Signify, the world leader in lighting, is helping the city of Davos in achieving its sustainability goals as it’s upgrading both Davos’ streetlights as the lighting of the city’s Congress Centre to high-quality energy-efficient LEDs.

In Davos’ streets, Signify and its long-standing partner ELEKTRON have so far replaced 500 of the 1,000 streetlights with energy-efficient LEDs and connected 250 of those to its Interact City cloud-based, wireless connected lighting system, saving 72,300 kWH in energy per year. Interact City enables remote management of the streetlighting infrastructure, including individual and grouped control over the streetlights with just a few clicks, allowing the operator to easily maintain an overview even with a large number of lights. The city plans to complete the installation in five to ten years.
 
During the refurbishment of the Congress Centre, Signify upgraded almost 900 lights, enabling the city, which owns the Congress Centre, to save an additional 50,000 kWh in energy per year. This reduces the Congress Centre’s carbon emissions by 28 tons per year, a reduction of 82%. Signify donated new generations of Philips GreenSpace Accent Projectors, Philips LuxSpace Accent Downlights, Philips GreenSpace Compact Downlights and Philips Master LED Spots. On top of that, the entire light control system was replaced and prepared for future needs according to the Congress Centre’s requirements while remaining fully compatible with the current building management system.
