Project: Berwick Hospital
Project Overview
4C Lighting Solutions was appointed as the lighting partner to design and deliver wireless lighting and control to Berwick’s new £39m hospital.
The 10,500m2 facility will provide a range of new services that will improve patient care experience and staff day-to-day workflow processes, including endoscopy, maternity, as well as a new GP practice.
What makes 4C Lighting Solutions approach so unique? The only requirement for lighting and sensors is a mains connection. Using our Merit Mesh system, which will automatically form a mesh network once installed, offering maximum flexibility during the commissioning phase.
Benefits
The Merit Mesh system brings automation to the lighting installation. It improves efficiency, energy savings, and a reduced carbon footprint.
The experience of Merit Mesh with large hospital installations makes it the smartest choice for this type of hospital construction. Significant savings on construction can be achieved due to the flexibility and absence of control wiring.
Furthermore, it delivers a significant saving on the embedded carbon footprint of the installation.
The system is extremely flexible and configured on site to suit any applications.
