GACS is making smart building management increasingly important. Large utility buildings not only need to be energy-efficient, but must also be capable of monitoring and controlling installations and, where possible, automatically optimising them. But how do you translate these requirements into practice? Staal-Kade in Amsterdam is a great example.
The distinctive building on the Schinkel has been transformed into a modern, fully electric office building covering approximately 10,000 m². With a BREEAM Outstanding certification and an A++++ energy label, sustainability is at the heart of the building. Smart technology also enables the building to respond to its actual use.
Mymesh provides a wireless and scalable infrastructure for lighting, sensors and building controls, among other applications. This enables different installations to work together and provides real-time insight into the building’s performance.
These insights make it possible to control installations more intelligently, optimise energy consumption and improve comfort for users. Staal-Kade demonstrates that GACS does not have to be seen merely as a legal requirement, but can also provide an opportunity to make buildings smarter, more efficient and future-proof.
With Mymesh, a flexible foundation is created that not only meets today’s requirements but can also grow with the needs of tomorrow.
This article draws on information from an earlier publication about Staal-Kade, which describes the application of smart building technology and Mymesh.
