Leading lighting controls manufacturer B.E.G. helped ‘transform’ an office facility in the Port of Barcelona by integrating a state-of-the-art lighting control system into a major office refurbishment.
The lighting specialist’s system converted the existing building into a modern, flexible and sustainable workspace that “enhances employee wellbeing, supports adaptable use of space, and maximises energy efficiency”.
The project required a lighting solution that could create distinct moods across a variety of open-plan offices, meeting rooms and collaborative zones. A central control platform allowed lighting to be adjusted without changing the electrical installation. The system automatically regulates output based on daylight and occupancy, ensuring optimal lighting conditions for every activity.
Human Centric Lighting (HCL) zones mimic natural light, enhancing comfort and supporting well-being throughout the day. Users can also configure different lighting scenarios through an intuitive app interface.
Dan Glynn, sales director UK & Ireland for B.E.G., said: “In a project of this scale, it was essential to create a system that improved quality of life for
people working there while also being efficient and sustainable.”
Energy efficiency was also a key consideration for the project, so time-controlled programming and presence detectors ensure spaces are only illuminated when necessary.
Mr Glynn added: “By regulating lighting according to daylight levels, energy consumption is reduced, luminaire life is extended, maintenance costs are lowered, and the building’s carbon footprint is minimised. These measures also support sustainability certification objectives.
“The ZAL Port Service Centre demonstrates the growing role of intelligent lighting control systems in contemporary office design. By combining technical expertise, user comfort, and sustainability, B.E.G.’s state-of-the-art system has transformed the space into a flexible, efficient, and enjoyable environment for employees.”
