The DBU Centre for Environmental Communication now shines with the latest Lecture technique.

The Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt is one of our long-standing clients and has always been known for its “Green Meetings” – i.e. its sustainable events. But until now, the foundation has organised lectures and meetings using media technology dating from 2002 – which means that it is no longer state-of-the-art in terms of digital and ecological technology. Recently, the foundation issued a call for tenders for the technical upgrade
of its lecture centre in Osnabrück to consider a new green concept.

When we started the renovation, the foundation was still using large-screen projections in the lecture rooms with old beamers, which consume relatively large amounts of electricity. We replaced these annoying power guzzlers with a high-resolution LED screen with much lower power consumption and then turned our attention to the sound system. Here we installed the digitally controllable Beamsteering Loudspeaker from Pan Beam. They keep the acoustics almost constant even in reverberant rooms and have a very low power consumption. For the radio micro technology we chose the Digital 6000 series from Sennheiser and their proven hearing aid Tourguide.

We planned and implemented the conversion for the lecture centre together with the O&P engineering office from Ibbenbüren and are pleased that the Green Meetings are now even greener!
