Human-centric lighting policies mimicking the daylight curve of the sun (known as the circadian rhythm) have been applied to accommodate shift workers.
Scenariio's Technical Director, George Pritchard said: “Gymshark’s vision and creativity continue to push boundaries ensuring their GSHQ is a unique space that contributes to staff wellbeing and enables better productivity.”
Due to the company’s rapid growth, Scenariio installed 40 human-centric fixtures at GSHQ. Their installation includes a total of over 300 tuneable white light luminaires, and 445 sensors. Gymshark increased the seating capacity, and some departments have switched locations within the building based on the occupancy data gathered from lighting. Using the sensor data, several meeting rooms with low utilisation have since been refreshed or repurposed to encourage more use. Another area of innovation is the tunable light, which has been re-commissioned in the product design area and product room to view the fabrics in different lighting conditions.
It was therefore imperitive that the emergency lighting, integrated seemlessly into the modern, design scheme, while also being aesthetically pleasing. N-Light EC was also used in conjunction with the WTec smart engine system to support this.
Innovative N-Light is an efficient approach to installing, powering and monitoring emergency lighting systems. N-Light EC achieves this by using category cables so that monitoring and testing an emergency lighting system can be completed without the need for additional wiring. N-Light EC is a central component for powering and commissioning emergency lighting systems, specifically designed to be used alongside general lighting that operates on a Smart building platform to create a complete lighting solution.
WTec's smart engine lighting system continues to monitor and report on the building’s environment. Data analytics are used to produce space utilisation reports, integrate with other building management systems, including N-Light and control the light fixtures on a granular level, saving costs and improving efficiency.
The technology will continue to provide Gymshark with the data they will need to plan their other expansion in the coming years.
