Simmtronic has supplied the complete lighting control system installed in Marks & Spencer’s new HQ at 1 & 2 Waterside, Paddington Basin, having initially successfully fulfilled the lighting controls contract on the building shell and core. When Marks & Spencer took the building, electrical contractor Hills Electrical called on Simmtronic again to provide the lighting controls for the full Cat B fitout, tailored to meet the precise requirement of the new tenant.
On this dramatic 10-storey office development,the consultants elected to have mains borne signalling as it simplified installation into what is a conventionally wired building. The SPECS3 system supplied by Simmtronic combines energy-efficient,variable daylight linking and occupancy control, driven by over 1300 lighting control modules.
Throughout the main open plan areas presence based control is employed with energy-saving photocell dimming control on perimeter lights responding to daylight penetration. Meeting rooms have been provided with scene setting functions and Simmtronic has employed presence detection linked to a specially produced display panel, representing the floor layout, to provide a constant indicator of each meeting room’s occupancy/availability.
The lighting control system has also been utilised to monitor disabled toilet alarms.

There is an obvious need for the industry to be more energy efficient and pay more attention to the ways in which energy is both used and wasted. Do you think we have the products on the market to meet our needs?
