From light to logic: How networked lighting shapes the future of buildings
Contemporary office buildings face the challenge of combining aesthetics, functionality and sustainability in equal measure. In addition to striking architecture and high energy efficiency, the smart integration of building technology is becoming the focus - an indispensable element in meeting growing expectations of flexibility and sustainability." With BlueRange, lighting will become a central component of intelligent and future-oriented projects such as "Mergenthaler" in Eschborn and "Digital Port" in Hamburg, which illustrate how this technology is setting new standards in office architecture.
Innovative wireless technology for maximum planning freedom
BlueRange is based on Bluetooth® Low Energy and replaces or reduces conventional data cabling in buildings. This opens up new design freedom for architects, as complex cable routes are no longer required. Only the power supply is required, which significantly reduces both installation costs and complexity. This wireless solution is particularly suitable for dynamic office environments that need to respond flexibly to changing requirements.
Design meets function: Decentralized intelligence and sensor integration
Another advantage: luminaires equipped with BlueRange technology have decentralized control intelligence, making additional control components such as actuators or controllers superfluous. Particularly interesting is the possibility of equipping luminaires with integrated multi-sensor technology. This means that parameters such as temperature, humidity or CO2 levels can be recorded directly - without separate sensors that would visually impair ceilings or walls. The result is a clear, minimalist room design that meets the highest architectural standards. For real estate developers, this not only offers design advantages, but also increased functionality. Thanks to the sensor-based control, conventional control elements can be reduced or completely eliminated. This reduces system complexity and minimizes maintenance effort - an added value for sustainable and future-oriented construction projects.
Efficient solutions for revitalization projects
In revitalization projects, laying new data lines often represents a major challenge. This is where BlueRange shows its strengths: The wireless technology uses existing infrastructure and makes complex structural interventions unnecessary. This not only saves resources, but also enables gradual digitization - ideal for projects that are implemented in several expansion phases.
Data-based building management: Real-time analyses for space optimization
The sensors integrated into the lights enable real-time analyses, the data from which can be stored and evaluated centrally. For example, workplace utilization can be optimized or operating costs can be reduced through more precise heating and ventilation control. This represents a decisive added value for real estate developers who want to implement economical and smart building concepts.
Strong alliances with leading manufacturers
BlueRange impresses with partnerships with renowned lighting manufacturers such as Waldmann, XAL, Artemide and Regent. These collaborations offer architects, planners and building developers access to a diverse portfolio of high-quality design solutions that can be seamlessly integrated into sophisticated architectural concepts. In addition, BlueRange-compatible components for HVAC systems (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) and sensors are available. This creates holistic and scalable smart building concepts with future-oriented functionality.
Digital pioneers
Projects such as the ‘grasblau’ office building by CA Immo or the award-winning ‘ROCKYWOOD’ by PRIMUS developments impressively demonstrate the versatile use of BlueRange. Architectural excellence meets future-oriented technologies that focus on sustainability and efficiency. The wireless network ensures maximum security by encrypting all data streams. Such reference projects speak for themselves - and provide inspiration for further construction projects with digital requirements.
Technology as a driving force for architecture
BlueRange is much more than a technical solution - it forms the basis for future-proof smart building concepts. Thanks to its ability to be updated, the digital infrastructure of a building remains flexible and adaptable in the long term. For architects, BlueRange not only offers design freedom, but also the opportunity to seamlessly integrate intelligent components into sophisticated design concepts. Real estate developers benefit from support in complying with GEG and ESG requirements as well as the opportunity to make building operations sustainable and efficient through data-based optimization.
