THE L-ROC SOLUTION: THE ONE AND ONLY KEY PLAYER FOR OUTSTANDING AUTOMATION


ONE
in Frankfurt.

In downtown Frankfurt, near the trade fair grounds directly in front of a large shopping center, the ONE office and hotel high-rise with 48 above-ground floors dominates the skyline at Bruesseler Strasse 1-3. The project was commissioned by CA Immo, with a clear focus on integrating a smart building automation solution to meet demanding standards for energy efficiency, user comfort, and operational excellence and flexibility. The main building is structured into several distinct areas: a common reception hall serves both hotel and office users. The first 14 floors comprise the hotel with 375 rooms; office spaces are distributed over 29.5 floors and a sky bar with a circumferential roof terrace is located on floor 47.

Adjacent to the office tower, there is a nine-floor parking garage. The hotel’s lower floors feature a restaurant, kitchen, conference rooms, fitness center, and administration.

THE CHALLENGES

The Solution.

Unmatched Comfort and Efficiency

J & K Regeltechnik handled the installation and setup of the room automation system, using state-of-the-art LOYTEC’s LROC-400 room controllers.

In the hotel rooms, these controllers are installed in the ceiling while in the office areas, they are placed under the raised floors.

Various devices are connected to these controllers, including L-STAT room control units, heating and cooling units, control dampers, card readers, and blind motors. The system connects to the building’s central automation via BACnet IP. This allows for the exchange of key information and commands, such as heating and cooling settings, average room temperatures, weather data, and control of blinds for window cleaning. This integrated approach ensures both user comfort and flexible room design, now and in the future.

A Symphony of Light and Shade

The automation system optimizes lighting by adjusting it based on daylight, and it also controls sunshades to match the light conditions. In the conference areas, lighting and sunshades are automatically adjusted to provide the best comfort and lighting.

Room Comfort at its best

The air quality and temperature in each room are meticulously controlled and monitored. The office areas benefit from advanced heating and cooling ceilings, managed by intelligent control valves that ensure optimal conditions at all times. The system’s dynamic adaptation to room air quality guarantees a healthy and pleasant atmosphere.

Seamless Integration and Smart Monitoring

LOYTEC’s room automation system facilitates constant communication between various subsystems, collecting, analyzing, and regulating data down to the minutest detail. This comprehensive monitoring includes essential functions such as alarming, scheduling, and trending, ensuring the building operates at peak efficiency.

A Benchmark in Sustainability

The tower ONE has already been honored with Wiredscore PLATINUM, DGNB Platinum and Diamond and the Smartscore PLATIN certificates. This makes Tower ONE the first high-rise building in Germany (and even in Central Europe) to achieve the Smartscore certificate of the highest category (Platinum) and the first high-rise ever to achieve the DNGB Diamond. The DGNB Diamond award certifies that the project is of outstanding design and architectural quality. Further criteria for the assessment are the proportions, composition and overall impression of the building, the form and flexibility of the floor plans, aspects of user-friendliness such as orientation, visual relationships and spatial references. LOYTEC is proud of being part of this prestigious award and achievement.

Benefits.

The integration of LOYTEC solutions in the ONE hotel and office high-rise brings significant advantages, making it a standout example of modern building automation. The use of LROC-400 Room Controllers and L-STAT room control units ensures precise and efficient room automation, enhancing comfort and flexibility for both hotel guests and office tenants. Automated lighting and shading systems, which adjust based on daylight and light incidence, create an optimal indoor environment, improving energy efficiency and user experience. Dynamic control of room temperature and air quality, managed through advanced fieldbus-capable devices, ensures a high standard of comfort and health. The seamless integration of all systems via BACnet IP allows for efficient central control and monitoring, providing a high level of operational efficiency and responsiveness. The building’s high level of user comfort, flexible room design, and energy efficiency is validated by its prestigious Wiredscore PLATINUM, DGNB Platinum and Diamond, and Smartscore PLATIN certifications, making it a pioneering example of digitalized, sustainable office real estate.

Conclusion.

Due to the flat design of the L-ROC Room Controller, the multitude of physical data points and the flexible programming, the product perfectly fits the requirements of the building owner and their tenants of a modern office and hotel property. With three certifications in the highest category (Smartscore PLATIN / Wiredscore PLATINUM / DGNB Platinum and Diamond) - the office tower ONE can truly be called a pioneer for digitalized, sustainable office real estate. 

 LOYTEC’s innovative approach in building automation not only drives the journey towards net-zero emissions but also enhances the comfort and well-being of the people within these spaces. By creating highly efficient, environmentally sustainable, and future-ready solutions, LOYTEC ensures that your buildings prioritize the health, comfort, and productivity of their occupants, making it the ideal partner for your modern and sustainable buildings.
