Issue 2 Commercial Solutions

The tomorrow that we have been preparing for is here. It’s leaner. It’s meaner. And thanks to massive changes in the world economy, it’s here early.More than ever, every commercial building project you now undertake needs to be smarter than the one before.

It will need more power to cope with more technology. But lower energy bills to pay for it. Faster data communications for high speed networking. Yet with the capacity to deal with even higher demands inthe future. Your next building project will need to combine natural and artifi cial lighting. Naturally, the less artifi cial, the better.

GREENER, SMARTER, FASTER

And in today’s world of carbon footprints, Green Star ratings and government led energy initiatives, there is every dollar incentive to make every building as green as can be. Tomorrow is here. And that means your thinking needs to be leaner, meaner and greener.

Achieving your energy smart goals is a major challenge for any building design brief. Th at’s where the advantages of dealing with one key supplier who understands your brief is of great benefi t. Established in 1920, the world famous Clipsal brand is Australia’s number one provider of electrical accessories. However, the Clipsal name is also a market leader in data communications, industrial and commercial lighting control markets. Th e Clipsal name features in many of Australia’s most outstanding building projects.

Clipsal’s fl agship product for the commercial sector is the C-Bus Control and Management System. C-Bus provides intelligent lighting control and superior energy management solutions. It is simple to use and easily adapts to future changes. Its track record of saving thousands of dollars in commercial developments speaks for itself. And by saving energy, C-Bus not only saves money but will deliver energy effi ciency goals and contribute to saving the environment too. C-Bus also off ers a platform to create a true integrated building solution with lighting control, climate control, security and more. To achieve this, Clipsal has formed the C-Bus Entente program, and alliance with third party manufacturers to ensure their products are C-Bus compatible.

OFFICES ANDBOARDROOMS

In business every dollar is getting harder to make. Even during your most productive periods, overheads such as electricity, heating and cooling, continue to eat into your profit margins. And with the costs of energy continuing to rise, saving a dollar by using energy wisely makes smart business sense. The Government too is offering incentives for building owners to make new offices as energy efficient as they can be. That’s where Clipsal’s extensive range of energy saving products can help you win back those wasted dollars spent in over lighting the office or leaving lights on in unattended areas. And when you add these energy savings all up, your balance sheet will look a lot better.

Minimising overheads through effi cient use of energy is now an important part of maximising profi ts in any business. C-Bus can maximise those effi ciencies in any offi ce and help earn valuable Green Star energy ratings. With light level sensors, the system can be designed to take advantage of ambient light levels and utilise only the minimum necessary amount of lighting, saving energy and money. When the offi ces are vacated, C-Bus will automatically turn lights off aft er a timeout period set in the control and monitoring soft ware.

Low traffi c areas do not need to be permanently lit. Use C-Bus occupancy sensors to light up those areas only when needed. If a staff member is working back late, C-Bus occupancy sensors will automatically override any preset program to provide safe pathway lighting.

Is your offi ce layout likely to change in the future? C-Bus off ers you the fl exibility to re-program lighting groups to accommodate future requirements to the offi ce space such as new offi ce structures, partitions, and new open plan desk confi gurations.

By careful planning and design, the return on investment is maximised, providing substantial savings through reduced energy consumption and maintenance. In addition, C-Bus can be integrated into a complete building management system incorporating access control, heating and cooling, security, lift s and more.

Seek is Australia’s number one job website for staff recruitment. An award winning employer in its own right, Seek has a progressive reputation which it was keen to demonstrate with its new Melbourne head offi ce. Th e brief was to create a friendly, non-conservative offi ce interior in St Kilda Road’s corporate environment. Th e designer’s response was to create a functional and pragmatic, yet aesthetically inspired layout. Feature lights and fl uid furnishings are points of attraction in the level six reception and boardroom and bold furniture designs feature in the meeting rooms and games room. Th ese rooms are all controlled by C-Bus to create preset lighting

modes that complement natural light levels, timers that automatically close lights in unoccupied areas to save energy and reduce power bills. Th e project was recognised by winning the 2008 MBA VIC award for Best Sustainable Project.

Seeking an energy smart solution


Adapting to your workspace needs Today’s offi ce place is constantly changing. All too oft en there is a need to revise offi ce layouts, accommodate extra workstations and maximise any available space, and usually at short notice. Meanwhile, the need for power and data communications in the offi ce space has never been greater. However, making changes to a fi xed wiring installation is expensive, time consuming and oft en inconvenient. Ideally, the power and data infrastructure should be highly adaptable and fl exible to meet every conceivable offi ce need. And that’s where a Moduline M3 soft wiring option can provide

Powerful medicineTh e new fi t-out for Janssen-Cilag, the pharmaceutical arm of Johnson & Johnson in Sydney’s North Ryde business park, is a remarkably innovative approach to issues of light, transparency and offi ce lay-out.

Moving into brand new premises provided the opportunity to create an employee friendly work environment, while maximising energy effi ciencies. Th e building design featured spacious glazed corner winter gardens on each fl oor, as well as 3.6 metre fl oor-to-ceiling glass façades on the southern side. With this degree of natural light, having lights on throughout the day would not only be pointless, but also a waste of energy. So it made sense for the Janssen-Cilag fi t-out, designed by Futurespace, as well as the entire six-storey base building by Nettleton Tribe, to incorporate a dimmable lighting system as part of the lighting controls.

C-Bus provides control of the perimeter lighting to operate without artifi cial lighting during the day and when the natural daylight drops below the minimum levels in the offi ce, the light slowly dims up, maintaining a constant illumination at the workstations for occupant comfort while reducing energy consumption.

Q Automation was responsible for the implementation of C-Bus lighting control and its integration with other services, such as lift s. C-Bus Schedule Plus soft ware was installed on a central building management computer to control the lighting for each of the six tenant fl oors as well as the common areas according to programmable time schedules, with manual out-of hours override.

Window dressingA common problem in today’s offi ces is the correct identifi cation and labelling of power and data outlet circuits. Th e use of sticker labels or plastic identifi cation studs on wall plates are common, but these methods are unattractive and can be potentially hazardous because the labels can be tampered with or removed. Clipsal’s unique window labelling system provides a sleek, professional fi nish.

Thinking outside the squareTh e award winning Clipsal Titanium Data Cabinets were designed to complement contemporary offi ce designs and fi t in with the open plan layouts rather than be relegated to a service room along with other ancillary offi ce equipment.

Tight for space?Clipsal Titanium Flexiport data wall plates are perfect for accessing data in areas of limited access such as alongside desk areas. Over time, patch cords can sag into a position that exceeds the minimum bend radius. Th e Flexiport wall plate incorporates a full 90o fi eld of adjustment, providing a solution that minimises the occurrence of overstressed patch cords, providing long-term network reliability.

Automatic light switching for the offi ceFor larger offi ce spaces, Clipsal’s range of Ultrasonic Occupancy Sensors have a 360° fi eld of view, and are designed to conveniently and economically control lighting such as open plan offi ces and long corridors and hallways.

Total connectivity Today’s boardrooms and workstations need to accommodate a wide range of technology needs. Powerpoint presentations, video conferencing, Internet meetings and training seminars are all but commonplace in today’s offi ce environment. However, identifying the correct audiovisual and communications ports can be time consuming and frustrating for staff , particularly when they are unfamiliar with the equipment they are attempting to plug into. Th at’s where the Epic Organiser provides staff members with one total port to dock their laptops, MP3 players, digital cameras, DVD players and more. No longer do staff have to unplug cables from the back of televisions and computer equipment.

Th e stylish new black and white desktop models provide a central point of control for any C-Bus system. C-Bus Touch Screens are able to perform schedules, activate scenes and be integrated with building management services and systems.

Identity crisisOffi ce servers can quickly turn into a spaghetti mess of cables, particularly where changes and additions to offi ce layouts are frequent. Th is makes it all the harder for IT personnel to identify cables causing greater disruption to the offi ce place as changes to the network system need more time and eff ort to complete. Clipsal Titanium patch panels have built in label holders with LAN, VOIP, phone and fax icons to make identifying outlets much easier.

Power upModuline service columns provide a simple attractive means of distributing power, telephone and data to remote locations. Th ese are ideal for open plan offi ce spaces, particularly where centrally located work-stations require power and data access.

Surround powerTh e TAL Series skirting ducts are an ideal way of providing access to power, voice and data around the entire perimeter of the offi ce. To enhance their low profi le design, the TAL Series is powdercoated in a choice of colours. Th e ‘three division’ design incorporates separate compartments for power, voice and data cables.

Bring your data up to speedShut down your offi ce’s voice and data communications and you may as well shut the business. No offi ce can function adequately if the data products are not up to speed. Clipsal can provide every offi ce with a full end to end solution including Cat 6 data transmission, data cabinets, data jacks and ports. A Cat 6 solution provides full phone, fax, email and Internet services as well as audiovisual and teleconferencing facilities for conference rooms.


RETAILAND SOCIAL

Shop fit-outs are the retailer’s secret weapon to creating a memorable shopping experience for customers. And it’s not just about imported tiles, back-breaking lounge chairs and supermodel shop assistants. Lighting, music and audio visual displays all play a vital role in establishing the shop’s brand and attitude, enticing customers with a bright and inviting environment.In these retail environments C-Bus can be designed to provide a mix of localised light control as well as master control.

In rest rooms, sensors are the perfect solution to maximise lighting energy effi ciencies and reduce power bills. In larger or multi-storey centres, C-Bus can utilise natural lights levels to further save energy costs. In addition, C-Bus also provides one platform to integrate and control air conditioning, escalators and lift s, security and irrigation and more, on one pre-programmed network instead of separate controls. Th is also gives building management staff the ability to monitor the system.

Many shopping centres now feature dedicated play areas for children. Th ese areas require bright lighting while inhouse restaurant and café areas require soft er lighting. With an increasing trend towards self-serve, downlights are carefully designed to throw light on labels and price tags.

Zoom zoom show roomCompleted in September 2008, Reynella Mazda is the third largest Mazda dealership in South Australia and also the fastest growing. Located south west of Adelaide in the heart of the city’s mortgage belt, the new dealership was built from new with a 20 year plan to cater for the future needs of the area.

Th e dealership wants for nothing. It has a capacity to hold over 100 vehicles outside, and 80 vehicles inside in an underground car park plus another ten vehicles on the showroom fl oor. Th e facility also boasts a service centre, waiting area, parts storage area, board room, two managers offi ces and one open plan offi ce for three staff .

All showroom lighting is provided by compact fl uorescent downlights recessed into the ten metre high ceiling cavity and controlled by C-Bus. Th e electrical design was undertaken by Lucid Consulting while the electrical fi t-out, C-Bus installation and commissioning was carried out by Boff a & Russo. All 45 lights throw task lighting to the cars below. Lighting commences at

7am before staff arrive. Th roughout the day C-Bus photoelectric sensors will determine the lighting levels according to the sunlight fi ltering through the expansive fl oor to ceiling glass windows that face east and south. Th ere are few wall switches in the building. Other than in the board room as nearly all lighting is pre programmed. However provision for override is via a C-Bus Saturn Touch Screen located in a centralised location.

Access to the touch screen is password secure and the on screen menu allows quick identifi cation of the lighting zones and rooms located through the building and simple process of disarming sensors or overriding of existing programmes. Sensors are located in the offi ces and toilets and will automatically time lights out when unattended. External signage and fl ood lights are also controlled by C-Bus and are designed to activate at dusk while every light (other than security lights) turn off at 1am in the morning.

Th e installation is an excellent example of how C-Bus can provide eff ortless lighting control with virtually no wall switches, yet user friendly provision for manual override. Lighting is used to great eff ect, yet only the minimum necessary amount of lighting is ever used, totally maximizing energy savings.

Wired for soundEvery retailer knows that music infl uences a customer’s shopping habits. Clipsal’s Audio Solutions is a discreet way of providing background music to various parts of the shop fl oor. A C-Bus version known as C-Bus Multi-Room Audio is also available and can be fully integrated as part of the automation network. Simply press one button to activate lighting, air-conditioning, music and audio-visual displays and screens at once.

Reynella Mazda features preprogrammed lighting inside and out.


Light showMetal halide downlight kits come complete with 35W lamps and electronic non-dimming control gear. Th ese fi ttings are suitable for commercial and retail applications by off ering a lamp with a higher lumen output (65 lumens/watt) and 6000hr lamp life, 3000K temp.

Energy saving lights Compact fl uorescent round downlights feature a faceted aluminium refl ector. Th ese are horizontally mounted tiltable lampholders designed for ease of lamp replacement. But their main benefi t is their long lamp life off ering up to 10,000 hours. Which also reduces energy usage.

A new benchmark in style Clipsal’s 250V Saturn range is a premium range of electrical accessories. Designed with input from architects, Saturn is widely regarded as the best looking switch of its type in the world due to its combination of glass look switchplates and round push-buttons. Th e range is extensive and includes power outlets, data outlets, dimmers and downlights.

Keeping your power needs in lineElectrical retail stores will typically feature banks of TVs, stereos and appliances fully working and on display. Th e power and TV cable required to operate these can create a genuine mess and safety hazard. Moduline’s WM1 panel is a fully pre-wired power rail that provides all the power and TV connection points needed in a fully contained and streamlined package. When the display is changed or dismantled, the panel is simply removed and confi gured into a new display - no permanent wiring is needed.

High powered dimmingIn order to control so many downlights and display lights, you really need to have a high powered dimmer such as the Clipsal C-Bus Professional Series. Th e dimmers are the perfect complement to your architectural lighting goals and can be used to create great lighting eff ects. Th ese rugged high quality dimmers utilise advanced phase control switching to ensure cool operation and high reliability.

Sunset switchesTh e sun will never go down on your shop with a sunset switch. Th ese will keep your name up in lights all year round and are also an eff ective security measure to deter vandalism, graffi ti and theft . Sunset Switches turn on automatically when natural light levels fall below a pre-set level, then switch off again when the sun comes up.

Power on displayStrategically placed powerpoints are a great way to provide mains power to light up temporary displays and shop windows. Th is saves customers from tripping over unsightly cables and potential litigation.

Power boardsCustomers these days are accustomed to seeing wall to wall televisions and shelves of electrical appliances in operation. Don’t power them up with messy powerboards and double adaptors that could potentially create a hazard. To provide all the power you need, ensure you have enough access to power. Beyond the popular twin powerpoint, Clipsal manufactures quad powerpoints as well as a version called Gangbusters® with extra space to accommodate oversized plugs and chargers.


Big W Oft en inconspicuous, but then again that’s its job, Moduline cable ducting conceals and protects the all important power and data cable that feeds the vast network of Big W’s cash registers, linked to both local and centralised offi ces throughout Australia. Standard power poles are used for check-out stations. Big W is also pioneering a ‘self-checkout’ system where shoppers scan their own goods and pay via credit card. Here customised ducting poles have been designed to integrate the bar code scanner. Big W has a comprehensive high defi nition plasma and LCD TV display area where up to 50 TVs are featured in one integrated panel. In order to avoid a spaghetti mess of power and antenna cabling, Moduline custom designed a re-locatable tower rail system to conceal and segregate cabling. Th e design enables a neat and effi cient layout that allows simple and quick changes.

Data to goEven in the retail space, data plays a vital role. Many businesses are linked online to their head offi ce, branch outlets and to warehouses to check stock levels, cash fl ows, orders and more, all in real time. A Cat 6 data cabling solution allows vast amounts of online traffi c to ensure safe, reliable and high speed transmission.

Get connected with SaturnTh e Stunning new Clipsal Saturn Range extends beyond just wall switches and power outlets. Clipsal Saturn Communication Wall Plates are also architecturally designed, giving you easy access to television, audio, communications and data without compromising on looks.

Automation to the hiltTh e Hilton Adelaide is regarded as one of South Australia’s leading hotels, providing luxury accommodation and conference facilities to thousands of guests from around the globe each year. In recent years the hotel has undergone a progressive refurbishment to its function areas specifying Clipsal’s C-Bus Control and Management System. A recent addition has been the inclusion of Clipsal Architectural Dimmers, specifi cally designed to control large numbers of lights. Th e new dimmers have been used extensively for the hotel’s level one balcony function rooms which are illuminated by a mix of dichroic lights and tracklights.

Th e lights are dimmed to preset lighting levels according to the type of function eg. parties, business presentation, exhibitions and more. C-Bus 360o occupancy sensors turn lights off aft er 30 minutes of the last person leaving. A touch screen located in each room allows for manual override of lighting, control of blinds, access into and out of rooms and even a coff ee paging service.

C-Bus is also programmed for lighting control in the hotel’s major function room venues, the Victoria Room as well as the Grand Ball Room. Impressive dimming capabilities are featured in both venues. Even the light box table in the Victoria Room’s waiting area is controlled by C-Bus. Th e same coff ee and tea service function is also off ered in the 550 seat Grand Ball Room. However here, C-Bus’ most impressive feature is its ability to create dramatic lighting eff ects with the room’s fl oor to ceiling steel mesh wall curtains which can

change from subtle to striking textures when lit. Both venues off er full audiovisual capabilities featuring DMX control and these are fully integrated with C-Bus to create perfectly synchronised lighting and AV control.

Without any disruption to proceedings, guests using the balcony rooms can advise staff when to prepare coff ee and refreshments via the touch screen.

Keeping air fresherExhaust fans perform a vital function in bathroom and laundry areas. Th eir simple function eliminates unwanted odours and condensation, keeping these areas fresh and free of moisture. Clipsal can provide a model for any type of application including ceiling, wall and window mounted options as well as ducted fans for areas with suspended ceilings or restricted roof cavity space. Clipsal has recently introduced a new low profi le square exhaust fan to complement the latest trends in bathroom design.

Many people would argue that radiant bathroom heaters are also vital in bathroom areas. Combining heat, light and exhaust functions, Clipsal manufactures both two and four heat lamp models for ensuite and main bathrooms. Automatic models are also available with built in humidity sensors that turn the fan on and off as needed.

Catering for businessMost hotels pride themselves on their function rooms and facilities. Th ese need to be well-appointed to cater for a variety of business needs including presentations, meetings, video conferencing, corporate lunches and training seminars. A professionally designed and integrated control system like C-Bus can provide one touch control so that everything works in unison, fi rst time and every time.

A close shaveInternational guests will typically bring with them electric shavers rated at 110V. Don’t let this get in the way of a close shave. Clipsal shaver outlets can accommodate most variations in voltage that you are ever likely to encounter.

Clipsal Titanium data cabinetsEvery function room requires Clipsal Titanium data communications to provide Internet and email access plus video conferencing capability. C-Bus lighting control can be interfaced with popular AMX® and Crestron® colour touch screens to provide a seamless and cost eff ective automation solution.

Down to businessWinner of the 2007 Australian Tourism Awards for best Deluxe Accommodation, Melbourne’s Crown Promenade Hotel features spacious rooms with fantastic views overlooking Port Phillip Bay, the CBD and Yarra River. Its ideal position marks the Crown Promenade as one of Melbourne’s leading venues for functions. Th e Crown Conference Centre features clean lines, natural light in all meeting rooms including the latest audiovisual technology. Able to host conferences for up to 750 guests and cocktail parties for 2500, Crown Conference Centre also caters for small meetings, seminars, product launches and exhibitions.

C-Bus was specifi ed to control lighting and dimming in all public areas including meeting rooms and function areas. Using a combination of touch screens, DLTs and architectural dimmers, C-Bus provides one touch preset scenes, ideal for presentations, guest speakers or major functions. As the

meeting rooms all feature natural light and can be divided to suit a wide range of confi gurations, C-Bus light level sensors take advantage of ambient light levels to ensure only the minimum necessary of lighting is used to provide energy savings.

Access all areasHotel conference venues need to be versatile. One day a function is booked for an exhibition, the following evening could be a wedding. Moduline fl oor boxes are perfect for providing requests for communications facilities such as ISDN, Ethernet, telephone lines and fax, or simply to provide mains power for the DJ or band.

EDUCATION ANDCHILDCARE

Sustainable development is the new lesson contemporary school design is teaching. Intelligent thought to facilities and space has a direct beneficial impact on the development of our young and their outlook to conservation. Sustainable design principles also result in reduced energy costs, an important consideration in view of the rising costs of school education. C-Bus can minimise lighting energy in class rooms, libraries and recreational facilities and demonstrate to parents that tuition dollars are not being spent illuminating vacant classrooms but instead being invested into more important resources.

Future generations can grow up in an energy conscious environment where lighting energy is minimised with the use of light sensors and occupancy sensors to provide minimum necessary levels of lighting - and lighting only when it is needed. In larger classroom areas and auditoriums, C-Bus provides vastly superior lighting control than conventional wiring systems.

Lights can be dimmed across vast areas with the touch of a preset button. Auditoriums and stage lighting can be used for a sporting event one minute and a theatrical event the next. Th is includes full integration with theatre specifi c control systems such as AMX® and touch screen technology such as Crestron®.

Retractable seating is oft en a feature of these areas. C-Bus can integrate these controls or alternatively isolate the control of the power to the seating to prevent accidental operation.

C-Bus can also be programmed to control ceiling fans that may be located in class rooms and recreational rooms.

Th ese can be programmed to a safe minimum level to prevent burn out when restarting. Where multi-way switching is required, C-Bus can be simply programmed to perform designated tasks.

In addition, if changes need to be made to the lighting system in the future, these can virtually be done at the master control panel. With a conventional mains-wired system, this could mean major rewiring and disruption to a school’s busy schedule.

Exceptional data gradesWithout exception, every school, college or learning centre has a dedicated computer centre or facility. It is not uncommon to fi nd a data infrastructure catering for many hundreds of data outlets and a networking system for the entire school. For many of these situations, a fi bre optic or

Cat 6 solution will provide a neat, easy and workable solution that provides the network integrity needed to cater for a wide range of users.

However, where many hundreds of data points are required and frequent moves and changes are anticipated to the RJ45 data installation, this can result in reduced performance and a spaghetti mess of cables that are diffi cult to identify. In these instances, Clipsal Titanium Data Patch Panels have built in label holders to make identifi cation much easier.

Long life lightingWith traditional incandescent light bulbs facing extinction, upgrade light fi ttings to Clipsal’s new range of CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamp) downlights. Th ese provide the same amount of light as incandescent bulbs while only using a quarter of the energy. Th ese are ideal for any area that will require lights left on for long periods of time.

Bright sparksTh e Queensland Academy of Science, Maths and Technology is a state school for high performing students in years 10 to 12. Based in Toowong and opened in January of 2007, the Academy is an example of the Sunshine State's commitment to energy effi ciency in new building projects.

Th e Academy uses Clipsal C-Bus® to control the signifi cant lighting used throughout the facility. Chosen for its reliability and ability to deliver energy savings, Clipsal C-Bus® enables the Academy to minimise their energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions.

Th e sound planning and design techniques used have resulted in a lighting system which saves time (requiring a minimum of interaction), is user-friendly and energy effi cient. Th e system uses C-Bus Pascal Automation Controllers (PACs) for scheduling and logic. Lights and ceiling fans are automatically switched off in the evening when rooms are unoccupied. Classroom lighting is maintained at optimum levels using C-Bus light level sensors linked to DSI controlled luminaires.

Daylight harvesting is implemented; when natural sunlight is available lights are automatically dimmed, reducing power costs.

Corridor lighting is linked to classrooms to ensure that the corridor is lit if any classroom is in use. Th is provides a safe environment during aft er hours operation and maintains energy effi ciency by switching off lights aft er the last classroom has been vacated. Even the three hundred seat lecture theatre utilises C-Bus scenes to dim the lights for video projection at the touch of a button. Th is creates an easy transition in any presentation while saving power with lower lighting levels.

In today’s world of hospitality and entertainment, successful restaurateurs and function centre managers strive to distinguish themselves by creating an unforgettable experience for their guests. And it’s not always about fine food and a great wine list. Décor, a room’s perspective and of course lighting all play a valuable role in making the experience a memorable one.

With pure glass Saturn wall switches and touch screens, intelligent scenes, ease of control and the addition of new and powerful Professional and Architectural dimmers, Clipsal C-Bus can off er you a complete hospitality lighting control solution. Clipsal C-Bus can create the ambience in any restaurant or function centre through remarkable levels of lighting control.

Forget banks of wall switches and dimmers. Not only do they clash with décor, they are also confusing to identify and frustrating to operate. More oft en they demand constant manual attention, usually by an operator familiar with the switching arrangement. Replace all of this with a simple C-Bus Colour Touch Screen. Pre-program all of the lighting sequences including preset dimming and activate with the touch of a single button. It’s that easy. Put your light fi ttings to good use. Dim areas of your nightclub to create spaces and emphasise any eff ect lighting.

All you can dim Function rooms need to off er their clients great versatility. One moment they are booked for a business seminar, the next for the offi ce ball.

C-Bus Architectural Dimmers are totally compatible and can ensure seamless control in any environment. Th ey are purposefully designed to dim large numbers of lights and will help you realise the architectural lighting eff ects you are trying to achieve.

LED lighting Compared to regular incandescent bulbs, LED light globes last an incredibly long time and cost next to nothing in running, maintenance and replacement costs. Th ey are also extremely energy effi cient, resulting in less wasted electricity and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions being created.


Which switchIn the past, multi switching and dimming in function rooms featured banks of confusing wall switches. If lucky, a switch might have featured an engraved label but more oft en than not, switching depended on key staff members knowing which switch performed what function and trial and error to those less familiar with the set-up. With C-Bus Dynamic Labelling Technology, every staff member can see exactly what each switch does.

Gold service. Green attitude.Th e Adelaide Convention Centre enjoys a global reputation for excellence and is consistently ranked among the world’s top convention centres. Th is reputation is the result of superior products and world class facilities, constant maintenance of exceptional standards and the eff orts of dedicated staff to ensure the superb conduct of every event held at the Centre. Th e ACC also claims to be the ‘greenest’ conference destination in Australia, and the Adelaide Convention Centre is working towards becoming the nation’s most environmentally responsible convention centre. Technology plays a key part in achieving this status.

Th e centre has partnered with the Trees for Life carbon off set program. Waste minimization has been an important area of change, keeping rubbish out of landfi ll and recycling 90% of waste using a Biobin system to separate food scraps and mix with green garden waste for composting

and mulching. Candle wax is reused and all glass bottles, plastic bottles, corks and bottle tops are recycled.

Even in the centre’s main restaurant, Regattas, there is no manual keying in of orders. Orders are taken with hand held PDAs and touch screens to process orders through to the kitchen and servery areas. Even kitchen and servery areas in function centres have gone hi-tech with their data.

It is not uncommon for some venues to deliver 4,000 servings in as little as 15 minutes. To achieve that frantic pace, steam and heat ovens are fi tted with LCD screens providing temperature and timer functions and will indicate if an oven door is open, and the percentage of steam in the oven to provide the exact cooking status. Chefs can inspect this at remotely located video terminals.

World class data facilitiesTo ensure effi cient and high speed lines of communication, the ACC decided to employ the latest data communications technology, insisting on the use of Patch by Exception technology to provide the fl exibility to match the ever changing communications needs of its customers.

Th e centre provides the following communications facilities to its clients: ISDN, Ethernet, telephone lines, fax, ovens, RS485, security and building management. Th ere are 83 fl oor boxes in the main hall area providing these facilities to customers. Cat 6 Cable is run from the fl oor boxes to four separate communications rooms (plus another seven smaller communication areas) where Clipsal’s Patch by Exception frames are located. Th e ACC employs two full time technicians to service the communication areas. In its ‘normal status,’ the Patch by Exception network is already patched. However, the normal network can change from day to day.

Th e beauty of a Patch by Exception system is the speed in which the network can be reversed back to its normal status. Th e patch leads are simply removed and the task is done.

GOVERNMENTAND PUBLIC FACILITIES

In determining what is an acceptable level of energy usage in commercial buildings, Australian Federal and State Governments are leading by example. In fact throughout Australia, no government department will occupy a building rated less than four GBCA green stars. Even in established buildings, landlords are being asked to deliver on these energy rating requirements and more. No building can be ‘too green’.

Th ere is no government project that can not benefi t by the addition of a C-Bus system. Regardless of the lighting objectives, whether it be superior lighting control or to maximise lighting energy effi ciencies, C-Bus excels in both criteria. In public service buildings, C-Bus can be integrated with heating and cooling systems to provide a total energy effi cient solution. In every complex C-Bus can eff ortlessly provide the exacting levels of light and dimming control that a conventional lighting system would struggle to match.

Saving energy in the nation’s capitalLocated within the Parliamentary triangle of Barton, ACT the new Attorney General's Department at 3-5 National Circuit is an energy effi cient architectural landmark for the nation’s capital. It’s imposing exterior conceals the latest advances in energy effi cient design which has helped the four level offi ce achieve an impressive 4.5 green star rating for energy effi ciency designs.

Th e most noticeable indication of its best practise status is distinguished by an impressive 1000m2 of atrium space that allows plenty of natural light and warmth to fi lter into the 20,000m2 work space area over the four levels. Further energy saving initiatives include rain water harvesting, low air temperature cooling system and

Intelligent building automationTh e installation of Clipsal’s C-Bus Control and Management System ensures energy effi cient use of lighting throughout any building. Clipsal works closely with electrical consultants to create a lighting management solution that meets all aspects of the building design brief.

Lighting can be activated via a combination of manual switching and automatic control through the use of time scheduling, light level and occupancy sensors, all controlled by C-Bus.

Energy effi cient fl uorescent dimming is used wherever possible, with minimal use of incandescent lighting.

Towering energy savingsOccupying Lovett Tower, the tallest building in Canberra, the Department of Veteran Aff airs decided on a complete refurbishment of it’s lighting system. Th is was prompted by the Commonwealth’s requirement that new and renewing tenancies meet energy effi ciency standards including a 4.5 Star NABERS performance criteria. Th e existing lighting fi t-out was approximately 10 years old and comprised white painted luminaires with combinations of 2 x 36W and 2 x 18W fl uorescent lamps. Th e existing illumination power density was approximately 18W/m2, well above the nominal maximum level of 10W/m2 required by the Building Code of Australia and resulted in signifi cant over illumination.

EES (Effi cient Energy Systems) acted as consultants, luminaire designers and suppliers for the upgrade. Th e team retro-fi tted the existing luminaires with a single fl uorescent lamp, electronic ballast, KW/2 refl ector, and opalescent diff user. Th e installation was completed progressively through the 20 levels removing the existing lamps, lamp holders, ballast and wiring harness.

Exit this wayTh ese emergency lights not only help you make a quick exit but now feature cold cathode lamps as well as LEDs to conserve energy and long lamp life, ready for action whenever needed.

Best of both worldsCommon areas such as tea rooms, bathrooms or any area requiring lighting left on for long periods, are ideal locations for compact fl uorescent downlights. Th ese combine aluminium refl ectors with fl uorescent lamps to off er a good combination of bright lighting and energy savings. For existing buildings, replace any incandescent light fi tting with these and reduce lighting bills.

For further informationvisit clipsal.com tosee County Court Case Study

Energy consumed by each luminaire was reduced by over 60% and the lighting scheme now meets the recommendations of Australian standard AS/NZ1680 for lighting design and signifi cantly exceeds the Building Code of Australian benchmarks.

Green networkingGo green with your data communications. Clipsal Titanium Cat 6 Cable (4pair LAN) is now available with low smoke zero halogen cable surround. Th is emits little if any smoke and no halogens if exposed to high sources of heat.

Day in day outTh ere’s no better light for the workplace than the Clipsal Tbar Diff used electronic lights. Th ese are the mainstay of offi ces around the world. Triphosphor lamps give off bright light while the diff user keeps glare under control.


No one in business today can afford to burn a dollar. But they do. Every light left on in an empty warehouse or unoccupied part of the factory, represents wasted watts of energy that could have gone to the positive side of the balance sheet. Everyone should take responsibility with some simple steps to ensure their operation is making the most of their energy when they need it and minimizing it when they don’t. Consider it an investment in the profitability of your operation. A C-Bus system can take can advantage of the available natural light provided by windows and skylights. Does all the warehouse need to be permanently lit? Are common areas always occupied? Do you need to have external security lighting permanently on all night? Why not combine sunset switches and motion sensors to kick in to provide lighting only when needed. With the escalating costs of lighting energy, the payback goals will be sooner than you think.

Refl ect on the savingsTake a moment to consider how old the light fi xtures in your building are? If more than 10 years old, those lights are adding more to your overheads than you realise. Lamps, electronic control gear and lighting refl ector technology have made great advancements in recent years.

Combine energy effi cient lamps and KW/2 light refl ectors and you can not only halve the number of lamps you are currently using but improve the light levels as well. Effi cient Energy Systems can help deliver a higher star rating for your building.

Save up to 30% on power consumption with the Clipsal Energy Controller. It works by initially supplying the standard 240V of power to the lamp. Once the lamps have warmed up the energy controller reduces the voltage applied to the lighting by approximately 15% without noticeably changing the light level. Th e more lamps you have the greater the savings you will make. Ideal for car parks and large spaces.

Perfect industrial blendWolf Blass Wines International fi rst began back in 1973 in an old army shed outside Nuriootpa, situated at the northern end of the Barossa Valley.

Oh what a feelingWhen automotive parts distributor Toyota Tsusho Australasia decided to upgrade to new purpose built premises in South Australia, builder Ahrens Group contracted Tip Top Electrical Services to design and construct an environmentally conscious lighting solution that would save on energy and running costs.

Toyota Tsusho’s South Australian operations are based in their impressive 15,000m2 storage facility complete with extensive racking to ensure optimal logistical performance and upkeep of stock.

Downtime is a dirty word in business. When the pressure to perform is on and there are unexpected stoppages in production caused by faulty electrical switchgear only then do you really understand that time is money.

Tip Top Electrical Services installed 165 x 450W metal halide highbays at Toyota Tsusho’s warehouse, which are divided into seven zones. Th e highbays incorporate 2-stage step dimming control gear. Each zone is controlled with 2 C-Bus relay channels in conjunction with a C-Bus light level sensor. Natural light from the warehouse’s skylights allows the artifi cial lighting to be reduced via the step dimming resulting in maximum lighting effi ciency. Programmed functions through C-Bus include ‘all on’, ‘50% dimmed’ or ‘all off ’ dependent upon the natural light level.

Th e light level sensors have been programmed to allow for short changes in natural light such as cloud cover. In this instance, the lights remain at their existing level for a predetermined time before the step dimming is initiated either up or down.

Toyota Tsusho is very pleased with the installation and are now realizing the benefi ts of reduced energy consumption resulting in signifi cant monetary savings. Th rough the use of intelligent lighting design and Clipsal C-Bus, Toyota Tsusho can expect to enjoy up to a 50% saving on their energy costs when compared to standard lighting fi t outs.

Innovator not imitatorFor over 25 years Clipsal’s range of 56 Series industrial switchgear has been unchallenged as Australia’s toughest and most preferred switchgear. And for good reason. Th e 56 Series is specifi cally designed to withstand the harsh rigours of the Australian climate including heat, dust and rain year aft er year. Th e 56 Series is also impact resistant.

However, should your switchgear come off second best against a forklift , trolley or reversing truck, the 56 Series modular design means that your maintenance electricians only need to replace the damaged component, minimising down-time and costs.

Australians are obsessed with sport. And the bigger the sporting occasion the better. The opportunity to host a major international event is seen as an opportunity to pave the way for massive refurbishments of hallowed sporting venues. Great emphasis is placed on improving spectator comfort, visibility and quick access to and from the venue to not only heighten the fan’s experience but lure patrons from watching the match telecast from the comforts of home. These venues also depend heavily on the corporate dollar for income. In turn, sponsors expect high levels of refinement to justify their investment. In many of these refurbishments throughout Australia and indeed the world’s most famous sporting landmarks, you will find C-Bus providing outstanding lighting control and energy savings.

Lighting the ‘G’Th e MCG is Australia’s and one of the world’s most sacred sporting sites. Home of the Boxing Day Test Match, AFL Grand Final and countless international sporting contests, there is no other ground in Australia quite like the ‘G’, particularly when a capacity crowd of 100,000 spectators are in full voice.

In the four years leading up to the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games, the MCG decided on a major redevelopment of the northern side, about 55 per cent of the ground - embracing the Ponsford and Olympic Stands and the MCG Members Pavilion.

Great emphasis was placed on utilising natural light including transparent walls at the entrances of gates one, two and three, with each featuring a grand atrium. Capping the new stand is a hybrid roof, part metal and part glass to increase the brightness of seating areas. To take advantage of the natural light levels, yet provide suffi cient access lighting for patrons as evening approaches, C-Bus was specifi ed in zones throughout the Northern Stand. Installed by Downer Engineering, C-Bus light level sensors complement natural light automatically ramping up as natural light levels fade. By keeping lighting levels to the minimum necessary, signifi cant energy savings are gained.

As the Melbourne Commonwealth Games approached, the event organisers wished to create a ‘black-out scene’ across the entire stadium during the opening ceremony. C-Bus was installed into Th e Great Southern Stand to achieve this total eff ect.

Th e programming and operation of the C-Bus System for the MCG is very user friendly, and designed in such a way as to prevent problems during operation. Th e system is programmed using the C-Bus Schedule Plus soft ware package while the graphical representation of the system, created by Convergent Technologies, is also presented in a clear, well thought out design to eliminate confusion and increase user friendliness. One of the special features of the MCG C-Bus fi t out is that the C-Bus System runs on a shared network with a Citect SCADA monitoring system that records data on every aspect of power management and usage.

Th ese VIP areas are now regarded as distinct venues in their own right for sponsors to impress and entertain their customers at hotel levels of refi nement and comfort. Even members’ areas are being repositioned as exclusive places for dining, entertaining and to listen to guest speakers. C-Bus can enhance the experience with touch screen control of these facilities, providing preset levels of dimming for corporate guests and members to enjoy eg. pre match mode, game mode, dining mode, game over, etc…

City of lightsTh e magnifi cent City of Manchester Stadium was the centrepiece of the XVII Commonwealth Games 2002, hosting the athletics and rugby sevens competition as well as the spectacular Opening and Closing Ceremonies. Manchester Stadium provides seating for 48,000 people and state of the art corporate entertainment facilities. C-Bus controls all the lighting throughout the stadium, including fl oodlights, tower lighting and blue LEDs on the top of the towers and along the roof of the stadium. At night, this gives the illusion that the roof is fl oating over the stadium.

Tough as nails Th e wheel is very exposed to the elements. Not unlike the Sydney Harbor Bridge, the infrastructure will require routine maintenance and require power access to service, clean and overhaul the wheel at scheduled intervals throughout the year. Requiring switchgear up the task, Clipsal 56 Series was specifi ed based on its legendary reputation for surviving harsh exterior conditions. Switched power outlets, are located at maintenance boxes throughout the structure to provide power whenever needed while plugs are located throughout and in the cabins.

Whatever the weatherAustralia is a country of extremes. Scorching hot summers and lashing winter rain can quickly take its toll on outdoor switchgear.

To combat the eff ects of the harsh Australian environment, Clipsal developed the Weathershield Range of outdoor switches.

Impact and corrosion resistant as well as UV protected, Weathershield is ideal for council areas, public amenities or wherever outdoor switching and power requirements are required.

Standing the test of timeClipsal’s 56 Series includes sunset switches that automatically switch lights on when natural light levels fall below a pre-determined level. Th e range includes switches and power outlets that have been tested for protection against water and dust to IP56 and in many instances exceeds this level of protection. Impact resistant polycarbonate enclosures are UV stabilised for extra long life outdoors.

New innovations to the range include a more streamlined and strengthened enclosure, as well as ergonomic operation.

C-Bus manages various lighting scene groups within the museum. As there are many lighting groups and diff ering lighting requirements, say for watching fi lms or highlighting new installations, the whole system had to be simple to manage from a central location.

Th e Imperial War Museum also features C-Bus Occupancy Sensors used to control the lighting within the corridors, toilets and other rooms where a short time is spent. Th ese sensors ensure no lighting remains on in unoccupied areas, greatly reducing energy costs.

For added safety and security, the C-Bus system within the museum has been integrated with the security and fi re alarm system. When either of these systems are activated, the interior and exterior lighting

switches on at full brightness to ensure a fast and safe evacuation. Th e security system is also directly monitored, and the C-Bus system alerts them when the alarm is raised. Th e displays also feature Glass Break Integration for added security. In the case of a display’s glass case being broken, the lights around the display area come on to 100% brightness.

Hi rise societyWhen you consider how to deliver on those high end expectations, a C-Bus Control and Management system should be an integral part of the specifi cation without exception. Not only can C-Bus be tailored to individual needs but it opens up a new world of multi room audio and home networking as well for these discerning buyers.

Multipoint dimming in each apartmentAn added bonus is C-Bus’ soft touch operation, programmed for on/off switching and to dim up or down when held down.

Bathroom lighting can be programmed to dim down to 30% capacity overnight to minimise glare.

Control of common areasC-Bus can be programmed to control lighting in common areas such as the lobby, car park, swimming pool and other recreational areas. Control and monitoring of the systems is also possible at locations such as the concierge desk or security control room. From these locations, management can monitor all aspects of the building from knowing who is at the front door to access control 24 hours a day.

Wired for soundTh e key benefi t of a C-Bus Multi Room Audio System is that the same C-Bus switch that controls the light can now control the music. Th is eliminates the need for separate controls and is ideal for anyone who wants to walk into their family room, bedroom or ensuite and turn on some background music while turning on the light.

Most people don’t want to hunt around for remote controls, or spend time selecting individual tracks, they simply want to select the radio or CD player or plug in their MP3 player, turn up the volume and maybe adjust the bass and treble. Multi Room Audio is the perfect add-on for any apartment with C-Bus.

Surround sound in stereoA new addition to Clipsal’s commercial off ering is the PDL LexCom home network solution. Th is provides apartments and residences will full access to entertainment, Internet and communication services within the home.

Like Kermit says, it’s not easy being green. And it doesn’t help with the number of government initiatives and manufacturers all claiming how green their credentials are. This section will bring you up to speed with all the green info you need and how Clipsal can contribute to achieving a higher energy efficiency rating in simple black and white.

Green Building Council of AustraliaWhat is it? Th e GBCA is committed to developing a sustainable property industry for Australia by encouraging the adoption of green building practices through market based solutions. It does this through the Green Star rating scheme which evaluates the environmental attributes of a building design across nine categories such as water management, transportation, land use and ecology, indoor environment quality, energy effi ciency and materials to name a few. Th e Green Star rating scheme awards up to 6 stars to recognise building performance, where 4 star is best practice, 5 star is Australian excellence and 6 star is world leader.

REACH FOR THE STARSENERGY SAVING

Why is it important to you? Many corporate businesses now include energy effi ciency and energy use in their KPIs, leading to an increased demand for green buildings across Australia. One example is SA Water, a government enterprise, insisted that its new headquarters building achieve the highest Green Star rating from the onset. Ultimately this building was awarded a 6 Green Star rating under this scheme.

NABERS What is it? NABERS is a Government initiative to rate the environmental performance of Australian buildings. It measures and compares the impacts of an existing building using actual performance

79 clipsal.com

Energy Saving

Why is it important to you? Th is is an opportunity to upgrade the building’s energy effi ciency with funding from the Federal Government, making a strong economic case and sound investment decision. CABA4 of North America estimates that 75% of the building cost is attributed to operating expenditure over the lifetime of the building, the other 25% is associated with the initial construction cost and project fi nancing. An energy effi ciency program can provide energy savings that can signifi cantly reduce operation costs for the building owner and tenant.**

Carbon pollution reduction schemeWhat is it? In 2010 the Australian Government’s Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme will commence. By 2020, Australia is committed to reducing carbon pollution by up to 15% below 2000 levels and by 60% of 2000 levels by 2050. A carbon trading scheme and carbon cap shall be introduced at the same time. Firms will either buy carbon credits to continue to pollute or implement an energy effi ciency drive to lower their carbon footprint, as the carbon cap reduces over time and as carbon credits become more expensive more companies will be placing greater emphasis on maximising energy effi ciency.***

Why is it important to you? A direct and immediate impact is the sharp increase in the cost of energy, with electricity estimated to increase by 18% when the scheme starts. Business will need to create more revenue, which may be diffi cult in a competitive world, or implement energy effi ciency measures to help reduce the impact of rising energy costs.

data such as energy and water bills. A common rating system allows you to benchmark the performance of the building against your peers. NABERS Energy (previously known as ABGR) provides a measure of the building’s energy effi ciency and greenhouse gas emissions. A NABERS Energy rating of 5 stars signifi es excellent performance. However, most buildings in Australia are rated between 2 and 3 stars, and the opportunity to improve the energy effi ciency of existing building stock is immense.

Why is it important to you? NABERS ratings can be used to measure and manage the ongoing performance of a building, to identify opportunities for upgrades, and to promote good environmental performance.

State and Federal government departments, as part of their on-going energy effi ciency drive, are looking for 4 star or higher buildings to tenant, while many corporate businesses now include energy effi ciency and energy use in their KPIs, leading to an increased demand for green buildings across Australia.

A NABERS Commitment Agreement allows you to ‘badge’ the future greenhouse performance of a new offi ce building project from the outset and attract clients looking to buy or lease energy effi cient buildings. A more effi cient building leads to lower operational costs, and attracts a higher rental income and a higher return on investment.*

An important distinctionTh e Green Star and NABERS schemes are diff erent and are not related. Th e Green Star scheme is an industry initiative to evaluate and promote the environmental attributes of a building design, whilst NABERS is a Government initiative to evaluate and compare the environmental performance of a building based on actual operational data. A building may be independently certifi ed under both schemes if desired.

Green building fundWhat is it? Th e Federal Government through AusIndustry aims to reduce the impact of Australia’s built environment on greenhouse gases by reducing the energy consumed in the operation of commercial buildings. Th e program will provide $90 million in grants over four years, from 2008-2009 till 2011-2012. Grants up to 50% of the project cost or up to $500,000 are available to building owners. Energy savings and increased performance is evaluated using the NABERS Energy scheme.

SA Water’s new head office in Victoria Square is a six star energy rated masterpiece of environmental and energy efficient design. Completed in 2008, it became the largest commercially developed building in Australia (rather than owner occupier) to be awarded a six star Green Star office design rating from the Green Building Council of Australia. Clipsal played an important role in contributing to SA Water achieving the GBCA’s highest possible rating with its C-Bus control and management system. Here’s what makes this remarkably energy efficient building a six star world leader.

Ecologically sustainable design Th e aim for SA Water House was to set the benchmark in environmentally sustainable design (ESD), promote a healthy working environment, encourage improved business practices, help attract and retain staff and foster an environment for collaboration and innovation. Th e design provides greater opportunities for staff and customer interaction. Th e 10 storey building, owned by the Catholic Church Endowment Society with a gross fl oor area of 35,000m2, had to integrate tenant’s, SA Water’s laboratories and offi ces into one facility.

Design Consultant, Cundall answered the brief with a building featuring a range of practical and innovative solutions to achieve SA Water’s stringent ESD performance requirements, while delivering a building at market rental.

SIX STARS TO ENERGY SAVING SUCCESS

‘We had to deliver superior indoor environment quality, 6 Green Star GBCA rating and a 5 Star NABERS energy performance rating in a building with a large western facade, said David Clark, Director of Cundall. ‘Th is required thinking diff erently about both the building fabric and the building services. For the fabric we placed a fritted glass veil in front of the west facade to reduce solar loads, while maintaining daylight and creating architectural interest to Victoria Square’, said Mr Clark.

Th e building features an impressive array of ESD systems, with a strong focus on water conservation and energy reduction. Th e building is expected to achieve a reduction of approximately 70% in portable mains water consumption and approximately 50%

in greenhouse gas emissions and energy costs, compared to a typical offi ce building.

Rainwater and Class A recycled water is used for toilet fl ushing and cooling towers. Using cooling towers allowed highly effi cient water cooled chillers to be used, delivering signifi cant energy savings compared to air cooled chillers. In addition, a gas cogeneration plant and an absorption chiller further reduce greenhouse gases and peak electrical demand. Ventilation needs are met by an underfl oor air system. ‘Adelaide’s climate, and a widened comfort temperature band, allows the system to run on economy cycle for much of the year, reducing the energy penalty normally associated with pumping lots of fresh air into the building’, Mr. Clark explained.

to dim lights down yet allow suffi cient light for note taking. Even in car parking areas, C-Bus sensors have been implemented to provide only lighting when needed. In the event of a power failure two standby generator systems provide energy for the system without causing disruption to the C-Bus settings or scene control.

Nearly every electrical fi tting involves carefully considered thought to saving energy. So far, SA Water is consistently meeting all of its energy targets, which management are kept informed of by the building’s BMS monitoring.


Everyone pays dearly for bad lighting in the workplace. And not just with your eyesight. In worst cases, poor light fi ttings can consume up to 35% of a building’s total energy usage. Old style fl uorescent lighting, tubes and ballasts and over illumination of work areas are literally burning a hole in your bottom line and killing your chances of reaching a high NABERS Energy rating. Fortunately, there’s one expert in this fi eld with an outstanding track record of saving businesses energy, money and trips to the optometrist.

ALL UNDER CONTROL WITH DALIDuring the late 90’s Europe’s leading lighting ballast manufacturers, names such as TridonicAtco, Philips and Osram, recognised the need to adopt a single interface standard for digital lighting control systems. The outcome was DALI, an International Standard which stands for Digital Addressable Lighting Interface. Through local manufacturers, DALI Control, Clipsal now brings you the benefits of what the lighting control industry describes as the world’s standard for digital lighting control.DALI is the ‘English’ or common language between lighting and control devices. Th is means specifi ers, architects and end users can rely on the compatibility and interchangeability of diff erent control modules from diff erent manufacturers. Th is includes everything from electronic ballasts, transformers, LED lights, emergency lights and exit signs to motion sensors, wall switch and touch screen controls.

In 2003 Andrew Parker and Mike Randall of Melbourne based Monitor Soft ware recognised an opportunity. Drawing on their experience with many lighting control systems they began development on control hardware and soft ware to fully support the intelligent features of DALI.

Monitor Soft ware’s background is in process control and distributed control systems. By incorporating this methodology into their controllers they have created a lighting control solution that not only speaks the DALI protocol but off ers individual control of every light and monitors its status. Th e solution off ered by Monitor Soft ware is based on its clever BM2600 controllers and is branded DALI Control. Th e controllers are installed around a building on an ethernet network and use time schedules, pushbuttons, switches and sensor inputs to control lighting on DALI communications loops. Th e DALI Control Solution off ers many key benefi ts:

Cost effectivenessSimple to install and commission, a 5-pin ‘soft -wiring’ system reduces labour costs and the distributed architecture enables sections of a building to be tested and commissioned ready for tenants as each area is installed.

Energy savingsDesigned to reduce energy bills, each BM2600 controller includes an integrated real-time clock with automatic daylight savings correction, sunrise and sunset calculation and holiday exceptions. Th e controllers use schedules and light and occupancy sensors to provide daylight harvesting and to control light levels.

Occupant comfortOccupancy detectors can be used to gradually reduce lighting levels aft er predefi ned periods. Th e system can also control fans, blinds and be integrated with Audio Visual and Security and Access Control systems. Color changing and lighting sequences can be incorporated to suit the application.

SustainabilityChanging tenancies, unlimited expansion and new features are easily catered for at any time. Th e DALI Control system helps futureproof your building.

Th e DALI Control solution has been used in major commercial buildings, architectural lighting, tunnels, restaurants and retail applications in Australia and overseas. If you are at the planning stages of commercial project requiring a DALI solution, then a DALI Control lighting system is without doubt the simplest and easiest method of achieving superior and hassle free lighting control and energy management.
