"The light in the library is always the same, regardless of whether it is sunny outside or already evening. As a visitor, I find this very pleasant, because the atmosphere in here is always the same, bright and friendly."

Stuttgart City Library
Intelligent light for intelligent minds. On 24 October 2011, the new city library building opened as a cultural centre on Mailänder Platz in Stuttgart’s new Europaviertel district. When planning the new Stuttgart City Library, Korean architect Eun Young Yi envisioned creating a symbol for a new social centre that combines education and a thirst for knowledge with a distinctive and inspiring architectural element.
One of the building’s most striking and innovative features is its thermal façade with a double-shell structure made of concrete and glass. The clear design concept is expressed in a simple and elegant cube. The innovative architecture of the blue monolith is also reflected in the use of modern technology.
STEINEL products provide a harmonious balance between the use of natural daylight and demand-based control of artificial lighting.
Project: City Library
Project type: Library
Location: Stuttgart , Germany
Product group: presence detector
Products: 200 x HF 360 KNX
central building automation
When the library was built, a KNX-based building automation system was chosen to centrally control important building functions such as lighting. STEINEL KNX sensors can be integrated quickly and easily into the building technology. For motion detection in the library, the HF 360 KNX from STEINEL’s proven Presence Control PRO range was selected. It supports demand-based lighting control and ensures a balanced interaction between natural and artificial light.
Planning with RELUX
The building's planners were supported by RELUX software to optimise the number and positioning of the presence detectors. RELUX software can be used to plan all STEINEL presence detectors. The product data for all sensors is stored in this software. With just a few clicks of the mouse, the professional user receives a perfect list of his sensors and can even display the detection zone of each sensor in RELUX.
360-degree overview
The HF 360 is particularly slim because, thanks to HF technology, it works without a lens. Installed on the ceiling, it detects all movements in a full circle from 1 to 8 metres. This can be set exactly as required. Another special feature of HF technology: no matter how you approach the sensor, the quality of the detection is always equally good. Unlike PIR technology, there is no difference between tangential and radial detection.
Penetrating insight
High-frequency waves have the advantage of being able to penetrate glass room elements or even stud walls. This means that the HF 360 can be installed invisibly behind suspended ceilings without compromising detection quality. Visitors to the Stuttgart City Library cannot see the sensors, but they ensure pleasant workplace lighting.
