A total of 80 of the bulkhead fixtures have initially been installed across two blocks of social housing. 56 of the fixtures installed were emergency enabled, with emergency protocols automated through the EyeNut Graphic User Interface (GUI) to comply with necessary regulations.
Andy Davies, head of business development and specification, Harvard, commented, “EyeNut’s emergency feature has enabled Peabody to eliminate monthly site visits by automating the monthly and yearly tests required by law. EyeNut also warns of a failure so that an inspector can be dispatched to the site immediately to investigate.”
Since the installation, Peabody has seen an initial energy saving of 44%, and with the system constantly being reviewed and enhanced dimming and sensor control features set to be added, the goal is to reach 50% energy savings.
Mr Davies added, “Peabody is the perfect example of how we are working with partners, such as Fern Howard, to develop integrated LED Solutions – such as the bulkhead fixture – which can be installed alongside our EyeNut control solution for maximum energy savings and control.”
