As a result, the user never has a completely dark area in their field of vision: all adjacent, visible aisles are illuminated with orientation light. In all unused areas, the light is automatically switched off and energy is saved. All the different systems are controlled by a server located at each site and combined with a higher-level server installed in the administration building. This allows the greatest possible degree of fail-safety through the use of several controllers as well as a maximum degree of control at the same time, and this is locationindependent. The user only needs an internet-capable end device (smartphone, tablet, notebook) with a pre-installed browser and a secure connection. The German manufacturer insists the ‘path to climate neutrality is through building automation solutions’ which is an ‘investment in the future’. Paul Jones, Sales Director of UK & Ireland at B.E.G, also says these type of systems are vital to the world in achieving its ‘climate goals’. The UK currently aims to reach Net Zero by 2050. Mr Jones said: “The B.E.G. HQ in Lindlar is a fantastic example of how using building automation systems can turn buildings into highly energy efficient spaces. Building automation also makes the use of a building a lot more flexible as control can take place digitally. Changes can be implemented quickly and costeffectively with less effort. “In any building in which sensors perceive their environment, energy can be saved in areas where no use takes place. In addition, weather data and existing lighting conditions can be incorporated to prevent energy waste. The savings also mean an increase in comfort for the building user, because there is no need to worry about functionalities such as air conditioning, lighting, or security as everything runs automatically. “Since renewable energies are not sufficient to satisfy the current hunger for energy, the NetX B.E.G. technology installed at Lindlar can be key to the world achieving its climate goals.”
