A Fully Addressable DALI-2 Lighting Control Solution
zencontrol was selected to deliver a fully addressable DALI-2 lighting control system throughout the building, providing a robust and scalable platform capable of supporting both current operational requirements and future tenant demands. The installation includes DALI-2 Application Controllers, DALI-2 Relays, DALI-2 PIR presence sensors, DALI-2 Switch Interfaces and DALI-2 Scene Sets, creating a comprehensive and highly flexible lighting control infrastructure.
By adopting the open DALI-2 standard, every device within the system is individually addressable, enabling precise control and configuration of lighting across all areas of the building. This approach ensures maximum flexibility for space reconfiguration, fit-outs and future expansion, while maintaining consistent performance and reliability across the entire installation.
Intuitive Control Through a User-Friendly Interface
A key element of the zencontrol solution at One Sherwood Street is the intuitive graphical user interface, designed to make lighting control simple and accessible for facilities teams. The interface allows users to make system changes, manage lighting scenes and schedules, and adjust operational settings quickly and easily, without the need for specialist programming knowledge.
In addition to day-to-day control, the interface provides built-in functionality for scheduling emergency lighting tests and viewing detailed emergency lighting test reports. This significantly reduces manual intervention, streamlines compliance processes and gives building operators confidence that statutory requirements are being met.
Supporting Efficiency, Comfort and Sustainability
The integration of DALI-2 PIR presence sensors enables the lighting system to respond intelligently to occupancy, ensuring lighting is only used when and where it is required. This intelligent control strategy helps reduce unnecessary energy consumption while maintaining a comfortable and well-lit environment for occupants, supporting both sustainability objectives and operational cost savings.
By delivering intelligent, responsive lighting control, zencontrol’s solution contributes to a more efficient building that aligns with Landsec’s commitment to high-performance, sustainable commercial developments.
A Future-Ready Lighting Control Platform
The zencontrol installation at One Sherwood Street demonstrates how open-protocol lighting control can enhance the value of high-profile commercial real estate. The DALI-2 system provides a future-proof foundation that can evolve alongside tenant requirements, technology advances and building performance targets.
This project highlights zencontrol’s ability to deliver intelligent, scalable and user-centric lighting control solutions for landmark developments, helping create smarter, more efficient and more adaptable workplaces in some of the most prestigious locations in the world.
