SUNSHINE COAST UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: QLD, Australia
Organic Response Sensors: 15,500
Wall Switches: 1,300
KEY PROJECT DELIVERABLES: PLUG-AND-PLAY LIGHTING CONTROL | LOCAL MANUAL OVER-RIDE | LOCAL BMS INTEGRATION
Located on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, this new multi-billion dollar teaching hospital has revolutionised healthcare in the region. Opening its doors on March 2017, patients and staff alike were treated to the very best in human-centric lighting control within corridors, nurse bases, offices, open plan spaces and reception areas. The simplicity of deployment, and scalability of the system architecture, were key attributes leading to the choice of the Organic Response solution.
The Brief:
To deliver a “centrally programmable control system with distributed intelligence linked to pre-set control panels , motion /occupancy sensors and daylight control facilities, interfaced with the BMS. Provide Daytime, evening, weekday and weekend scenarios consistent with operational policies, procedures and hours of operation of each relevant part of the facility. Also required was the ability to enable manual override for disaster recovery or other emergency reasons”.
Project Overview:
INSTALLATION:
Organic Response Lighting Control System was deployed in `60,000 m² of the 165,000 m² hospital, with Organic Response enabled areas including nurse bases, offices, hallways, open plan spaces, receptions & toilets.
Technological Benefits
To achieve all lighting control deliverables with
no control wiring
superior energy savings
increased occupancy comfort; and
whole of life cost savings.
Organic Response’s plug’n’play intelligent control system performed without any need to configure for default operations. With 70 rooms per week handed over to client, the Organic Response system delivered minimal commissioning requirements. BMS integration was achieved through local gateway integration allowing the BMS to implement scene based control of the system.
“The hospital also boasts one of the largest commercial use organic response lighting systems in Australia, automatically adjusting lights in unoccupied or naturally lit areas to significantly reduce carbon emissions.”
