　　Kicking off the LuxLive 2017 exhibition and conference here, Gooee said $13.1 billion Los Angeles-based CBRE will begin trialing Gooee-powered smart lighting at CBRE's Amsterdam offices, starting in January.

　　Speaking to LEDs Magazine, Gooee managing director Neil Salt and chief commercial officer Jan Kemeling both pointed to a blog posted by CBRE last week. In the blog, CBRE lauded the potential for Gooee-based smart lights that can collect data to help commercial property operators both analyze building use and intelligently control lighting and heating.

　　Gooee is now referring to its technology as “the data brain for building activity.” The company provides sensors, beacons, software and cloud computing that turn office lights into information technology networks, making lights valuable “things” in the Internet of Things (IoT) for analytic and operational purposes.
