Creating a Smarter Office Environment
Devonshire Square required more than a traditional lighting solution. The project demanded a system that could provide precise lighting control across expansive office spaces while also supporting occupant wellbeing and long-term operational efficiency.
The lighting system needed to integrate seamlessly with emergency lighting infrastructure, provide intuitive system management, and deliver dynamic lighting conditions that support productivity throughout the working day. Ensuring reliability, flexibility, and user-friendly control across such a large premium development was a key requirement.
Intelligent DALI-2 Lighting Control
zencontrol implemented a comprehensive DALI-2 lighting control system throughout Devonshire Square, incorporating Application Controllers, relays, PIR sensors, switch interfaces, and scene sets. This intelligent combination of devices enables responsive lighting control across all areas of the building, allowing lighting to automatically adjust based on occupancy and operational schedules.
The system ensures that each floor plate benefits from efficient, adaptable lighting that supports both operational needs and occupant comfort, while maintaining full addressable control and simplified system management.
Human-Centric Circadian Lighting
A key feature of the Devonshire Square installation is the implementation of circadian rhythm lighting throughout the floor plates. The zencontrol system automatically adjusts both colour temperature and light intensity throughout the day, creating a lighting environment that aligns with natural human biological rhythms.
By gradually shifting lighting conditions to reflect natural daylight patterns, the system helps to improve focus, reduce fatigue, and enhance overall wellbeing for occupants. This human-centric approach supports productivity and creates a more comfortable workplace, reinforcing the building’s premium positioning and commitment to modern workplace design.
Simplified Emergency Lighting Management
The lighting system includes a powerful graphical user interface that allows facility managers to schedule emergency lighting tests, monitor system performance, and access detailed emergency lighting reports in real time. The intuitive interface makes it easy to manage system changes, ensuring ongoing compliance and reducing the complexity of building operations.
This streamlined approach provides full visibility and control over the lighting infrastructure, helping building operators maintain reliability and safety while minimising maintenance effort.
Advanced Emergency Lighting Technology
zencontrol also supplied emergency lighting products from the industry-leading Ektor range, incorporating smart charging, soft charging, and LiFePO4 battery technologies. These advanced features improve battery performance, extend product lifespan, and reduce maintenance requirements, ensuring a reliable and efficient emergency lighting solution.
The integration of Ektor emergency lighting with the DALI-2 control system creates a cohesive and high-performance lighting infrastructure that supports both safety and operational efficiency.
Designed for the Future
The Devonshire Square lighting system has been designed with scalability and flexibility in mind, ensuring it can evolve alongside future workplace technologies and operational requirements. The use of open DALI-2 standards and intelligent system architecture provides a future-ready platform capable of supporting smart building integration and long-term sustainability goals.
This forward-thinking approach ensures that Devonshire Square remains a high-performance, adaptable commercial environment for years to come.
