How Rémy Cointreau Cut Lighting Energy Costs at Its NYC HQ with Low-Voltage Smart Lighting

This NexusCon 2025 session dives into Rémy Cointreau’s headquarters in Times Square and how the team tackled energy efficiency without ripping out their entire building stack. Mary Raby, Account Executive at wtec, and Ted Grant, Facilities and Office Manager at Rémy Cointreau, walk through why they chose a low-voltage Smart Engine lighting infrastructure as the backbone for energy savings, analytics, and wellness. The project focused on a ~30,000 sq ft office where real-time power data, daylight harvesting, and space analytics could be deployed quickly. You’ll also hear how lighting became the entry point for better indoor air quality monitoring and a stronger tenant experience.

Behind the paywall, you’ll learn what actually changed once Rémy Cointreau had real data instead of estimates, and why lighting was the fastest path to measurable savings. The team shares concrete numbers, including how lighting power density dropped from 0.694 to 0.1042 W/sq ft and how annual lighting costs fell from roughly $33,000 to about $5,100. They also cover what surprised them—like how quickly space utilization and IAQ alerts became operational tools—and how preventive maintenance issues were caught early through automated alerts. This recording is especially relevant for facility and energy leaders looking for a cost-neutral retrofit that delivers energy savings, analytics, and a scalable smart building backbone on day one.
