Lighting the Future of Workspaces

Inside World’s largest bank’s Smart Office Transformation in Bangalore

At Bangalore’s Embassy Tech Village, a new workplace is redefining how large corporate campuses think about comfort, energy performance, and human experience. Spread across 1.12 million square feet, This latest facility is housed in a USGBC Gold-certified LEED development — one built to embrace natural light, digital intelligence, and sustainable automation at scale.

More than a workplace, the campus reflects a philosophy:
Technology should disappear into the background, while silently elevating everyday life.

A Workspace Shaped by Light, Behaviour and Intelligence

With expansive glass façades overlooking the city, the design naturally invited abundant daylight. However, to leverage this benefit without compromising comfort, the project demanded a next-generation control framework.

The core challenge?
To build an environment that:

• Harvests sunlight,
• Minimizes glare,
• Drives HVAC efficiency,
• Adapts to movement,
• Supports future changes

— all while delivering effortless user experience.

This scale of ambition required a platform capable of thinking beyond switches, sensors, and circuits.

The Answer: Lutron Integrated Lighting Management System

To meet these high expectations, the client deployed the Lutron Lighting Management System (LMS), supported with global commercial control standards tailored for large-scale workspace environments. The approach unified shading, lighting, HVAC intelligence, wireless control and data dashboards under a single, responsive brain.

Daylight Harvesting That Works Like Nature

Daylight sensors and DALI-based luminaires continually modulate brightness based on available sunlight — delivering just the right illumination at all times while reducing energy use.

Solar-Adaptive Shades — Comfort without Compromise

Motorized blinds automatically track the sun, lowering or lifting based on glare levels and heat gain. With manual override options, occupants maintain control when needed.

Automation That Reacts to People

Across office floors, lights turn off automatically after five minutes of inactivity — a simple yet powerful energy saver.

HVAC Efficiency Reinvented

Traditionally, VAV dampers may take 10–20 minutes to respond to vacancy.
Here, occupancy-based signaling changes airflow instantly, dramatically curbing cooling energy wastage.

A Brain Behind It All

With Quantum Vue, the facilities team monitors energy patterns, configures controls and resolves issues proactively — eliminating dependency on external support for everyday adjustments.

Built Room-by-Room, Scene-by-Scene

The system isn’t just intelligent — it’s contextual.

• Workstations respond to daylight.
• Meeting rooms switch moods using pre-programmed lighting scenes.
• Conference rooms blend dimming logic with AV integration.
• Reception and social hubs enjoy consistent, glare-free illumination.
• Along the façade, blinds choreograph their motion with sunlight.

Every space functions with purpose.

Where IDEAA-Z Automation Made the Difference

Behind this seamless automation experience lies the expertise of IDEAA-Z Automation, whose engineering and integration capabilities stitched technology into the built environment. From detailed design coordination and programming to on-site commissioning and system validation, IDEAA-Z ensured that every sensor, shade, luminaire, and controller performed in harmony. Their collaboration with consultants, Client teams, and OEM partners helped translate design intent into reliable, real-world performance — ensuring that technology became an invisible enabler, not an operational burden.

The Outcome: A Workplace That Thinks

With automation woven across lighting, shading, HVAC, and analytics, the campus now offers:

• Increased visual comfort
• Reduced glare
• Lower lighting and cooling energy use
• Wireless scalability for workspace changes

Above all, it delivers a better everyday experience — one where people feel the difference without having to operate the technology.

How Lutron Made the Difference

With more than 65 years of innovation, Lutron’s unmatched technical expertise, reliability, and control ecosystem aligned perfectly with Clients’s vision — delivering performance at scale, without complexity for end-users.

Human-Centric Lighting for the Modern Enterprise

In this Bangalore campus, lighting and automation aren’t features — they are enablers of wellbeing, efficiency, and strategic design.

As corporates rethink workplace performance, this global financial institution showcases what an intelligent office can become:
A space that observes, responds, protects, and inspires — quietly, sustainably, and beautifully.
