Constellation Building, Schiphol
The NetherlandsThe perfect office renovation lighting solution
Located between Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and the Het Amsterdamse Bos is Schiphol’s Constellation Building office complex. The impressive architecture, bright office spaces and handy facilities in the area make it such a special building. A hub for creativity and innovation, this intelligent office space was commissioned by WinLed. With a strong relationship between WinLed and Helvar Netherlands (Lighting Controls BV), the team successfully implemented the Helvar ActiveAhead wireless lighting management system across various spaces in the building.
Together with WinLed, the team supplied our Fast-Fit Space Solution (the Helvar ActiveAhead 5640 Node Multisensor) to provide versatile control for every space in the building. A specifically pre-configured 5640 solution was used, offering out of the box functionality and true plug-and-play, making it incredibly easy to install.
Not only do all DALI luminaires connect directly to the 5640 Node Multisensor, but dimmers and relays can also be integrated to easily control non-DALI lighting. Furthermore, the system is alarm-ready – linking to the building’s alarm via an input unit or Node Link – and offers flexible local control in any room using the 185W wireless control panel alongside the ActiveAhead mobile app.
The ActiveAhead Node Advanced presents an ideal lighting solution for renovation projects such as Constellation due to its wireless connectivity, scalability, and adaptive technology. Existing cabling has been maintained and new, and custom-made fixtures have been installed. Wireless communication eliminates the need for extensive rewiring, while its scalability allows for easy adjustments to changing space requirements. The system’s adaptive lighting technology ensures optimal lighting conditions without manual adjustments, contributing to energy efficiency.
