Sustainable approach for huge warehouse

As a framework contract partner of the Rewe Group, the Romberg Group is responsible for consulting, conception, planning, and implementation of the logistics hub's complete LED lighting - and relies on customised solutions from TRILUX. Across all logistics areas, 20 km of E-Line NEXT LED continuous rows provide tailor-made, high-quality, and energy-efficient LED lighting. The ground-breaking ceremony took place in spring 2020, with completion scheduled for mid-2022.  

The overall sustainable building concept, scores highly for its self-generated electricity through photovoltaics, combined heat, power, and cooling (CHP) from a combined heat and power plant (CHP)and low power energy-efficient LED lighting.  

They are working towards one goal: a GOLD standard certification according to the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB).

The challenge is to illuminate the various logistics areas, which have ceiling heights between five and 32 metres, and operate in temperatures ranging from -24°C to + 26°C, with precision. The lighting solution of choice: E-Line NEXT LED from TRILUX. The continuous row can be flexibly adapted to each application in regard to lighting technology, protection, and mounting type - all with an efficiency of up to 190 lm/W while providing a high-quality and sustainable light.

A total of 20 km of E-Line NEXT LED is installed in continuous rows throughout the logistics area. To date, 50% of the luminaires have been installed. Each area has a customised version. In the refrigerated warehouses, E-Line NEXT LED protected to IP64 is used; in the other zones, the IP20 version has been selected. Customised lighting technology ensures perfect lighting everywhere; for example, in the 32 metre high halls, the E-Line NEXT LED with deep-beam optics and approx. Eight thousand lumens is the ideal solution. To increase the overall energy efficiency of the lighting, the luminaires are networked and combined with sensors for presence detection.

The E-Line NEXT LED installation is complemented by 500 Oleveon Fit LED moisture-proof luminaires in the logistics and intralogistics areas, the specialist areas, and the loading bay. TRILUX lighting solutions have also been used in other building areas - a total of 2,000 Siella LED recessed ceiling luminaires in the offices and conference rooms. 136 Mondia wall-mounted and surface-mounted luminaires in corridors, ancillary spaces, and recreation rooms. 300 Sonnos LED downlights light the staircases and WCs. In addition, the car park will be equipped with 152 Oleveon Fit LED moisture-proof luminaires.

Despite the enormous scope of the project, there was a tight schedule to meet, in which all trades had to be aligned to ensure a smooth process. 

Instead of shipping the E-Line NEXT LED modules individually packaged or as a project bundle on pallets, the luminaires are preassembled specifically for the project- in a five-meter-long transport system with wheels - and delivered to the construction site, almost without any packaging, by truck.
