With offices in Australia and Sweden - Organic response, a member of the Fagerhult Group, develops world leading technology for the built environment. Our core product is an Intelligence lighting control system that allows each individual luminaire to make lighting decisions based on the presence of occupants in its immediate vicinity, ambient light levels, and information it receives from its neighbouring luminaires. It then contributes information back to the luminaire community, so other luminaires can also make more informed lighting decisions. Although they make decisions individually, Distributed Intelligence means all the lights in a defined space act as a coordinated whole. The result is a highly flexible, energy efficient lighting control system with a compelling proposition to developers, building owners and tenants: * Organic Response is easy to install. Because the control technology is integrated into light fittings before delivery to the building site, installation is as easy as installing a luminaire. The system is completely Plug & Play, with no additional wiring or commissioning required for the system to operate. * Once installed, the system is simple to operate, with various control parameters adjustable using a simple smartphone app. * Organic Response has a rich feature set, delivering highly sophisticated lighting control through motion detection, daylight dimming, and scenes and zones functionality, amongst many others. * The system has been independently evaluated in multiple installations, showing energy savings of between 56% -78%.
