The Grade II listing of the building presented many challenges to the design and installation team, as decorative cornices and wood panelling could not be disturbed so the installation of wiring routes and DALI cabling required careful consideration and planning.
CPโs RAPID System was specified for the project to control all lighting throughout the building including the roof and external lighting. The project utilises CPโs full RAPID System, comprising 217 DALI gateways and 52 pluggable LCMโs (Lighting Control Modules) plus 500 6pole Vitesse modular LCMโs for the DALI and power to the lights. The installation had to ensure that each rise demise has its own area controller, with 5 riser demises over the 5 floors to allow for control via local occupancy detectors and scene plates along with switches for roof and plant lighting.
CP also supplied 1800 PIRโs and a head-end PC with emergency monitoring to provide full monitoring, testing and reporting which can quickly identify issues with speci๏ฌc luminaires or devices that can be easily recti๏ฌed.
Corridor hold has been used to ensure occupants never walk into unlit spaces and scene setting is available in all o๏ฌces and meeting/conference rooms.The emergency testing procedure is automated with function and duration tests that are set up as a scheduled calendar event. This means a report can be easily generated and exported to Excel for analysis by the FM team, enabling them to ful๏ฌl their due diligence for emergency lighting tests and maintenance.
