Waldmann delivers flexible lighting for German offices
Published: July 2008
Two special variants of Waldmann’s Tycoon free-standing luminaires have provided the solution to combining high-quality energy-efficient lightings with flexible, reconfigurable workspace at Santander Consumer Bank in Mönchengladbach in Germany. The work environment in these new offices is treated as a ‘living environment’ that promotes goal-oriented motivation among the employees. This has been achieved through careful co-ordination of function and aesthetics, with lighting playing a crucial role and needed to blend with the overall design. The workspace is also designed for a high level of flexibility and mobility, with plenty of tailor-made room for team and project work, presentations and conferences. The lighting is therefore needed to give staff control over their individual lighting and be highly adaptable to changing work layouts, while also offering optimum energy efficiency. A total of 900 dimmable, special variants of the direct/indirect Tycoon freestanding luminaires have been installed, all with a special matching base. They provide each member of staff with two adjustable lighting levels on the working plane and are connected to the bus-based building-management system. Lighting can therefore be adjusted by individuals and in zones through the BMS in response to variables such as daylight and occupancy. Energy consumption can also be monitored.
