PROJECT: EDINBURGH RHCYP // INTEGRATOR: FUNCTION CONTROL

Brief

The Edinburgh Royal Hospital For Children And Young People moved to Little France from its historic location in Sciennes near Edinburgh city centre in 2020. The new building conveniently adjoins the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.

Function Control were appointed to commission and test the lighting control system for the new building which uses KNX and DALI technology, a process carried out over 2 years as the building evolved from a building site to a fully equipped and occupied hospital.

Solution

The Function Control team systematically programmed and tested the building controls ensuring a robust system was installed which can be effectively maintained and easily modified during the life of the building.

KNX and DALI make up a versatile lighting installation which can be adapted to changing needs and layouts within the building with minimal disruption in comparison to conventional lighting installations.

Benefits

• Robust system infrastructure
• Flexible system commissioning to build continuous building phases
• Easy maintenance + modification

Result

A trusted lighting control system is important for any project, but is essential in a health care / treatment facility. The deployment of combined KNX and DALI solution showcases the scalability and flexibility of the system with almost continuous usage in select areas and different rooms / zones requiring interchangeable / niche control.

Via a systematic programme Function Control was able to achieve all commissioning and testing requirements in all areas throughout the multi-year contract.
