Success Story - Thales Kiel

The Thales building in Kiel expands the company’s presence in the Wik district and creates additional space for technology-intensive work and project environments. onework provided support in the form of manufacturer-led planning and construction supervision, as well as the integration of smart room and building automation. Lighting, indoor climate, occupancy and daylighting functions, sun protection, and central control logic were integrated into a scalable automation structure.

Technology-intensive use

Work areas, project areas, and operational areas had to provide stable conditions for focused work, technical processes, and various usage scenarios.

Efficient Building Operations

Lighting, indoor climate, and sun protection should be controlled according to need to avoid unnecessary energy consumption.

Comfortable working conditions

User areas required reliable lighting, climate control, and shading functions without unnecessarily burdening operations with manual intervention.

Scalable technical architecture

The automation system had to be maintainable in the long term, traceable, and designed to accommodate future adjustments.

The Solution with onework

onework CORE

onework CORE serves as the central integration hub for room and building automation. Building functions, operational statuses, and control logic are consolidated and made transparently controllable.

Intelligent Lighting Control

Lighting is regulated based on usage, occupancy, and the availability of natural light. This promotes good working conditions while reducing unnecessary energy consumption.

Sunshading and Indoor Climate

Shading and indoor climate are automatically coordinated. This creates stable comfort conditions while making thermal loads and energy consumption easier to manage.

Occupancy and Daylight Functions

Occupancy and daylight data are used to control room functions according to need. Areas in use are reliably supplied with lighting, while unused areas do not tie up unnecessary resources.
