Introducing the Energy Loop Experience Showroom by Prime Star

Prime Star Co., Ltd., known for its LED lighting and comprehensive energy solutions, has recently unveiled its new showroom, the "Energy Loop Experience," in Akasaka, Tokyo. This facility showcases the direct relationship between building environments and energy management, providing visitors with a hands-on understanding of next-generation energy solutions.

Unlike traditional product displays, this showroom offers an immersive experience where users can see and feel how energy systems integrate within real office spaces. Utilizing the international standard for building automation, KNX, the showroom demonstrates how lighting, HVAC, and blinds can automatically adjust based on human activity and time of day, creating an innovative and adaptable environment. Furthermore, the showroom houses a real-time energy management system (EMS), allowing guests to visualize renewable energy generation and storage at a glance, embodying a space where comfort and energy efficiency coexist.

Why Energy Management is Essential Now

As energy costs rise and new energy conservation regulations come into play, businesses today face increasing pressure to enhance energy efficiency in their buildings. Effective energy-saving strategies must go beyond merely updating equipment; they must also improve comfort and productivity. Prime Star’s "Energy Loop" concept promotes a circular approach to energy that encompasses generating, storing, reducing, and controlling energy, thereby autonomously optimizing the entire building environment. The showroom is designed to provide demonstrations of this innovative approach, helping visitors discover solutions to the pressing challenges they face.

Four Key Attractions of the New Showroom

1. Adaptive Control Systems with KNX
The showroom illustrates three distinct environments—office (1st floor), hotel (2nd floor), and residential living (3rd floor)—that are controlled through a KNX-based system. For instance, in the office, blinds open to welcome bright daylight in the morning and dim automatically during lunch breaks. As evening approaches, the system engages with automatic shading to mitigate glare and temperature rise, transitioning lights and HVAC systems into energy-saving modes after working hours.

2. Real-Time Energy Monitoring
The EMS dashboard displays energy flow in real-time, showcasing solar power generation, the charge/discharge status of redox flow batteries, and overall power consumption within the office. Visitors can witness the unique color-changing properties of the electrolyte based on its state of charge, providing a fun and visual way to understand energy dynamics through miniature models.

3. Comparative Experience of LED Light Quality
The showroom features Prime Star’s own "Reach" series of LED lights, allowing visitors to compare their soothing quality directly with standard LED lights. The samples highlight the flicker-free experience that mitigates eye strain, aligns with international electromagnetic noise standards, and ensures uniform light distribution.

4. Touch and Feel the Aesthetics of JUNG Switches
Showcasing exquisite switches from German manufacturer JUNG, the showroom invites guests to interact with all colors from the 'Les Couleurs® Le Corbusier®' palette. These switches reflect the philosophy of renowned architect Le Corbusier, enhancing the aesthetic of any space while providing tactile experiences through varied materials—metallic and matte plastics.

Remarks from Chiyo Shimoda, CEO of Prime Star

"The Energy Loop Experience showcases the culmination of our long-standing expertise in LED lighting consulting, solar energy systems, and control technologies. Our mission is to redefine energy conservation as a supportive and user-friendly approach—far from making individuals sacrifice comfort. I invite you to visit our Akasaka showroom to experience firsthand the synergy of comfort and energy efficiency that defines the next-generation workplace."
