Building Torre de Cristal
Madrid, Spain
“Real-time data analysis, accessible via an app or the web, facilitates flexible and efficient management."
Jorge González Cortés, Vice President of Gesternova
Customer challenge
Since it was first constructed, the Torre de Cristal building has been a landmark in Madrid. Located in the Cuatro Torres Business Area, it integrates cutting-edge technological advances, including a bioclimatic glass façade.
When considering a lighting system renovation, the owners wanted the most updated and energy-efficient solution possible, one that would be future-proof and ready to accommodate future technological innovations.
The solution
For Torre de Cristal, Signify specified 500 wireless button panels and 6,800 new Philips PowerBalance LED luminaires, which integrate a multisensor that adapts the lighting based on room occupancy or natural light levels.
The lighting is managed by an advanced, flexible, and scalable Interact connected lighting system. Interact lets building owners and employees regulate, personalize, and adjust light levels according to task. Interact gives building managers an overview of lighting consumption and usage in real time, streamlining and simplifying maintenance.
