Student Accomodation

In 2010 one of the most prominent university colleges in the United Kingdom commenced a refurbishment of a 50 bed hostel.

Having previously deployed the Netgenium Access Control solution across the campus, the college expressed a desire to extend the system into the refurbished building. One of the design briefs of the project was to save energy where ever possible and intelligent lighting control was high on the agenda.

The design consultants, already aware of their Lighting Controllers set Netgenium the challenge of not only controlling access to the student room but also of providing light and heating control when the room is occupied.
