Case Study: Office

The Post Vancouver

British Columbia, Canada

Background

Located in Vancouver’s busy Crosstown neighborhood, The Post building occupies a full city block. It was built in the 1950s to serve as the Main Post Office. Today, it’s a Vancouver icon, historic landmark, and a vibrant multi-use building.

Energy savings
Cost savings
Connectivity to the building management platform with BACnet

Challenge

The customer wanted a centralized lighting control system that gave building management more control over the building’s lighting and, as a result, generate energy and cost savings. The request was for a new lighting control system that was:

Open protocol
Capable of communicating BACnet into the overarching single pane of glass building management platform
Able to provide additional services, such as people counting, to building tenants
Ready with OEM options for sensors and API to integrate the data collected into another software to do the actual people counting

Solution

The customer had used Cooper Lighting Solutions’ WaveLinx Pro Wireless system in previous projects and had great success with it so, not surprisingly, for this project they selected the proven winner along with additional Cooper Lighting Solutions products:

WaveLinx Pro Wireless is a connected, scalable, and smart digital lighting system
Trellix Platform leverages the data collected by your sensors and delivers meaningful, actionable insights
WaveLinx Pro offers all the functions to meet applications from a floor to a complex

Shopping mall controlled by smart IoT lighting.
