A dynamic environmentally actuated ceiling baffle and system that incorporates sidewalls with cuts or kerfs, top and bottom portions and sensors to automatically, programmatically and manually properly configure the ceiling baffle for optimal noise reduction based on the environment or the needs of the user, and that can be quickly and easily installed onto ceiling structures using integrated locks, cables or magnets, to produce a dynamic environmentally actuated ceiling baffle system, and to provide an aesthetically pleasing image, along with a reduction in unwanted noise and/or room acoustics, using the programmed or manual actuation to tune the ceiling baffle to respond appropriately to the acoustic need.

A multifunctional support assembly for use in a suspended ceiling system having a T-bar grid arrangement supporting ceiling tiles. The multifunctional ceiling support assembly comprises an elongate body having an elongate planar base portion having first and second lateral ends, first and second longitudinal ends, and a top plane; first and second connecting members each positioned at the first and second longitudinal ends of the elongate body and configured with support portions capable of attachment to the T-bar grid arrangement; and a third connecting member mounted on the top plane of the elongate body, the third connecting extends up from the elongate body and functions to separate and position ceiling tiles within the T-bar grid arrangement.

A lighting assembly for use in suspended T-Bar ceiling grid systems is provided comprising two linear lighting modules in a novel parallel arrangement. End plates are used to connect, support, and enclose longitudinal ends of the elongate body of each linear lighting modules at a predetermined and configurable spacing apart while simultaneously functioning as reflective faces for internal and external optical cavities. The configured gap spacing between individual linear lighting modules can be used to house and support components such as additional light sources, acoustic or decorative ceiling panels, HVAC components, or power systems, controls or sensors. Additional end plate embodiments can be configured to allow a T-bar to be placed in the configured gap spacing thereby enabling the mounting of the assembly in-line upon the longitudinal axis of a ceiling grid T-bar. Embodiments of linear lighting modules are presented comprising LED light sources, transmissive optical elements, light shaping lenses, reflectors and other functional components supported and housed within the elongate body. The transmissive optical elements may be backlit or edgelit from one or two sides and aligned horizontally or tilted relative to the ceiling grid plane. The linear lighting modules can provide a range of useful symmetric, asymmetric and tilted non-lambertian lighting distributions.

An end panel bracket useful with a building panel system is provided. The end panel bracket comprises a base, a middle portion extending from the base, a shelf extending from the middle portion, a notch, and a ledge.

A suspended ceiling system for a building structure includes a plurality of parallel struts for supporting a plurality of parallel vanes suspended from the struts in perpendicular relationship thereto. The vanes can be suspended in downwardly spaced relationship to the struts or in contiguous relationship therewith and occur in different forms including illuminated vanes, adjustable vanes and the like.

Novel supporting elements are used as separate or integrated components to enable multiple alternative configurations of modular ceiling systems comprising functional modules, ceiling elements such as ceiling tiles, and T-Bar grids. Embodiments provide for configurations with multiple height levels and orientations, particularly with light fixtures as functional modules. Alternative embodiment integrate power systems and other useful elements such as acoustic or decorative panels, HVAC components or power systems, controls or sensors. Additionally, different versions of the invention are disclosed for mounting lighting assemblies in an interconnected line, array or pattern either on opposing sides of one or more T-bar elements or at or close to the intersection of T-bar main beam and cross beams. The novel lighting assemblies disclosed provide a variety of direct and indirect lighting functions and are typically based on LED light sources.

A building panel system is provided that includes a perimeter frame; a main beam attached to the perimeter frame; a carrier attached to the main beam, the carrier having a plurality of identical hook members, each of the hook members having a protruding hooking portion on only a first side of the hook member, and a non-hooking portion on a second side of the hook member, the second side being opposite the first side; and a plurality of panels removably attached to the carrier, each of the panels being attached to the carrier by engaging one of the hooking portions.

A ceiling module and method of constructing the same, the ceiling module mountable on a suspended ceiling grid structure and including a plurality of elongate blade members having opposing faces, at least a part of each face of at least two blade members being substantially mutually opposed, at least one elongate cross member extending at least between at least two blade members such that the plurality of blade members are connected to form an arrangement; and at least one support member, releasably engageable with the suspended grid ceiling structure and associated with at least one of the blade members to support the plurality of blade members from the suspended ceiling grid structure.

A structure-lining apparatus comprising a plurality of transversely and longitudinally extending panels connectable to a structure and connectable edge-to-edge via complementary connector components on their longitudinally extending edges. Each panel comprises transversely extending edges generally orthogonal to their longitudinally extending edges. Each panel comprises first and second complementary connector components on first and second longitudinally extending edges thereof. The apparatus comprises at least one edge-to-edge connection between a first connector component of a first panel and a second connector component of a second panel wherein a primary male connector component of the second connector component of the second panel is extended into a primary female connector component of the first connector component of the first panel and a secondary male connector component of the first connector component of the first panel is extended into a secondary female connector component of the second connector component of the second panel.
