Installation News Jung provides intelligent luxury
Jung has helped to deliver the wow factor to a multi million pound residential development in the desirable Cheshire village of Bowdon. A four-storey Victorian villa, 51 Stamford Road has been completely refurbished by developer, Blueprint to offer an executive home with the very highest standards of accommodation. From the outset, Joanna aimed to incorporate style, comfort and efficiency features that would help set the development apart from its competition in the Manchester commuter belt and she opted for an integrated KNX system from Jung to help her achieve those goals. Integrator, Forumtechnik, has installed a Jung lighting control system at the house which links both the interior and exterior lighting and operates with a combination of sensors, astronomical clock and manual switching/dimming. This is integrated with the central heating and the underfloor heating, the automated blinds, the CCTV system, the security alarm, smoke detectors and fire alarm and the audio visual system, all of which can be
controlled using the simple-to-use Jung touch screen control panel.
The installation is so advanced that the user can even set their home to ‘occupancy simulation’ mode and the KNX system will use data stored from the previous two weeks to simulate ‘normal’ usage of lighting and a/v equipment while they are away. What’s more, when they’re on their way home, the house will go into ‘welcome’ mode as soon as the gates open, switching on the heating and the lights, or they can even dial in to adjust the controls remotely. Joanna Waterhouse from Blueprint says: “At this end of the market, making
Energy savings for Holiday Inn
Energy saving lamps from Megaman (UK) Limited have been used at the Holiday Inn in Newport, South Wales, in order to significantly reduce energy consumption and minimise maintenance costs. The modern three-storey hotel offers 119 bedrooms and also includes an indoor pool and fitness facility. With lighting in the main public areas constantly in use and with running costs at an all time high, Holiday Inn management were aware there could be significant reductions in energy saving and contacted local carbon footprint management specialists Footprintmatters2u for advice. Following an initial survey, it was suggested that a simple change over of lamps into the existing fittings would be the easiest and quickest solution with no change in light output. Survey calculations showed that savings of £10,000 per annum would be achieved by changing the lamps in the corridor, bar, lounge and reception areas which would

equate to 15.74 carbon tonnes. Footprintmatters2u supplied and fitted
a selection of Megaman’s lamps which include energy saving R50 and R63 spotlights which provide a direct replacement for halogen lamps. With minimum heat output compared with halogen lamps, the lamps provide optimum lumen efficacy and can save over 80% of energy. For other areas of the hotel with more decorative fittings, Megaman’s candle lamps were installed. All the Megaman lamps used incorporate the company’s unique Ingenium technology which provides 15,000
hours lifetime and shorter pre-heating time.
Following the installation, hotel manager Paul Ferguson commented: “We are delighted with the savings achieved so far and are now in the process of replacing further lamps within our facility.”

the home exceptional is not just about making it look nice but about creating a bespoke environment for the owner. The Jung KNX system is completely
programmable and totally flexible, allowing the owner to tailor the house to their own requirements and of course it has a wow factor that goes far beyond luxurious fixtures and fittings.”
