GModG · Retail

Lighting control for retail
and branches under the GModG.

On the sales floor, light helps sell. The savings are therefore mainly where customers don't go, and outside opening hours.

Whether a store falls under § 56 GModG depends on the rated output of the relevant heating, air-conditioning or combined ventilation system. Check this per building, not for the company as a whole, so the result can differ from site to site in a branch network. A uniform solution is still worthwhile, as it makes figures comparable.

What makes sense in retail

  • Sales floor: schedules based on opening hours keep the product presentation as bright as before.
  • Storage, back office, staff rooms: presence sensors switch only when needed, often without anyone noticing.
  • Deliveries and car park: base light that brightens on movement.
  • Before and after closing: cleaning and restocking rarely need full lighting.

Comparing branches

With monitoring you can see what the lighting consumes at each site and which branch stands out. The AU-Manager supports remote maintenance, so settings can be changed without anyone travelling, and we can take this over under a maintenance contract.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions from retail

Will the sales floor get darker?

No, during opening hours the light stays as you want it. Savings come outside opening hours and in side areas.

Does the 70 kW threshold apply to the whole company?

No. It relates to the system in the building.

We only rent the space. Does this affect us?

Under § 8 GModG the owner or developer is responsible. Talk to your landlord, as both sides often benefit from the savings. Not legal advice.

Can we start with one branch?

Yes. A pilot branch shows what control delivers before you convert other sites.
