Since most costs occur during the operational phase, lighting must be managed like any other critical building system.<\/p>\n<p>The Tridonic Building Asset360 approach focuses on treating luminaires as intelligent assets that provide data on health, performance and energy usage. By integrating this data with BMS and third-party systems, users gain incomparable asset management and energy-efficient insights across the full lifecycle of their lighting infrastructure, supporting more transparent and informed decision-making.<\/p>\n<p>This approach underpins a shift towards sustainable, data-backed building management, enabling organisations to optimise performance, reduce operational risk and ensure lighting assets continue to deliver value throughout their lifecycle.<\/p>\n<p>As the newly appointed PS&amp;S Sales Manager, James Huntington will pick up the baton from Simon and oversee the strategic direction of the Projects, Solutions, and Services division for Tridonic UK.<\/p>\n<p>In his new capacity as Major Projects &amp; Digital Services Manager, Simon Blazey will leverage his extensive expertise to lead complex, large-scale projects and establish a robust digital services presence within Tridonic\u2019s growing end-user portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>Richard Strode, Managing Director, Tridonic UK, commented, \u201cThese strategic role changes will further build upon the strong foundations Simon and James have already established with the wider team.<\/p>\n<p>By continuing to focus on our Building Asset 360 platform and digital services, we are positioning ourselves to meet the ever-increasing demand for data-driven building intelligence on projects across the UK. These leadership moves ensure we have the expertise in place to support our clients through their digital transformation journeys and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The organisational transformation is essential to leverage further on the success we have seen through the Building Asset 360 approach as the industry continues to shift toward sustainable, data-backed building management.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Tridonic UK, a global leader in lighting technology and smart building solutions, today announced strategic leadership changes designed to enhance its digital service footprint and expand its reach into the data-driven solutions market.
