BackgroundLeading lighting control and automation group, Philips Dynalite, has drawn
on its expertise in the hospitality sector to supply an energy-saving lighting
control system for the luxury Scarlet eco-hotel in Cornwall.
Challenge“The design brief called for an integrated lighting control system to provide
pre-set lighting scenes in all public areas and mood lighting to bedrooms all
controlled by a combination of wall-controls, remote controls and motion
sensors,” said Lightmaster Design Director, Richard Nock. “A Philips Dynalite
solution was the obvious choice to meet this specification. Its controllers are
without question the best on the market for fluorescent and LED lighting, and
the Philips Dynalite solution-set remains our preferred lighting control system
to work with, due to its performance, reliability and versatility.”
SolutionThe design by Philips Dynalite Dimension dealer, Lightmaster-Direct, embraces
best environmental practices to yield a lighting scheme in harmony with the
surroundings using just 3.36 watts per square metre and providing guests with
an unparalleled ambience and sense of opulence.
Lightmaster-Direct designed, engineered and commissioned the innovative
lighting system to meet stringent environmental, functional and architectural
criteria. Integral to the overall design, many of the hotel’s light fittings were
custom-designed and built by Lightmaster-Direct to meet these exacting
standards.
The Scarlet’s fluorescent and LED circuits are controlled by a combination of
Philips Dynalite relay and ballast controllers. Philips Dynalite universal sensors
help ensure that lighting only activates when areas are occupied and when
ambient light levels fall below a threshold level. The backbone to the Scarlet’s
lighting control system is provided by Philips Dynalite’s sophisticated
peer-to-peer communications serial bus network, DyNet.
Two Philips Dynalite touch-screen control panels allow the lighting moods of
the public areas to be set by the hotel staff. Revolution 2 user-interface wall
panels permit local user control for some public areas and all the guest rooms.
There are two engraved and backlit Revolution 2 wall panels in each guest
room one by the entrance and one by the bed and these have been designed
to be intuitive and simple to operate. Guests can match their mood from a
choice of seven lighting scenes carefully created by the design team ‘ambient’,
‘bright’, ‘relax’, ‘bath’, ‘night’, ‘balcony’, and ‘all off ’.
BenefitsIn spite of the architectural and mood lighting results achieved, considera-
ble energy savings have been realised. “Where a conventional hotel typically
achieves lighting efficacy of 10 watts per square metre, the design brief for
the Scarlet called for 8 watts per square metre,” said Nock. “However, the
finished system achieved a staggering internal lighting efficacy of just 3.36
watts per square metre representing just 34 per cent of the energy use of a
conventional design. We have also achieved significant energy savings with the
garden lighting. Using discreet 1 watt LED fittings, a subtle and beautiful garden
lighting design has been achieved using less than 100 watts in total!”
In order to measure actual power consumption and to facilitate real-time
monitoring for maintenance of the lighting system, the Scarlet is considering
the addition of a DLight III server and MapView software from Philips Dynalite
to the lighting infrastructure. This will enable fine tuning of the system over
time to achieve further energy savings in the future.
“The goal of this project was to build a unique and opulent hotel in a beautiful
location, and to achieve performance at the cutting edge of environmental
sustainability,” said Baldwin. “While these goals are often considered mutually
exclusive, the Scarlet proves that you don’t have to sacrifice luxury to achieve
high levels of energy efficiency. Scarlet really is the new green!”
