Simmtronic supplies lighting controls for Home Office in Sheffield
Simmtronic has supplied SPECS3 fully addressable lighting controls for the fit-out of adjoining buildings J1 and J2 and the link bridge at Riverside Exchange in Sheffield, now occupied by the Home Office.
The buildings are six and seven storeys high, respectively, with a total area of about 18 000 m2.
Open-plan office areas in both buildings have a presence-based lighting-control system with hold functions on notional corridors and stairways. In all small meeting rooms, absence detection control is used, with manual dimming.
The controls in J2 are interfaced with intruder alarms so that floors operate in alarm conditions. In large meeting/training rooms, there is scene setting, absence control and partition interfacing for total flexibility.
Lighting of the link bridge is operated from either side by presence detection.
External lighting around the perimeter, the rooftop garden and feature lights on the underside of the link bridge are operated by a photocell and time clock.
Simmtronic serviced the project from its northern regional office, supplying NG Bailey with a lighting-control system that included Tridonic DSI ballasts and fully addressable LCMs.
