system. Further requirements included run-
ning cost efficiency, low maintenance and
control of luminaires. All office lighting and
outdoor lighting, and the lighting manage-
ment system were supplied by Lighting
Innovations Africa.
The offices, meeting rooms and common
areas are illuminated by 5800 Pallure LED
light fittings, locally manufactured at LIA’s
Port Elizabeth factory.The Pallure is a stylish,
perforated recessed fitting designed specifi-
cally for office illumination.
To meet the strict control criteria request-
ed by the client, the ENCELIUM light man-
agement system was selected. It is a DALI
based system that enables comprehensive
control of the whole lighting system from
anywhere via remote access and makes use
of daylight harvesting, occupancy control,
personal control and smart time scheduling,
the combination of which can deliver energy
savings of up to 75%.
ENCELIUM is a flexible and powerful way
to manage a lighting space. It is the only
lighting control system that can gather data
from a range of lighting component suppli-
ers to tailor lighting usage with changing
requirements – making any building fit for
the future. The system consists of a central
service unit that enables users to control
the lighting by floor, zone or by individual
fixtures. The sensors, switches and fixtures
are all wired back to an energy control unit
(ECU) via the DALI bus.The ECU controls the
lighting using a combination of six strategies
to save between 50 to 75%.The Polaris 3D is
the graphical interface that views the build-
ing in 3D, providing various thermographic
views to show status, energy consumption
and all system information. Each ECU is
equipped with four DALI channels that en-
able it to control up to 256 fixtures and 256
sensors or switches.
For the outdoor installation including
pathway lightings, tree uplighting, garden
lights and façade lighting, LED was used
throughout.e in the area.”
