Gravesham is a local government district in the north-west of Kent, England. The offices are based in Gravesend, a city on the bank of the river Thames. Gravesham was formed in 1974 as a result of a merger of other municipalities. Gravesend merged with Northfleet Urban District and part of Strood Rural District.
Challenge
The lighting in the parking garage of Gravesham was due for replacement. In this renovation project, the existing lighting has been replaced by new lighting. The new lighting also had to have a light control system.
Solution
It was decided to use Mymesh because it allowed them to easily implement light control with motion detection and remote monitoring for emergency lighting.
In case of an emergency, the present fire detection system triggers Mymesh to automatically set itself in calamity mode; To override all settings and increase light-output to 100%.
Benefits
The combination of the latest technology in LED lighting, combined with the wireless controls of Mymesh brought energy savings of more than 70%. But more importantly, all emergency lighting is monitored and the reporting on Function and Duration Test results make sure the council is compliant with the latest regulations.
