Case study

Schiphol Airport opts
for Circular lighting:a responsiblechoiceBest lighting
without upfront
investment
Lounge 2, situated at the heart of Schiphol Airport, is justifiably seen
as a showcase for Schiphol’s corporate identity. After an extensive
renovation, this transfer hall offers everything passengers can expectfrom a modern airport. And more. Passengers can enjoy the comfort
offered by seven experience worlds that focus on shopping, food,drinks and relaxation. “We have created something which we can all be
extremely proud of”, says André van den Berg, Executive Vice President& Chief Commercial Officer Schiphol Group. “But our finest achievement– the extremely sustainable lighting solution – is perhaps the least
prominent feature.”

A completely
new view onlight: ‘ownership’
replaced by‘pay as you go’“Our choice for the new lighting in Lounge
2 shows that we take our responsibility
in the use of raw materials resources
and commit to our sustainability policy.
This lighting offers maximum sustainability
at all times and continuously secures thespecified performance level.”
André van den BergExecutive Vice President & Chief
Commercial Officer Schiphol GroupSchiphol is one of the sustainableairports in the world. The airport has
made it a top priority to reduce energy
consumption and continuously looks
for ways to build sustainably. All of these
efforts serve a single goal: to become
the most sustainable airport in the world.
“When we decided to remodel Lounge 2,
we saw a huge opportunity for making
further progress in this direction”, says
André van den Berg. “The Philips Circular
lighting solution was the best option.” But
what are the benefits exactly? Thomas Rau,
CEO and Founder of Turntoo, a visionary
and consultant in the circular economy
field collaborated with Philips to develop
this innovative business service model.
It’s a completely new approach to lighting
where ‘ownership’ is replaced by ‘pay as
you go’. Rau explains the concept: “We havedeveloped Circular lighting together withPhilips Lighting. The principle is simple:
instead of buying a luminaire, you buy
light. This incentivizes Philips Lighting to
manufacture high-quality, sustainable lighting
systems, which are modular in design and fully
repairable. When the contract period has expired,the customer can choose to extend the contract
with upgrading the existing lighting or opt for
new lighting. Luminaires can be returned toPhilips Lighting for reuse or recycling.

Sustainable luminaires
The specially developed sustainable Philips
luminaires, which hang in an attractive patternin the transfer hall above the passenger’ heads,
comply with the stringent requirements of the
Circular lighting concept. These luminaires havebeen specifically designed to allow fast and easy
repair or replacement. However, they also satisfy
Schiphol’s demanding requirements in terms ofaesthetics. Herman Kosmann, Partner/Creative
Director of Kossmann.dejong architects tells
us more. “Schiphol asked us to create sevendifferent experience worlds, but at the sametime unite them to create a single entity in theeyes of the passengers”, Kosmann explains.
“Our ceiling design achieves this in one fellswoop. We recommended the speciallydeveloped sustainable Philips luminaires
for the ceiling as it was the most sustainable
and circular economy ready solution, with avery nice design. We have positioned theseluminaires in the direction of the windows toencourage passengers to look towards theaircraft; in other words their next destination.”
Reliable
These luminaires were installed by ENGIE. “We are responsible for providing technicalservices for the building systems and power
generation systems here at the airport”, says
Glenn Konings, ENGIE’s Business Unit Director

at Schiphol. “We installed the luminaires andsigned a 5-year maintenance contract with
Schiphol and Philips Lighting, with an option
for a further 5 years.” ENGIE offers maximum
lighting performance. “We measure thisagainst KPIs, which are based on demanding
performance standards. Schiphol has
succeeded in installing the best and mostsustainable and energy-efficient form oflighting without any up-front investment. Eachluminaire is connected to a control system, any
failures that occur are signaled immediately
and we can make repairs at any time of day.
As the permanent partner of Philips Lightingand Schiphol, we are proud of our contribution
to achieving our joint sustainability goals.”
No upfront investment
With the circular lighting proposition, Schiphol
has not had to invest any funds upfront.
“We just pay a monthly service fee”, says
Floor Felten, Director Asset Management
Schiphol. “That fee also includes the energy andmaintenance costs.” How can Philips Lighting

offer this attractive service? Felten answers:“These light sources consume 50% less power
than their predecessors. In addition, the newluminaires have a 75% longer lifespan comparedto the luminaires that were previously in use
here.” Finally, Felten refers to the speciallydeveloped luminaire’s intelligent design.
“If a vulnerable component fails prematurely,
you no longer have to replace the completeluminaire, just that one component.”
Responsibility
Van den Berg is very happy with the result.
“Our choice for the new lighting in Lounge 2shows that we take our responsibility in theuse of raw materials resources and commit toour sustainability policy”, he says. “The lighting
contributes to creating a pleasant environment
for passengers and has a positive effect on
how people experience the airport. From ourpoint of view, it is comforting to know that
our lighting offers maximum sustainability
at all times without any concessions in termsof performance.”

The design of thetransfer hall is based on
three basic principles:mold the different experience
worlds into a single entity,
create a restful environment
for the passengers andproduce as sustainablea design as possible.
