Big projects require simple visualization

The DC Tower 1 is used as a multifunctional building (hotel, residential and office premises), which is frequented by several thousand people every day. din-Sicherheitstechnik supplied the emergency and safety lighting for the 250m building. The architecture required special versions of LED emergency luminaires. Special attention was also paid to monitoring the emergency lighting system, which is made simple and clear for all building tenants thanks to a visualisation program from din-Sicherheitstechnik.
