Palazzo Te: upgrading the park's lighting system

Palazzo Te, the Renaissance villa famous for the artistic and cultural legacy left by the Gonzaga family near Mantua, has become a symbol and meeting place for both citizens and tourists.

In recent years, the municipality has financed a lighting and energy redevelopment project to provide visitors with a more modern, elegant, and green environment.

Revetec was one of the participants in the work in the context of the park's energy efficiency. In particular, two radio-frequency point-to-point gateway kits were installed inside the electrical panels and over 200 remote control nodes on the lighting fixtures.

The dimming, switching on and off of the luminaires, in addition to wireless remote control of the system in the field towards the control centre (CMS, Central Management System), also takes place through dynamic adaptive control. In fact, within the park, pole-mounted devices have been positioned that, connected to infrared presence sensors, detect the passage of pedestrians and cyclists and communicate the desired dimming command to the gateway via radio waves.

Dynamic adaptive lighting makes the park of Palazzo Te more interactive, efficient and safe for visitors, as light dimming is instantaneous and intensified when it is actually needed.
