Capital gains
Zumtobel has provided a fresh lighting solution for Capital One at its European headquarters at Trent House, Nottingham.
The financial services giant recently underwent a major remodelling project to create a stimulating and responsive working environment and took a strategic leap to refurbish its first and second floors, embarking on a journey towards modernisation and efficiency. Partnering with Zumtobel, a trusted name in lighting solutions, the project aimed to breathe new life into its 20-year-old Zumtobel TECTON System.
The transition to the new lighting solution capitalised on the latest LED technology and controls, not only delivering a modern aesthetic but achieving 42% energy savings. The adaptability and compatibility of the TECTON system were pivotal in the project’s success.
The old lighting system was upgraded to the latest iteration of Zumtobel’s TECTON range. The new system, featuring ECOOS Slim, a contemporary office luminaire, integrated cutting-edge technology for enhanced workplace comfort. While TECTON provided flexibility in lighting design, ECOOS employed patented Curved Wave Guide light coupling and MPO-plus micro-pyramidal optic, ensuring precise light emission for computer screen applications.
The lighting upgrade also incorporated the LITECOM next-generation building controls, allowing for adaptability as Capital One grows. The potential to migrate to LITECOM Infinity, accommodating up to 2,500 addresses, ensures scalability and future flexibility.
