„Kureck“ – Smart Lighting for Hessian State Chancellery
Situation
Wiesbaden‘s Palais am Kureck, a historic
office building dating from 1907 in the city
center has been renovated and extended
to the highest quality. This has resulted in
the restoration of an architectural highlight
in Wiesbaden‘s city center.
The revitalization of the five-storey old
building, which was fitted with high-quality
tenant fit-outs required a comprehensive
refurbishment with complete
gutting, demolition, and new construction
of the fourth floor and the improvement of
the foundation. Following demolition and
renovation, the new building now has a
total of around 4,700 square meters of
office space spread over five expansive
floors with ceiling heights of up to 3.50m –
4.00m and an exclusive interior design.
After three years of construction, the tenants, including the Hessian State
Chancellery was able to move into their
new premises in Taunusstrasse on time.
Requirements
Intelligent lighting was the prerequisite for
the modernized premises, offering tenants
maximum comfort and energy savings.
The lighting had to be designed to be
active only when people are present.
Automated daylight simulation (Human
Centric Lighting) was added to promote
the well-being and performance of the
users.
Solution
This pilot project was the very first time,
the ubisys Gateway G1 enabled smart
lighting control in conjunction with the
Philips EasyAir SNS300 sensors.
Together with SILTaS GmbH, a solution
provider for lighting installations, the
customer’s requirements were determined
and implemented accordingly by ubisys.
Automated lighting control
Utilizing the ‚reports‘ transmitted by the
EasyAir sensors, detailing detected movement
and brightness, and leveraging the
robust JavaScript engine of the ubisys G1,
a tailor-made JavaScript script was crafted.
This script encompasses predefined
switch-on light levels, standby levels, and
transition times. Moreover, it incorporates
daylight-dependent controls (HCL),
meticulously customized for each zone
(room).
To further enhance user control, Philips
Hue dimmer switches were seamlessly
integrated into the gateway. This allows
for manual adjustments to the automation
settings, providing users with temporary
influence over the system.
