The building, affectionately known as The Gherkin, minimises energy consumption by maximising natural ventilation and daylight penetration. Delmatic DALI systems control lighting throughout the building, optimising energy efficiency and providing convenient and flexible control for occupants. To maximise energy-efficiency, multisensors throughout the building relate lighting to occupation of spaces and the level of daylight in each area, reducing lighting levels also reduces cooling loads furthe…
