NUS Lighting Solutions

1. Project Overview & Lighting Design

• Interior Lighting: The office features Philips LED lighting throughout, with a total of 784 fully addressable light points.

• System Performance: The installation achieves an electrical load of only 5.9W/m² and includes automated links to daylight and occupancy sensors.

• Technical Control: The lighting is managed via Dynalite Networked Controls, which allow for fine-tuning based on building usage.

2. The "Pay Per Lux" Model

• Service-Based Procurement: NUS transitioned from owning lighting equipment to a "cradle-to-cradle" rental scheme where they pay for light as a service.

• Contractual Terms: Philips maintains responsibility for lighting performance over a 15-year period, including preventative maintenance and annual health checks.

• Future-Proofing: The contract ensures that NUS benefits from the latest LED technologies through future replacements during the 15-year term.
