DHU Birch House, Birmingham – Intelligent Lighting Controls Upgrade 💡
Peak Evolution Ltd are currently delivering an intelligent lighting controls upgrade at DHU Birch House, Birmingham, enhancing the performance of the existing LED lighting installation within a busy 24/7 call centre environment.
Rather than replacing the luminaires themselves, the project involves upgrading the existing LED drivers with new Bluetooth-enabled smart dimming drivers, providing greater control, improved energy efficiency and a more comfortable working environment for staff.
A key requirement from DHU was the ability to automatically adjust lighting levels throughout the day to suit changing daylight conditions and occupancy patterns. The new wireless lighting control system allows individual luminaires and groups of luminaires to communicate via Bluetooth, creating a flexible and scalable lighting network without the need for additional control cabling.
Working closely with the lighting manufacturer’s technical support team, detailed lighting assessments, control strategies and commissioning plans were developed to ensure the system delivers the required lighting performance while maximising energy savings and operational efficiency.
The upgrade is being completed in phases, allowing DHU’s critical healthcare support operations to remain fully functional throughout the works.
A great example of how existing lighting assets can be modernised through smart controls technology, delivering significant energy savings and improved user comfort without the cost and disruption of a full lighting replacement.
