Entry DescriptionKUMUX Platform revolutionises architectural lighting design with its AI-driven approach. By seamlessly integrating control systems and luminaires, it empowers designers to craft dynamic lighting configurations that adapt to illuminance and colour temperature needs throughout the day. This innovative tool supports designers from the earliest schematic phases, offering dynamic curve creation based on various colour science standards (such as WELL, UL, Lighting Research Center, or designer-specific) and circadian patterns tailored to specific geolocations, building types, and lighting layouts.
Compatible with all major luminaire manufacturers and LED sources, KUMUX Platform utilises AI algorithms to optimise light spectra for human well-being. Its commissioning service ensures seamless implementation with leading control systems like Lutron, Casambi, Pharos, Summa, KNX, and Inventronics, streamlining final testing and calibration. By reducing design and commissioning time, The Platform minimises risks ensuring the realisation of the envisioned lighting concept and benefits.
This platform empowers designers to harmonise aesthetics with human-centric and circadian principles, enriching spaces and applications for clients. KUMUX platform represents a transformative tool for lighting design, merging technological innovation with human well-being to create impactful environments.
Sustainability ApproachUsing LED technology, lighting consumption can decrease by up to 80%, enhancing building energy efficiency and lowering lighting bills. Additionally, by simulating natural light indoors and adjusting lighting to meet human needs the KUMUX platform can optimise lighting efficiency. Advanced lighting control and management algorithms in this software decrease energy usage by 20%. This saving positively impacts the environment by reducing electrical consumption. Consequently, the carbon footprint of buildings is lowered, generating fewer greenhouse gas emissions. This helps mitigate climate change and reduce carbon pollution from traditional lighting.
