Gilliam Collegiate Academy
The Challenge
The major focus of the project was to incorporate the most advanced lighting control system to save energy, cut costs and improve the learning environment.
Another requirement was for theater stage lighting to be integrated into the networked system.
The Solution
The fully integrated lighting management system controls the lights in every classroom and hallway as well as exterior public areas. The incorporation of daylight harvesting and occupancy sensors ensures lighting is provided when and where it is needed while optimizing visual comfort.
Daylight sensors dim the lights when there is enough natural daylight and presence detectors turn the lights off when the classroom is empty, which helps to trim energy costs dramatically.
The modular design of the system allows components to easily be added or adjusted as requirements change. The remote access feature of the Dynalite software allows a user to control or configure system parameters from anywhere that has Internet access.
Dynamic and responsive
The rear wall of the auditorium opens to expose the stage to an open-air amphitheater. The Dynalite and theatrical control systems automatically adjust so that the stage positions are reversed and lighting for the seating area switches to the outdoor luminaires.
A BACnet gateway has been installed to integrate lighting control with the heating and air conditioning systems.
Conclusion
The sophisticated lighting control system has helped to significantly reduce the school’s energy consumption and costs.
With dimming capabilities and presence detection to switch off lighting when it’s not needed, the Philips Dynalite solution effectively controls lighting levels in classrooms, hallways and outdoor while still saving energy.
Using natural and higher-quality indoor lighting is a win-win situation for the students and the teachers as well as the learning environment has been improved.
The Dynalite system was instrumental in helping the school to achieve its green credentials and has also been given top marks for its energy efficiency, flexibility and ease of operation.
