What ELO™ does

Your space notices — and responds.

  1. Senses the moment

    Notices how busy the space is, the time of day and the conditions — without cameras.

  2. Adapts the atmosphere

    Light, sound, scent and visuals change together to fit what the room is for right now.

  3. Gets better over time

    Learns what works in your space and refines each scene, with you in control.

Adaptive scenes

One space. A changing atmosphere.

Light, sound, scent and visuals shift together — a calmer arrival, a spa people linger in, a room where teams focus.

Why it matters

Better for people. Better for business.

A space that fits the moment shows up in how guests spend, how spa slots fill and how rooms get used. Each idea is tested in your space — not a guaranteed ELO result.

  • Profit

    A better atmosphere should pay for itself — in higher spend, fuller slots and better-used rooms.

    How we’d test this
    Example
    Compare two lounge sound settings on otherwise similar evenings — in a hotel bar, a spa café or an office lunch area — keeping prices and offers the same.
    What to measure
    Spend per guest (hotel bar, spa café) or desk and meeting-room utilisation (office); subtract extra operating and ELO costs to assess profit, not just sales.
    Research & limits
    A restaurant study found that background-music tempo affected purchases and length of stay. It did not establish hotel profit gains.
    Milliman, 1986 (opens in a new tab)
  • Customer experience

    Make every arrival feel considered.

    How we’d test this
    Example
    Compare a gently scented arrival scene with an unscented one — hotel lobby, spa reception or office entrance — while light, sound and visuals stay steady.
    What to measure
    Optional 1–5 arrival-comfort ratings and atmosphere-related complaints per 100 stays, spa visits or arriving guests.
    Research & limits
    A simulated-store experiment found different evaluations and behaviours with and without ambient scent. This is not evidence of better hotel ratings.
    Spangenberg et al., 1996 (opens in a new tab)
  • Wellness

    Create room to unwind, without promising health benefits.

    How we’d test this
    Example
    Compare a nature-inspired soundscape with your usual sound — in the spa lounge, a hotel suite or an office quiet room — at a similar volume.
    What to measure
    Optional 0–10 relaxation ratings before and after a visit, compared across the two settings.
    Research & limits
    In a 40-person laboratory study, skin-conductance recovery tended to be faster with nature sounds than noise; a heart-rate measure showed no effect.
    Alvarsson et al., 2010 (opens in a new tab)
  • Happiness

    Ask people what feels better, rather than assuming.

    How we’d test this
    Example
    Let hotel guests, spa visitors or office teams rate two scenes in the same space while the other sensory layers stay unchanged.
    What to measure
    Optional 1–5 enjoyment ratings and the share who prefer each scene. These measure the experience, not lasting happiness.
    Research & limits
    Participants in the same laboratory study rated nature sounds more pleasant than the tested noises. Pleasantness is not proof of long-term wellbeing.
    Alvarsson et al., 2010 (opens in a new tab)

Measures are agreed during the Sensory Survey and compared on similar days. Research from restaurants, retail and laboratories may not carry over to your property; these are not ELO case-study results.

How to start

Survey. Proposal. Your decision.

Start with one zone — an area managed together, such as a lobby, spa lounge or workspace — from 490 € / month. Your total depends on zones and features, confirmed in your proposal after the Sensory Survey.

  1. Step 1

    Sensory Survey

    We visit your space and assess light, sound, scent, visuals and air quality on site to understand current conditions. No hardware commitment.

  2. Step 2

    Goals & proposal

    We build a model of your space and establish a starting point for the results you care about, then send a proposal tailored to your space.

  3. Step 3

    Connect & configure

    We connect ELO to compatible building systems and configure your first zone. Equipment needs and installation timing are agreed in your proposal.

  4. Ongoing

    Adapt & report

    ELO adapts the atmosphere continuously. Monthly reports compare results with your starting point, and a rollback switch lets you return to previous settings.

Stay in control: Return to previous settings when needed. Whatever you decide, you keep the findings from your Sensory Survey.

07 — Questions

Your questions, answered.

Which building systems does ELO integrate with?

ELO connects to DALI-2 and DMX lighting, BACnet and KNX building management systems, and existing audio systems. If a feature such as scent is missing, we add discreet equipment rather than rebuild the room.

Do we have to replace our lighting or audio?

No. ELO works with existing DALI/DMX lighting, audio and building management systems. We add discreet equipment where needed, such as for scent, rather than replace the whole system.

Will guests or staff notice the system working?

Changes are designed to be gradual and unobtrusive, typically taking place over minutes. The aim is for people to feel comfortable, rather than notice the system adjusting the room.

How do we measure the difference?

We agree your goals and baseline before installation. After launch, compare relevant measures such as comfort feedback, time spent in the space or energy use. The measures and review period are agreed in your proposal.

What data do you collect, and is it GDPR compliant?

The ELO system collects environmental readings and anonymous occupancy data, not camera images or personal identities. Data is processed on-site in the EU, stays in the EU, and belongs to you. Our security controls are ISO 27001-ready; this does not mean we hold ISO 27001 certification.

What does a project cost?

Starting at 490 € per zone / month. A zone is an area managed together, such as a hotel lobby, spa lounge or workspace. Your monthly total depends on the number of zones and features. After the Sensory Survey, your tailored proposal confirms pricing, hardware, installation and service inclusions.

Which markets do you operate in?

We serve Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the Baltics from Helsinki. Elsewhere in Europe, we work with a local installation partner.
