Global Consulting Company Office in Bengaluru

The Building

Indian arm of a Global Consulting Firm was all set to finalize its large office in Bangalore India. The Banking giant had signed a deal with one of the large Bangalore based builder – Embassy REIT. The building was Embassy tech village which is strategically located on off-outer ring road – Kadubeesanahalli, Bengaluru and offered tastefully designed office space. The building is Grade A USGBC gold certified LEED building and encompasses a total build up area of 0.45 Mn sqft, spread over GF+10 floors.

The Need

The project’s large scale, combined with the desire for welcoming spaces within the overall framework, was a defining challenge for the design team. To make the most of the building’s glass facade and abundant natural light, the need of integrated lighting control with daylight harvesting by drawing natural light deep into the space while mitigating heat gain and glare. Apart from use of standard strategies of lighting control, Motorized blinds are also considered over the peripheral area. The system also needed to easily accommodate changes to layout and programming over time continuing to deliver cutting-edge performance for years to come. Wireless devices which could achieve this were desired.

The Solution

The Commercial Building LMS Controls Standards were prepared to provide performance based minimum guidance about design, installation and maintenance of Lighting controls systems installed to a JPMC Embassy tech village which is controlled by a Lutron’s Lighting Controls System (LCS).

Lutron’s Dali system digitally addressable dimming ballasts communicate with daylight sensors to automatically adjust Dimmable lights in response to available daylight. Occupancy/vacancy sensors and personal controls are installed throughout the space to ensure that lights are not left on when an area is vacant, but tenants still have control over the lights in their space through manual keypad control. Finally, a Lutron Quantum Total Light Management system provides centralized control of all lights, and utilizes Quantum Vue software to evaluate, monitor, and communicate energy use. Apart from Lighting controls, motorized blinds are installed at the peripheral area to avoid excess glare of natural light from entering the space. Hyperion software will monitor the movement of these blinds.

The control strategies are as follows, Most of the strategies are self-explainable. Additionally, strategy of System integration included seamless BTL certified BACnet integration of Lutron’s native BACnet enabled processor with BMS (Building Management System).

Area wise strategy:

Production Areas (Open Office Area):

The entire Workstation area Lighting is designed for Dali Lighting luminaires. When no occupancy is detected for 5 mins through Occupancy sensors, luminaires connected to the respective sensor footprints will be switched off. Luminaires in this area will automatically dim up & down based on the daylight availability through Daylight sensors.


HUDDLE ROOMS, FOCUS ROOMS, BMS ROOMS,UPS ROOM,BATTERY ROOM,PAC ROOM,MER ROOM, COLLAB REPRO AREA, WELLNESS ROOMS/ MULTIPURPOSE ROOM, CONCIERGE ROOM, INTERVIEW ROOMS, INFORMAL ROOMS, WAR ROOM, SECURITY OFFICE, LUGGAGE ROOMS, DNS ROOM, IDF & MDF ROOMS, DISHWASH, MOTHERS ROOM, (CLOSED ROOM & AWAY FROM FACADE):

The area Lighting is designed for Dali Lighting luminaires. When no occupancy is detected for 5 mins through Occupancy sensors, luminaires connected to the respective sensor footprints will be switched off. Luminaires in this area can dimmed up & down based on the Scenes assigned through Wireless keypads.

8 -16 PAX MEETING ROOMS, LARGE CONFERENCE ROOMS, TRAINING ROOMS (CLOSED ROOMS):

The area lighting is designed for Dali Lighting luminaires. When no occupancy is detected for 5mins through Occupancy sensors, luminaires connected to the respective sensor footprints will be switched off. Luminaires in this area can be dimmed up & down based on the Scenes assigned through Wireless keypads.

CAFETERIA, RECEPTION, SECURITY LOBBIES, SOCIAL HUB, MICRO-KITCHEN, FITNESS STUDIO, FM OFFICE, CLINIC, MEDITATION ROOM, MUSIC ROOMS (CLOSED ROOMS):

The area Lighting is designed for Dali Lighting luminaires. When no occupancy is detected for 5mins through Occupancy sensors, luminaires connected to the respective sensor footprints will be switched off. Luminaires in this area can dimmed up & down based on the Scenes assigned through Wireless keypads.

Facade Area:

The peripheral area is with motorized blinds which will detect the amount of sunlight falling in the workspace and it will automatically lower the blinds. Rooms near façade side will have manual keypad control.

Service, Support, and Success

Beyond system design and installation, success depends on getting the right service and support. Lutron’s 65+ years of expertise and commitment to caring for the customer were critical to JPMCs confidence in choosing Lutron for the project.

In addition, with the GUI, the JPMC facilities team are able to monitor, measure and change settings on their own such as reducing the length of time-outs, without having to consult manufacturer. More important, though, is the reaction from the employees. One of the primary reasons for going with LCS is to provide the right environment for his workers. Occupant comfort is paramount to delivering the right environment. Lutron integrated LCS solutions automatically adjust to help create a vibrant, inspiring workspace while saving as much energy as possible.
