The winner of the Healthcare and Education category is Delmatic for the University College London Hospital.
In this 11-floor building (of which 5 floors are below ground), the DALI systems provide flexible, energy-efficient monitoring and control of normal and emergency lighting.
DALI helps to minimise energy usage, and enhance sustainability and operational efficiency. It provides flexible, digital dimming; integration with connected services; and the real-time management, monitoring and sharing of key data.
Precise DALI dimming and scene-setting in response to daylighting and occupancy enables flexible lighting schemes in different areas of the hospital, while enhancing the comfort and wellbeing of patients and occupants.
Judges noted that DALI contributed to the building receiving BREEAM Highly Commended certification, which is a challenge to attain in a highly-serviced healthcare building with energy-hungry medical equipment.
