In the bustling heart of New York City, at Three Times Square, Remy Cointreau has embarked on a journey to redefine their office environment. This transformation into a smart, energy-efficient workspace not only underscores their commitment to sustainability but also a leap into the future of smart building technology, setting a new standard for what modern offices can achieve. With the integration of the smartengine technology, Remy Cointreau has created an office space that is dynamic, efficient, and conducive to both productivity and well-being. Jim Pirot, Managing Principal at Cresa, applauds the integration of technology and design, “The space is a perfect blend of modern design and cutting-edge technology. It’s an exemplary model of what a smart, sustainable office should look like.”
Remy Cointreau’s journey began with a clear vision: to create a workspace that aligns with their sustainability goals. This vision was realized through the strategic incorporation of smartengine, which has been instrumental in achieving their objectives. As Ted Grant, Office Facilities Manager at Remy Cointreau, explains, “One of the key features of smartengine is its ability to monitor lighting usage and costs in real time. With just a few clicks, we can quickly pull reports to analyze and optimize our lighting consumption.”
It’s not just about managing lighting; it's about creating an intelligent, responsive environment. The smartengine technology allows Remy Cointreau to monitor indoor air quality, ensuring a healthy and productive workspace. Sensors throughout the office continuously collect data on various environmental parameters, including temperature, humidity, and CO₂ levels. This data is then analyzed in real-time and sent to the BMS, enabling the facilities team to maintain optimal indoor conditions.
The design of the new office space is both dynamic and responsive to the needs of its occupants. With the abundance of natural lighting in the space, smartengine’s daylight harvesting feature adjusts artificial lighting based on the amount of natural light available, further reducing energy consumption and creating a pleasant, well-lit workspace. With the help of a dynamic workspace, employees can enjoy a comfortable, modern environment that supports their work and well-being, while Remy Cointreau benefits from reduced operational costs and a smaller carbon footprint.
One of the most significant advantages of smartengine is its ability to provide valuable data insights. The stunning office that architecturally reflects the brand’s heritage and modern outlook utilizes various data inputs to make informed decisions about office layout and space allocation, along with real-time occupancy data to manage room bookings. Through the smartengine user interface, smartmanager, the data is converted into actionable insights that can be used to optimize space utilization, energy consumption, and overall operational efficiency.
