Lighting Environments
The Challenge
Key requirements included:
- Ambient and functional lighting to support
staff in their day-to-day activities. - The flexibility to cater for mixed-use spaces.
An open-protocol system that could easily
integrate with AV, HVAC, blinds, as well as - Elevated Environments, the proprietary app
from Lighting Environments’ sister company. - Measures to enhance sustainability, including
occupancy detection, dimming, scheduling,
and daylight harvesting.
The Solution
Beautiful and flexible
Philips Dynalite’s enhanced DALI capabilities allow for easy zoning changes when a room is repurposed. A button-press is all it takes to transform the office space to an after-hours entertaining area.
Similarly, divisions between private meeting rooms and open workspace can be changed easily and efficiently to cater for office growth or special events.
The result is a dynamic space that can be tailored to suit the needs of Lighting Environments’ workforce.
Smart and sustainable
A series of clever integrations have streamlined the experience of occupants and reduced energy consumption.
Building systems such as HVAC are linked with presence detection and lighting schedules to maximize energy efficiency and ensure those amenities are only on when required.
Daylight harvesting has been utilized to further improve sustainability, by reducing artificial light levels in areas with exposure to natural daylight.
Elevated Environments, the proprietary app developed by Lighting Environments’ sister company, Environments, has also been integrated with the Dynalite System, allowing users to interact with the office’s lighting from anywhere.
“Dynalite’s products have helped us create an office space that is comfortable and customizable to our employee and office life needs, and also a stunning example for our customers as we work with them to design their own perfect spaces.”
