As the Scandinavian market leader for innovative and sustainable lighting solutions, Fagerhult now offers its comprehensive range of products for office applications in Germany. It focuses on lighting solutions that enhance human well-being and help more property owners minimise their climate impact and achieve sustainability targets.
'We have planned, prepared, and worked hard for a long time – and collectively strived to move towards taking this step. Now I am pleased to announce that we are finally here,' says Frank Augustsson, MD, Fagerhult. 'Germany is Europe's largest market within the office sector, and we strongly believe our knowledge of smart, sustainable and human-centred lighting can make a difference for both people and the environment, along with sharing our vision of creating Light for better living.'
The ongoing phase-out of fluorescent tubes, regulated by EU directives, positions Fagerhult as a key player to help its customers reduce energy consumption and minimise climate impact in offices around Germany.
'Energy efficiency is high on the agenda in Germany, as it is across Europe. Our ambition is therefore to offer Organic Response with all our lighting solutions. This enables a wireless lighting management system based on integrated sensors to automatically detect and share presence and daylight data. As a result, the light follows people – it is only used when and where it is needed, saving up to 70 % energy from day one.'
Also, in 2024, the European Parliament voted to revise the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) to reduce the average energy consumption of buildings. This revision mandates the collection of energy performance data, including lighting, in public and commercial buildings. To optimise your facility, smart lighting with Organic Response offers valuable insights that inform strategic decisions about facility management, from energy consumption to space utilisation.
A key driver of sustainability is energy efficiency. A life cycle analysis by Fagerhult shows that, depending on the energy mix, the majority of a luminaire's greenhouse gas emissions occur during the use phase, reaching up to 95% in the German energy mix. In addition to reducing energy consumption, Fagerhult attaches great importance to exploring and using innovative and sustainable materials. By 2030, all newly developed luminaires are to be made from at least 80% renewable or recycled materials.
'We hope to find many new and forward-looking collaborations as we introduce Fagerhult and the Swedish Light to Germany,' says Frank Augustsson.
