Integrated Control
Andromeda’s core business is the delivery of
integrated control solutions. We design, supply, commission and maintain
intelligent building control solutions which enable our customers to
reduce energy consumption, comply with current regulations, and create
outstanding environments. Intelligent Lighting control systems (KNX /
DALI) is our specialism, but our systems also include window and blind
control, field control of HVAC, and integrated headend solutions.
Andromeda are one of the UK's leading systems integrators, and the
world’s foremost KNX Partner. We have completed a range of diverse
projects, and continue to develop cutting-edge technologies across all
market sectors, establishing a reputation for innovation and excellence
within the industry and building strong relationships with our
customers. KNX – Complete Interoperability
KNX is a worldwide standard for intelligent building
control and automation. The KNX protocol is an open standard which is
totally interoperable between different manufacturers and products,
meaning that only a single bus network is required for your intelligent
building control.
This worldwide open standard has been approved by the
CENELEC (European Committee of Electrotechnical Standardisation) as the
European Standard for building electronic systems as part of the EN50090
series, as well as being approved as a world standard (ISO/IEC 14543-3).
KNX has been installed to control some of the UK’s most high-profile
projects including Heathrow Terminal 5, The British Library, Harrods and
many rail / underground stations. Complete
interoperability as well as forward and backward compatibility is
guaranteed on all approved KNX products, allowing for greater choice and
flexibility when upgrading an existing system or creating a highly
specified solution. Energy-Saving Solutions
In business today it is becoming increasingly
important to place environmental concerns at the centre of any building
project. Andromeda’s control solutions can help achieve key legislation
as well as satisfying energy-saving benchmarks such as BREEAM ratings
and the Enhanced Capital Allowance Scheme.
Lighting Control Systems: Andromeda’s lighting
control solutions are based around the principle of constant light
control with intelligent presence detectors (multi sensors). The system
will dim lighting against natural daylight levels, maintaining the
design level of luminance at the working plane. This strategy has
achieved around 60% energy savings on a number of completed projects.
Fully automated emergency lighting testing and monitoring is also a
major feature of our system. Dynamic Façade: Our KNX
control solution can be used for natural and passive ventilation schemes
enabling night time cooling and daytime window control to naturally vent
buildings reducing the internal temperatures rather than employing
active cooling. Furthermore, automatic blinds are not only used to
control the amount of sunlight/glare entering a room, but can also
significantly contribute to the amount of solar gain in a building, and
hence affect the cooling plant loads, room summertime temperatures and
running costs. Our KNX solar weather station is able to accurately
determine the sun’s brightness, position in the sky (based on the
geographical coordinates, time of year and time of day) and decide on
the correct height for the blinds so as to optimise natural light,
reduce glare and minimise solar gain. Andromeda
integrated control solutions also include zone heating, cooling,
wireless control and headend interfacing, commercial lighting systems
and lighting dimming systems. A Fresh Approach
Andromeda have a team of skilled, well-trained staff
with a combined total of over 80 years of KNX experience and a
remarkable depth of engineering and technical knowledge, enabling them
to deliver on large-scale projects effectively. The company utilises
this experience and expertise to deliver the most cutting-edge and
functional systems, always keeping the end-user in mind. Therefore,
every part of a project, from quotation to operation & maintenance
manuals, is tailor-made to the individual project.
