Simmtronic - DALI Lighting Controls for one Exchange Square
Simmtronic was recently commissioned by electrical
contractor Phoenix Electrical to supply its SPECS3
lighting control systems for a refurbishment project at
One Exchange Square - an impressive 12 storey office
building on the Broadgate Estate in the City of London.
The building has recently been acquired by KanAm Grund,
one of Germany’s leading fund managers for open ended
real estate funds and asset manager of international
real estate investments.
Luminaires on the ten refurbished floors of this 385,000
sq.ft. building are being controlled under DALI protocol
by Simmtronic systems, using Tridonic ballasts. For
convenience and ease of maintenance the customer wanted
to avoid all sub-addressing, so throughout the building
Simmtronic’s nine output LCMs have been installed and
configured to one luminaire per port. The DALI controls
feature ballast and lamp failure error feedback
capability to alert facilities and maintenance staff to
replacement requirements. The Simmtronic lighting
control scheme also monitors emergency lighting via
current sensing devices installed within the emergency
luminaires.
For energy saving, the perimeter lights in the building
feature daylight linking, giving controlled dimming in
response to daylight penetration. The cellular offices
have manual on / absence off controls.
Lighting control in the large open plan areas is
predominantly presence based and Simmtronic has provided
a gateway to telephone switching, allowing occupants to
have some personal control over the lighting above their
own workstation. Through the telephone on their desk
they can switch their luminaires on/off and operate
dimming functions.
Simmtronic has established an enviable reputation for
high-reliability lighting controls with a proven track
record in handling large projects to demanding
specification. It has completed more than 600 commercial
projects, providing future-proof, fully addressable
lighting control systems for many of the UK’s largest
and most prestigious corporate developments and has
supplied many of the largest DALI projects to date.
