Installation of the year at ITV offices
The KNX UK Association's Installation of the Year award was given to Entech for the ITV (Orange Building) Offices in Salford Quays. EnTech were asked by client BAS to streamline the design and delivery process of the building control system to be installed at the offices.
EnTech’s design team suggested a full KNX field bus solution to cover all aspects of the lighting, HVAC, metering and sub-system monitoring, enabling all services outside of the core plant areas to be picked up by the KNX bus. The solution dramatically reduced installation times and costs as there was no longer the need for multiple cabling for separate systems.
The design also reduced sensor and control duplication – again cutting costs, reducing points of failure and improving the aesthetic by providing less cluttered ceilings and control points.
