Technology Bulletin December 2025

Hi First Name,

Welcome to the December Tech Bulletin  – our final update for the year.

This month, we’re looking at the key shifts shaping smarter, more sustainable buildings in 2025. From why LED upgrades must include proper lighting control, to how smart systems are becoming central to sustainability goals, we break down what you need to know heading into the new year.

We’ve also included our end-of-year closure details, so you can plan ahead.

Enjoy the read...

Sincerely,
The Intelligent Environments Team

Why is Lighting Control Necessary When Upgrading to LEDs?

When upgrading to LED luminaires, it’s not just about replacing the existing fluorescent fittings or HID lamps with more energy efficient ones.

LED luminaires offer many advantages over traditional lighting technologies, such as longer lifespan, lower energy consumption, and enhanced controllability. An LED lighting control system will be essential to allow you to optimise and maximise these benefits. 

Sustainable Lighting Solution

Achieve Sustainability Goals

As we prepare for the new year, it’s a great time to refocus on creating smarter and more sustainable workspaces. At Intelligent Environments, we use innovative smart lighting technology to transform buildings into healthier, more efficient environments.

Sixteen years ago, most customers came to us simply to reduce energy costs. Today, sustainable lighting solutions go far beyond savings – they’re a clear reflection of an organisation’s commitment to long-term environmental goals.

End of Year Closure Notice

Please note our offices will be closed from 24 December 2025 for the holiday break. A few team members will be back on 5 January 2026 to assist with limited enquiries, with full business operations resuming from 12 January 2026.

For urgent service, please contact support@i-e.co.nz and we'll back to you as soon as we can.

MYTH BUSTING SERIES

Lighting Control Myth Busting #13

We love debunking common lighting control myths – one myth at a time!

Myth

We need a Building Management System (BMS) for energy saving, and we don't have the budget.

Busted

A BMS isn't necessarily required. Your zencontrol system is designed to monitor and allow you to monitor your building's performance and optimise energy efficiency.

We regularly share content like this, and other industry insights, on LinkedIn.
