SA Power Networks’ IT Offices
Project Details:
Lightlogix was engaged by THG Electrical to create a complex, multi-level lighting control system that utilised DALI addressability and DyNet communication technology for the South Australian Power Networks IT Offices. The clever use of DALI allowed for precise, granular control of the lights, while the DyNet layer enabled communication across the lighting system. The end result was a highly flexible, efficient, and customisable lighting system that could be tailored to the specific needs of the office.
Lightlogix leveraged advanced lighting strategies, utilising occupancy detection to optimise safety, comfort, and energy efficiency in the SAPN IT office. The automated lighting system provides seamless illumination of walkways, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for occupants, even when the office is unoccupied. This solution represents a significant enhancement in safety, comfort, and energy efficiency, and demonstrates Lightlogix‘s commitment to providing innovative, customised solutions.
The system included an opto-isolated DyNet2 Lighting Control Network connecting the Distribution Boards on Ground and Level 1. This network formed a powerful Distributed Intelligence control system, which was programmed with pre-defined behaviours for controlling the lighting in each area of the building areas. The system can distinguish between Office-Hours and After-Hours, and when the workday ends, the lighting in the large open office areas will pulse gently to indicate that it’s about to fade to off. If employees need to stay late, they can use the lighting control panel in their office to request an extension to the lighting, after which the pulse and fade-off will resume.
