighting planning software. Manual data entry errors are eliminated, and project workflows are significantly accelerated.

                  3. Simplified Compliance with Regulations:
                    Relux’s advanced simulation tools enable planners to evaluate lighting scenarios directly within the 3D model for compliance with standards. Whether it’s meeting energy efficiency targets or optimizing layouts for LED systems, every project is regulation-ready.

                  4. Efficiency in Retrofitting Projects:
                    For retrofitting, the Metaroom-Relux workflow offers clear advantages
                    Rapid digitization of spaces, including the documentation of outdated fixtures.
                    Simulation and visualization of LED upgrades.
                    Accurate projections for energy savings and costs for clients

                  5. Competitive Advantage
                    The integration not only saves time but also elevates the quality of your work. Planners can deliver more precise designs, speed up approvals, and demonstrate professional, compliant solutions to clients, giving their businesses a clear competitive edge.
