Sympholux Delivers Measurable Corporate and Economic Benefits
Smarter and Greener Building with Energy Savings
Sympholux allows customers to optimise energy consumption with its individual lighting control and energy monitoring capability. It can save users as much as 60% on operating and maintenance costs without compromising lighting quality.
With deactivated lights in unused spaces, heat from lighting and loading on the Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system can be kept to a minimum while its daylight harvest feature enables simultaneously balancing light levels and optimising room temperature. The solution can also reduce group re-lamping via enhanced lamp failure reporting and simplify the installation and implementation of flexible, co-operative applications. Through these features, Sympholux enables enterprises to have green buildings and to slash energy costs.
Ultra-effective Operation and Management
With a centralised system brought by Sympholux that consolidates all HVAC, lighting and other needs, enterprises can easily plan, install, use, maintain and change the operation and management of an entire building. The customised lighting control can modify and regroup lighting installations without costly, time-consuming and disruptive knocking down of walls or ripping up and replacing obsolete cabling.
Enhanced Staff Comfort, Morale and Productivity
Sympholux offers individual lighting control capability, thanks to DALI Control, to fit the needs of different customers and create a more comfortable working environment for individual staff. Ultimately, this means higher morale and greater productivity, driven by the better lighting and personal dimming control.
According to a Light Right Consortium research study conducted in Albany, NY, USA in 2005-2007, user comfort increased by 15-20% in offices equipped with better lighting and personal dimming controls, and staff with individual dimming controls were comparatively much more motivated and consistent over time. Hence the customised light control solution hence further helps enterprises to boost staff performance.
Inspiring Aesthetics
Comprising award-winning input units and control terminals combining functionality and aesthetics, Sympholux has new professional and architectural dimmers from C-Bus that enable hotels, retail chains, bars and restaurants, as well as builders, to customise lighting effects and create scenes and moods for different environments.
