New Zealand's Largest Casambi Solution
Casambi technology was chosen based on the benefits from design flexibility, removal of kilometers in control cabling, energy efficiency through daylight harvesting & presence detection and speed of installation (reduced labor).
The overarching focus was to provide the client with a control system with is future focused compared to traditional wired systems that requires unwanted complexity and further client investment to maintain their lighting control system.
With over 3,000 Casambi devices installed within the 12-story building which included luminaires, sensors, switches and gateways to connect each Casambi network for entire building control.
Zones throughout the building are either controlled via switches and/or sensors, to optimize energy efficiency with sensors being programmed for presence at 100% illuminance and then absence at 30% illuminance after 30mins, the dimming between these two illuminance levels are set for 10 minutes to allow a smooth transition and enabling a 70% reduction in energy for unoccupied spaces while increasing the luminaire life.
