we were certain about one thing: when you enter, you need to feel immediately at home."
- Dennis Kerkhof, Real Estate Development Project Manager at ’thuis
In the first planning phase for the new building, the steering committee was not convinced about LED lighting. They thought it gave off an unpleasant cold light, and that we would need more light fittings than with conventional lighting solutions.
"So we had actually already written off LED lighting," explained Kerkhof. "That is, until we were given a tour of the Lighting Application Centre (LAC) at Signify. We saw office lighting that we really liked. No one realized that it was actually LED lighting. We were completely surprised and did a complete turnaround."
The fact that PowerBalance LED luminaires are now part of an Inteco climate-controlled ceiling is all to do with the apartments above the building, underfloor heating was not an option. This ceiling ensures optimal heating and cooling. And because our team and Inteco have been working together for years now, LED light fittings such as the PowerBalance can be integrated perfectly alongside conventional light fittings.
Thanks to daylight control and presence-sensing devices, this highly energy-smart LED solution saves even more energy. " There is a friendly atmosphere now, and thanks to the pleasant lighting, everyone feels immediately at home", said Kerkhof.
