The value of smart lighting
There is no quick fix for creating a more sustainable society. However, smart lighting offers multiple benefits for people, business and the environment, helping you address sustainability challenges in a balanced, effective and measurable way. Make the most out of it.
Make people thrive
With smart lighting you will benefit from human-centred solutions that enhance health and productivity.
MAKE BUSINESS GROW
With smart lighting you will benefit from business advantages and more effective facility management.
MAKE LESS IMPACT
With smart lighting you will benefit from environmental initiatives that boost your sustainability efforts.
Make people thrive
With smart lighting, you can create a healthy and inspiring workplace that can easily adapt to individual needs and various occasions. Use the flexibility of smart lighting to build your brand and enhance your property’s attractiveness.
Human Centric Lighting
Ergonomic workplace
Strong brand
Smart lighting helps the people working in your premises stay healthier and happier. By using data collected from daylight sensors and presence detectors you can create a lighting environment inspired by the natural light that supports people’s visual, biological and emotional needs. Smart lighting solutions can boost mood and focus by providing the right light conditions for different activities: cold light in the morning to increase energy levels and warm light in the evening to create a relaxing atmosphere. This is Human Centric lighting and it is an effective way to promote social sustainability within your operations.
Smart lighting can improve the overall working conditions in your facility, giving individuals the opportunity to tune the intensity and colour of light according to their own preferences, needs and tasks. This enhances visual comfort and reduces eye strain, making their workday easier, healthier and more productive. Added values that come without inconvenience to the property owner, as programming is app-based, avoiding costly and disruptive commissioning.
Smart lighting facilitates the creation of different lighting scenes to set the right mood for various purposes and situations. Light evokes emotions: it can make us feel happy, energetic, or calm depending on its composition. By adjusting light levels and colour temperatures you can create the perfect ambience for any occasion. Whether it’s about enhancing an interior or brand, promoting a collaborative environment or increasing sales in a commercial setting, smart lighting makes it happen.
Smart lighting makes everyday life smoother for employees and residents. You can link smart lighting to other services such as finding, booking and navigating to conference and meeting rooms. Even simple solutions with daylight and motion sensors make a significant difference for guests, as lighting automatically adjusts to optimal levels. The presence data collected can provide facility management with insights into their space utilisation when they need to reconfigure working spaces or offer flexible spaces.
Make business grow
With smart lighting, you can streamline facility management, cut energy costs and implement flexible solutions to meet the challenges of renovations and changing organisations. Use the ingenuity of smart lighting to create adaptable properties that increase in value.
Effective facility management
Safe Investment
Profitable synergies
Smart lighting offers new insights into property usage. While optimising lighting for people, it collects valuable data that supports strategic decisions about your investments and facility management – from energy consumption to facility utilisation. It will tell you everything you need to know about which parts of the building being used and when. An overview of the energy performance for the day, week, or zones will help you trim the details in order to optimize energy consumption and reduce waste. Additionally, smart lighting data contribute to prevent operational disturbances by informing about operating hours and need of repairs or maintenance.
Smart lighting helps you navigate an ever-changing reality. Whether addressing your organisation’s needs or a tenant’s requirements, flexible lighting solutions facilitate the constant reinvention and rebuilding of premises. Smart lighting can easily be reconfigured and adapted without costly rewiring or downtime. When the customer would like some change, the lighting adjusts accordingly. If you modify the layout, such as moving walls, the system automatically adjusts its coverage since the sensor's signals don't pass through walls.
Smart lighting is an active choice for sustainable property development, which can increase the value of your building. It can be integrated with the building’s automation system and offers a platform adaptable to new technologies, de-risking the investment. Smart lighting lowers your energy bills and enables efficient facility management by allowing easy installation and reprogramming of lighting solutions as required.
Smart lighting will provide you a cloud-based, open, and flexible infrastructure that can be easily controlled and reprogrammed. By using the infrastructure of luminaires with sensors, you can cover every inch of the building. The system’s open Application Program Interface (API) allows for integration with other applications. This way, smart lighting becomes a natural part of the automated backbone of your building, enabling streamlined functions that create environmental and economic sustainability while meeting directives and building certifications. As the smart lighting system is cloud based you can rely on operational reliability while applying the latest security standards.
Make less impact
With smart lighting, you contribute to global sustainability efforts by focusing on climate and greenhouse gas emissions. It drastically reduces energy consumption, enables circularity and provides the perfect tool to set, monitor, and achieve sustainability targets and compliance.
Solutions for Scope 2
Preparing for EPDB
Facilitates building standards
By ensuring that no light and no energy are wasted, smart lighting will help you to cut the energy consumption by up to 70 percent and lower the greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the energy consumption of your own operations (Scope 2). Transparent, detailed data also supports your regulatory compliance and the reporting of sustainability metrics and will help you to track performance progress.
Smart lighting prepares for the European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) that expects each member state to finalise their national guidelines by May 29, 2026. With the purpose to reduce the average energy use of buildings, all non-residential buildings are required to collect data on energy performance, including lighting. Whether your goal is to reduce energy consumption in existing buildings or develop new zero-emission structures, smart lighting is an efficient tool to achieve your objectives.
Smart lighting is the go-to solution for property developers aiming to meet sustainability compliance standards. Whether pursuing LEED, BREEAM, WELL or other building certification systems, smart lighting will help you monitor and reduce energy consumption to desired levels. The flexibility that comes with a smart lighting solution will support sustainable building automation strategies now and in the future.
Smart lighting is an invaluable tool when developing your circular business model. By letting you know for how long your luminaires have been used or when repairs and maintenance are needed, smart lighting fixtures can last longer – and may even get reused. Renovation can be a part of your circular approach.
