CP take control at Wood View
Published:  25 March, 2009

CP Electronics has supplied lighting controls for use throughout the new Wood View Learning Community in Plymouth, Devon. The campus has joined forces with two local schools - Woodlands Special School and Sir John Hunt Community Sports College to provide a new complex for 1,500 children. Designed to combine light and airy learning with communal spaces, it contains the latest "intelligent" building technology. Features of the new technology include under floor heating which responds to the movement of people around the building, along with CP's lighting control systems, containing lighting presence detection.

CP Electronics has supplied its Vitesse Plus LCM (Lighting Control Modules) with marshalling boxes for the offices, toilets and classrooms which have the facility for connection to external devices such as light switches (ELV), presence detectors and microwave sensors. With a detection range of up to 30m, the microwave detector is self contained and requires no separate control or power supply boxes, making installation simple.

Installed in the classrooms, the Vitesse Plus system is programmed for absence detection, whilst providing daylight linking on the seats closest to windows so that illumination can be dimmed in those areas when sufficient natural daylight is available.

Andy Keith of Interserve Building Services commented: "Energy efficiency was paramount for a project of this type and CP's absence detection products certainly fitted the bill."
