In this case study we discover how the partnership between Synergy Creativ and Scenariio has helped deliver an advanced smart building solution for Europe’s largest producer of iron ore.
Synergy Creativ, a leader in smart lighting solutions, in partnership with specialist smart technology provider Scenariio, has successfully completed a cutting-edge smart building project for LKAB, Europe’s largest iron ore producer, based in Derby.
The project focused on enhancing employee well-being while achieving significant energy efficiency, aligning with LKAB’s sustainability goals.
The challenge: a sustainable, wellbeing-centred workspace
LKAB set out to transform its office environment into a space that promotes comfort, flexibility, and collaboration, all while reflecting the firm’s commitment to sustainability. The goal was to create an inviting atmosphere where employees would enjoy spending time, fostering greater engagement and teamwork. Sustainability was a key priority throughout the project. From selecting zero carbon flooring to implementing energy-efficient systems, LKAB was determined to minimise environmental impact while creating a more efficient and pleasant workspace for both employees and visitors.
The solution: smart lighting and integrated building technology
To achieve these objectives, LKAB partnered with Synergy Creativ and Scenariio to deploy an innovative smart lighting system that integrates seamlessly with the building’s data network.
Synergy Creativ provided its advanced smart power over ethernet lighting, chosen for its compatibility with Scenariio’s Smartengine technology, ensuring optimal performance and energy efficiency.
The smart lighting system was designed to maintain ideal lux levels throughout the day, enhancing productivity across the workspace.
Scenariio’s Smartengine technology enabled the integration of smart sensors in meeting rooms and communal areas, allowing lights to automatically adjust based on occupancy.
This intelligent use of lighting creates a more comfortable working environment while significantly reducing energy consumption and contributing to LKAB’s carbon footprint reduction.
In addition to the lighting, all emergency and illuminated emergency exit signs were integrated into the smart system, featuring self-testing capabilities for enhanced safety.
The system’s sensor data and graphical dashboards, powered by Scenariio, provide LKAB with valuable insights into space utilisation, enabling more informed decisions about office layout and operations.
The results: a remarkable 90% energy reduction
The collaboration between Synergy Creativ and Scenariio resulted in a significant achievement: a 90% reduction in energy consumption at LKAB’s office.
This project not only underscores the effectiveness of Synergy Creativ’s smart lighting solutions but also highlights Scenariio’s expertise in delivering integrated smart technology that supports both workplace efficiency and environmental sustainability.
