Background

New City Fitness is an exciting new venture from New City College. Its facilities in Hackney was used for the London 2012 Olympic Games as a training facility for a variety of countries.  The centre has quickly become known as the home of Basketball in London and the UK.

The brand-new state-of-the-art sport and wellness centre in Epping Forest is opening in 2023. The centre will encompass facilities for sport, fitness and wellbeing and will be open to use by College students and the general public. New City College’s Sport and Fitness students will work and train in the centre, located across the road from the College campus.

Challenge

The new facilities are created with a timber structure with a view on using natural materials, textures, patterns and colours. The natural ventilation and daylighting are optimised which is key to the carbon strategy for the project.

The lighting control system is an important factor in managing the efficiency of the building while delivering optimal conditions for the users.

Benefits

The Mymesh system brings automation to the lighting installation. It improves efficiency, energy saving and a reduced carbon footprint. The scalability of the system allows the College to expand to other installations in the future.

The Mymesh system tests and monitors emergency lighting. Reports are provided on the performance of both emergency and general lighting.
