SCHOOL MAINTENANCE & DESIGN making maximum use of natural light.
For the corridor areas of the school, which run nearly the entire length of the two floors, the PD4 was selected. The product is specifically designed to cover long corridors and so fewer devices were required to get full coverage, resulting in a reduction in time and further cost savings for the school.
The building controls, cabling and trunking was designed and installed by Neo System Automation Limited. The company used the B.E.G. lighting sensors as part of an all-encompassing modular I/O WAGO 750 Series building control system, along with other DALI and KNX devices, to control not only lighting but heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) too.
The system monitors conditions in order to provide optimum lighting, temperature, humidity and CO2 levels, all of which have been shown to improve alertness and concentration.
Importantly, with use of the B.E.G. sensors, school staff can manually override the controls and turn the lighting down or off for presentations or showing films, while reducing lighting levels in areas when there is no occupancy at all. Automated controlled systems can reduce energy costs by up to 30 per cent compared to manually controlled systems.
Paul Jones, B.E.G. Sales Director for UK & Ireland, said: “B.E.G. was naturally delighted to work with Neo System Automation Limited on the fantastic new John Keats Primary Free School.
“The PD11 has a very sophisticated design and only .85mm of the device can be seen when built into a ceiling making it virtually invisible so it was ideal for placement in the classrooms and offices. It is very discreet but it still capable of detecting motion and light within an area of up to 9m.
“The PD4 was the most logical product for the corridors as it saved installers lots of time as fewer sensors were needed for this space thanks to the extensive coverage it offers.
“B.E.G. is proud to have been involved with this project which, not only help this new school reduce its energy and save money from day one, but it has assisted in providing the pupils with a wonderful learning environment.”
