BRILLIANCE IN MOTION:
INNOVATIVE LIGHTING SOLUTION
FOR LARGE SCALE AREAS


Paris-Longchamp Hippodrome.

The Paris-Longchamp Hippodrome stands as an iconic landmark of sporting heritage and architectural splendor in France. Recently, the facility underwent a significant building upgrade aimed at enhancing both its aesthetic appeal and functional capabilities. This case study delves into the meticulous renovation efforts that have transformed the Paris-Longchamp Hippodrome into a modern masterpiece while preserving its rich history.

The famous Paris-Longchamp racecourse now shines in new splendor with a DALI lighting control system that spans 6 buildings. The LOYTEC L-DALI lighting solution aims to significantly reduce energy savings and to play a crucial role in creating a high-quality room ambience.

THE CHALLENGES

The Solution.

Several companies were involved in optimizing the leisure building located in the West of Paris close to the Seine. The OTEIS design office is part of the project management alongside the architect Dominique Perrault.

Integration in record time

ITV, LOYTEC Competence Partner in France, successfully implemented a DALI lighting control system across six buildings spanning 45,000 square meters in record time. This ambitious project involved outfitting 75 rooms with 1200 luminaires, all coordinated through 29 DALI channels controlled by 12 LDALI-ME204-U DALI controllers from LOYTEC. The system communicates seamlessly via BACnet IP, ensuring efficient management and operation. Lighting activation is triggered solely by presence detection, with lights automatically turning off five minutes after the last movement is detected.

Commissioning of luminaires and sensors, as well as full system parameterization using DALI groups, was achieved using the intuitive web interface of the L-DALI controllers. LOYTEC’s ‘global connection’ feature facilitated a master/slave setup among multiple controllers, allowing centralized control across all DALI groups. Configuration of this function, along with BACnet data point creation and EDE file generation for BMS integration, was streamlined using the LINX-Configurator software. Additionally, the LDALI-BM1 pushbutton coupler from LOYTEC enables convenient scene control in areas requiring sophisticated lighting adjustments

Benefits.

The DALI lighting control system implemented at the Paris-Longchamp Hippodrome delivers significant sustainability benefits, notably through advanced presence detection that activates lights only when needed and automatically turns them off shortly after areas are vacated. This efficient management strategy not only optimizes operational effectiveness but also reduces energy consumption across the expansive 45,000 square meter venue. Integrated seamlessly with the building management system via BACnet IP, LOYTEC’s DALI controllers enable centralized lighting management across multiple buildings, fostering a sustainable environment by maximizing resource efficiency.

Conclusion.

The swift deployment and effective operation of LOYTEC’s DALI lighting control system at the Paris-Longchamp Hippodrome highlights a successful blend of innovation and sustainability in building management. The customer’s satisfaction with the project outcome underscores the benefits of optimized lighting systems. This solution ensures reduced energy consumption and CO² emissions, creating a superior indoor environment for both employees and visitors. LOYTEC’s L-DALI lighting control solutions impressed with their rapid commissioning, crucial for meeting deadlines and project completion. These powerful DALI controllers are ITV’s preferred choice for lighting control projects, reflecting a commitment to environmental responsibility and operational efficiency. The scalable system continues to optimize energy resources, establishing the Hippodrome as a milestone in LOYTEC’s lighting solutions.
