Flexxi Business Centre

Tecniche Nuove is a publishing group founded in 1964, disseminating professional information to the mechanical sector primarily, and many other trade sectors across Italy. In June 2014, the organization celebrated its 50th anniversary, and marked this important milestone by inaugurating its new headquarters, the ‘Palace of Culture,’ a 15-storey tower, extending the company’s existing complex in via Eritrea in Milan, to the north of the city. GEWISS supplied the entire system of Chorus plates and devices in every office, as well as a system of actuators that electronically control curtains and lighting. The energy on each floor is managed by GEWISS’ 47 CVX distribution cabinets, while the 24 Series SC retractable towers protect and connect each space. Finally, in basement rooms, the emergency lighting system is provided by the autonomous emergency ceiling lights from the Startec Net range.

Tre Torri is an architectural project centred on design and innovation, perfectly integrated into the philosophy of the new neighbourhood that has been built around it. A modern setting, to be furnished in a simple yet elegant style: this was the challenge for GEWISS and its emergency lighting solutions. More than 2,500 Startec KNX EIB and Startec Check lamps were used to provide emergency lighting for the entire complex, coupled with supervisory software that enables the entire lighting system to be controlled.

In the recording studio of the radio station with the most listeners in Italy, lighting is a vital part of daily life. RTL turned to GEWISS devices to equip its Milan facility, where Smart [4] devices are used not only to ensure visual comfort, but also to increase energy efficiency. At RTL, the lights are always on, and the superior efficiency of the system (up to 20% more efficient than standard systems) is certainly appreciated.
