Entech project is KNX installation of the year
Entech’s building-control system for the ITV offices in the Orange Building at Salford Quays has won the KNX UK Association’s installation of the year award. To streamline the design and delivery of the system, at the request of client BAS, Entech’s design team suggested a full KNX field-bus solution to cover all aspects of lighting, HVAC, metering and sub-system monitoring.
The solution enabled all services outside of the core plant to be picked up by the KNX bus. It dramatically reduced installation times as there was no need for different cabling for separate systems.
Key areas covered by KNX included metering, lighting control, automated testing of emergency lighting, specialist broadcast lighting, fan-coil control, temperature and CO2 sensing, leak detection, critical alarms form sub-systems, blind control and solar tracking, ventilation and BACnet integration.
