General information
- Short Summary
-
Lighting accounts for up to 30% of energy costs in commercial buildings. With the Swiss scale up’s plug-and-play lighting system, you can reduce costs in no time thanks to retrofitting. Leave the automatic regulation of light intensity and duration to the new solution and save up to 90% energy.
Seeking B2B partners that own commercial buildings, operate in the real-estate sector or energy consultants. Agreement sought: Commercial agreement with technical assistance. - Full Description
-
Background:
Lighting accounts for up to 30% of energy costs in commercial buildings. With the increase in sustainability regulations and the rise in energy prices, investing in energy-efficient technologies offers companies both ecological and economic advantages.
Thanks to replacing over 150,000 inefficient light sources until now, the company has saved energy equivalent to powering 22,000 average households. B2B partners that installed the lighting system, saved EUR 12.5 million.
Additionally by providing data about the whole building, the company is aiming to save energy beyond lighting.
Cost-effective refurbishment:
With the Swiss company’s plug-and-play lighting system, it’s possible to reduce costs in no time at all thanks to retrofitting. Since all control and sensor components are integrated, the light sources can be easily plugged into existing fixtures. This means that expensive wiring for external motion or presence sensors is not necessary.
Automatic regulation:
Leave the automatic regulation of light intensity and duration to the company’s lighting solution, save up to 90% energy in comparison to conventional lighting and up to 80% in comparison to LED.
The light is adjusted locally and precisely to actual requirements using smart algorithms and integrated sensors, thereby saving between 60-80% energy and costs compared to other LED-solutions. Not only does each light source detect presence and motion, but there is also daylight control integrated into each light source.
Comfort:
Despite those large savings, the end user’s comfort and safety feeling is not impacted thanks to swarm intelligence. Using intelligent algorithms and integrated “computers”, the luminaires communicate wirelessly with each other. Information is used in real time to automatically and proactively regulate light intensity and duration, allowing the light to surround a person’s every step like a swarm. True swarm intelligence combines highly efficient lighting with an equally high level of comfort, safety, flexible settings and customised functions.
Not only is the network system easy to install, it is also simple and fast to configure the settings. And via remote access, every light source is monitored and adapted to your changing requirements at any time.
Data-driven:
The IoT (Internet of Things) lighting solution collects real-time data that is easily analysed to further optimise the settings. But not only do the light sources collect data themselves, but they also form a network throughout the whole building and make it easy to integrate other sensors, such as CO2 or humidity sensors.
Additionally, the collected data can made available to other partners through API (Application Programming Interface). In such, the comprehensive sensor data can be used to optimise your whole building’s operations.
Project services:
By taking over the entire project management, the scaleup makes it easy for customers to save energy. From initial consultations, going on-site and finding the best upgrade, and organising local subsidies, up to conducting energy calculations, organising the electrician and then providing the client with ongoing optimisations – clients profit from a true all-in-one solution.
Partners & cooperation:
To reach the company goal of inspiring the lighting sector and effectively save as much energy as a power plant produces, they seek for partners that either want to implement the system or help distribute it:
- The company seeks for B2B partners that own commercial buildings and looks to reduce their CO2 emissions and energy costs to get into a commercial agreement with technical assistance.
- The company is also open to work with sustainability and energy consultancies that look for new technologies that not only save energy, but also provide a data-base for optimizations of the whole building to get into a commercial agreement with technical assistance. - Advantages and Innovations
-
The intelligent lighting system saves on average 90% energy in comparison to conventional lighting solutions and between 60-80% in comparison to LED-systems. Thanks to these high energy savings, the lighting system is amortised after 2-3 years on average.
Despite those high energy savings, using ‘Swarm Intelligence’, the lighting solution provides a high level of comfort and safety feelings to users. Additionally, the system is updated with the latest functions and improvements throughout its entire life cycle – completely wirelessly and automatically. - Stage of Development
