Economical and intuitive lighting control

Headquarters Google – Brussels (BE)

For its Brussels office, technology giant Google was looking for an intuitive and easy to program lighting control system. B.E.G. Belgium was able to meet all requirements with the B.E.G. DALI-LINK system, which can be programmed via smartphone or tablet.

The Belgian headquarters of Google occupies four of the five floors of an office complex in the heart of Brussels. The Internet giant had clear guidelines for the lighting control system: Google wanted an intuitive lighting control system that they could easily program themselves. Google also wanted the system not to be connectable to the network to protect the system from external access. The choice fell on the innovative stand-alone system B.E.G. DALI-LINK. In total, B.E.G. Belgium installed 27 separate DALI-LINK modules.

The integrated daylight-dependent lighting control promotes the energy efficiency of the B.E.G. DALI- LINK system: the light intensity in the room should be 500 lux at all times. If a lot of sunlight shines through the windows during the day, the lighting is automatically dimmed to reach the 500 lux level. At the request of the engineering office, the system should also be equipped with a manual activation option for the occupancy detectors. That means that the various islands in the office landscapes are equipped with a button for switching the occupancy detector on and off. This ensures additional energy savings.
