Apartment buildings

In a residential building, the lighting in common areas must be a dependable, high-performance system. The primary goals are ensuring resident safety and achieving maximum energy efficiency to keep operational costs low. The journey starts at the entrance, where clear, reliable lighting is crucial for secure access and orientation for all residents and visitors. In corridors, stairwells, and parking garages, safety is a 24/7 requirement. This is where smart lighting provides immense value. By using motion sensors, light is delivered instantly when a space is occupied and automatically dimmed or turned off when empty. This "light on demand" approach guarantees safety for residents without wasting energy, which is a significant benefit for building management. At SG Armaturen, we focus on providing complete lighting systems that are robust, cost-effective, and easy to manage. We blend durable LED technology with intelligent smart controls (SG Connect and Tunable White) to deliver solutions that increase safety and significantly lower a building's energy consumption.

Tips for apartment building projects
  • Tips #1

    Automate for efficiency and safety

    Use motion sensors in all transitional spaces like corridors, stairwells, and garages. This ensures light is always on when needed for safety and automatically saves energy when areas are unoccupied.

  • Tips #2

    Choose robust, low-maintenance fixtures

    In high-traffic common areas, durability is key. Select fixtures with high impact ratings and long-life LEDs to drastically reduce the need for repairs and replacements, saving on maintenance costs over time.

  • Tips #3

    Ensure clear and even illumination

    Avoid dark spots and harsh glare. Plan for uniform light distribution in all common areas, especially at entrances, mail areas, and near elevators. This improves visibility and enhances the feeling of security for all residents.

  • Tips #4

    Light the perimeter effectively

    Use durable, weather-proof fixtures to light up building exteriors, walkways, and parking areas. A well-lit perimeter is a key element of a property's overall safety and security strategy.
