NETEX AV · LIGHT & CONTROL

Automation, Lighting & Shading

Shape how a space feels throughout the day with considered lighting, shading, and controls that bring useful functions together in a simple experience.

NETEX AV

A space designed around the experience.

Bring the room, technology and everyday controls into the same design conversation.

Experience

Start with how the room will be used.

Integration

Coordinate lighting, sound, displays and control.

Everyday use

Plan for a clear handover and ongoing ownership.

EXPERIENCE FIRST

A space that works
as beautifully as it looks.

Lighting, shading, AV, and other room functions are often specified separately. The resulting controls can feel fragmented, and late decisions can complicate wiring or finishes. Planning the desired scenes and daily interactions early helps align the technology with the architecture.

For property owners, facilities managers, architects, interior designers, and project teams planning commercial spaces or sophisticated residences.

Control built around daily routines

Define useful scenes for arrival, meetings, presentations, relaxation, or closing so controls reflect how the space is actually used.

A coordinated design

Consider fixtures, shades, fabric, control locations, wiring, and network needs together with the wider interior and electrical design.

An understandable handover

Give designated users a clear explanation of scenes, manual controls, schedules, and the boundaries of connected functions.

EVERY DETAIL CONNECTED

One considered experience.

Lighting scenes and room control

Plan dimming, switching, and scenes around the intended activities and selected fixtures. Coordinate load compatibility and electrical work with the appropriate qualified trade.

Motorized shading

Review window dimensions, exposure, privacy needs, fabric preferences, and installation conditions. Coordinate power, wiring or wireless requirements, mounting, and the intended interaction with room controls.

Keypads, interfaces, and schedules

Organize frequently used functions into clear keypad layouts, touch interfaces, or approved app controls. Define schedules and automated actions with an accessible manual way to use the space.

AV and environmental coordination

Evaluate whether presentation, entertainment, shading, lighting, or other supported functions should work together. Confirm integration capabilities with the chosen products instead of assuming all devices are interchangeable.

Infrastructure and project coordination

Plan controllers, power requirements, cable routes, network services, equipment locations, and future access. Coordinate decisions with design, electrical, construction, and IT teams before finishes are closed.

Programming, commissioning, and handover

Validate scenes, transitions, schedules, and manual operation with the owner. Deliver the agreed documentation, user instruction, account ownership, and maintenance or support arrangements.

DESIGN THROUGH HANDOVER

Bring the whole team together.

Understand the space and routines

Review floor plans, finishes, window conditions, intended activities, and the people who will use and manage the system.

Coordinate design decisions

Agree on scenes, controls, fixture and shade requirements, wiring, equipment locations, and integration boundaries.

Install and tune

Coordinate installation with the project trades and refine scenes and control behavior under the actual lighting and room conditions.

Handover with confidence

Walk through everyday use and manual controls, record approved settings, and clarify how future adjustments and service are handled.

PLANNING YOUR PROJECT

Before the first drawing.

Can lighting and shades be controlled together?

They can be planned as a coordinated experience where the selected products support the required integration. The design should identify the exact functions, controls, manual operation, and any product or licensing dependencies.

Can automation be added to an existing space?

Often there are retrofit options, but suitability depends on wiring, fixtures, windows, available power, network conditions, and the desired controls. A site review helps identify practical choices and the amount of installation work involved.

Will we still have ordinary wall controls?

Manual use should be part of the design conversation. The appropriate keypad, switch, or local control arrangement depends on the selected system and the way occupants need to use the space.

When should an architect or electrical contractor be involved?

As early as practical. Fixture compatibility, power, mounting, shade pockets, cable routes, and control locations can affect construction and finishes. The project plan should identify which decisions belong to each trade.

Do you promise energy savings from automation?

No specific savings are assumed. Outcomes depend on the building, equipment, settings, occupancy, and actual use. If energy performance is a project objective, the scope should define the baseline, measurement approach, and appropriate specialists.
