    Customer challenge

     

    The Edge is an innovative, 40,000 m2, multi-tenant office building in the Zuidas business district in Amsterdam. The main design goal was to create an intuitive, comfortable, and productive environment for employees that could serve as inspiration for sustainable building designs around the world.

    The right lighting

     

    OVG and Deloitte worked closely with Philips Lighting who delivered a connected lighting system that uses cutting-edge technologies to enhance the flexibility of the open-plan office.

    It not only allows employees to personalize the lighting and temperature at their workspaces using a smartphone app, but it also provides building managers with realtime data on operations and activities. This data allows facility managers to maximize operational efficiency as well as reduce the building’s CO2 footprint.

    The system uses nearly 6,500 connected LED luminaires to create a ‘digital ceiling’ in the building’s 15 stories. With integrated sensors in 3,000 of these luminaires that work with Philips Envision lighting management software, the system captures, stores, shares and distributes information throughout the illuminated space.

    Facility managers use the software to visualize and analyze this data, track energy consumption and streamline maintenance operations.
