An energy-efficient future Sustainable lighting

An energy-efficient future When taking a closer look at any lighting solution, you will discover significant energy-saving potential. Innovative, highly efficient LED solutions can make a major contribution to sustainably reducing a building's operating costs. Be it for a school building, an office, or a store – the right lighting is an important lever for efficient building management. The first approach is the use of high-quality LEDs and control gear, and XAL adapts product designs to achieve the highest light output with the lowest possible power consumption. The second approach is...

Sustainable lighting It is about more than efficient LEDs The requirements for sustainable lighting solutions are high and go beyond efficiency, long service life, and high light quality. The demands also concern the materials, which must be recyclable and free of toxic substances. Furthermore, high user comfort and easy maintenance should be considered. Sustainable lighting should save energy and thus costs. The potential of sustainable lighting can therefore only be exploited if it forms one unit with lighting control and modern lighting technology. It is also important to know that the...

“ hat does sustainability mean in the field of W lighting? What are the main influencing factors, which guidelines and certificates support us, and how can sustainable lighting lead to permanent cost savings? We in product development make a significant contribution to the composition of material, highly efficient LEDs, and intelligent sensor technology to provide you with outstanding and energy-saving lighting solutions.” Manuel Feier, Head of Product Management XAL GmbH

Sustainable lighting Framework Due to the massive increase in energy costs and the final phase-out of linear fluorescent lamps on 24 August 2023, it is essential to take a close look at lighting solutions. Increased energy prices do not have to mean ‘lights out’. Switching instead of switching off is the way to go. Retrofitting and sensor technology play a major role here. Did you know … 90 % of energy is consumed during use* When fluorescent lamps are converted to LED luminaires, running costs can be noticeably reduced and energy consumption sustainably lowered. Lighting control and...

Sustainable products Modern lighting technology contributes significantly to sustainability. Inefficient and environmentally harmful light sources have therefore been and are being removed from the European market. Since February 2023, the sales ban for compact fluorescent lamps and circular fluorescent lamps has been in effect, and the ban for linear fluorescent lamps T5 and T8 since August 2023. At the product level in Europe, requirements for energy consumption-related products (EPD – Environmental Product Declaration) are specified within the framework of the Ecodesign Directive....

More well-being, less consumption The figures speak for themselves: More than 75 percent of office lighting is outdated. The energy-saving potential in office buildings is great. In addition to reducing operating costs, however, increasing productivity and creating a ‘feel-good atmosphere’ at the workplace through good lighting is also a major issue. High-quality lighting solutions contribute to improved visual comfort and well-being at the workplace. In combination with intelligent lighting control, the luminaires ensure a pleasant climate and save energy. Integrated sensor technology...

FlexOffice, Messeturm Basel Basel, CH – by FlexOffice (Switzerland) AG with lighting design by Sebastian Godenzi

One meets all FlexOffice Basel, Switzerland The approach to lighting and acoustic planning for the FlexOffice in the Messeturm Basel ran contrary to classic workplace concept planning. FlexOffice was based on a transformative spatial concept where future tenants enjoy enormous flexibility (thanks to modular adaptation of the rooms) while simultaneously saving energy. In addition to the flexible, demand-oriented, resource-saving requirements of a modern workplace, it was important to the owners of FlexOffice to consider the sensual and emotional components. Three lighting components (direct,...

Grandstands at Horse Racetrack Vienna, AT – by Martin Kohlbauer with interior design by Marcel Wanders studio

Tradition meets innovation Grandstands at Horse Racetrack Vienna, Austria The racetrack’s building had been unused for over 70 years but was transformed into an office of the future during its three years of renovation. During the revitalisation, the ‘Activity-Based Working’ model for modern working was applied. For the implementation of this concept, the BETO floor lamp was customised and equipped with advanced sensor technology. The sensors measure light intensity, noise level, air quality, presence, and temperature. BETO with IoT Sensor The information BETO collects is sent to a cloud...

“ he innovation is that a vast amount of T sensor technology and intelligence has been integrated almost invisibly into a stylish office luminaire, with the data completely open to access by the customer's existing systems.” Christopher Grießler, Department Head Digital Solutions XAL GmbH Christopher Grießler Department Head Digital Solutions XAL G
