Education

Let the Learning Begin

Schools and universities are facing unprecedented challenges due to changes in society, demographics and technology. The value of teaching has never been so important and vital to a more educated future workforce.

Clever space planning and furniture from classrooms to communal areas can support these challenges and expectations from introducing energy efficient lighting control systems making necessary savings on running costs to ergonomically ‘kitted-out’ desks. Our Lighting control boxes offer plug-in simplicity via a range of purpose - designed units offering a varying degrees of software sophistication. They have an embedded processor and a control interface which allows users the ability to program (on-off) power to individual or groups of lights, operate dimmers, and pre-program space lighting levels together with providing the ability to pre-program the control boxes based on:

• Chronological time (time of day)
• Astronomical time (sunrise/sunset)
• Room occupancy (PIR motion sensors)
• Presence of daylight (lighting costs and energy conservation, and daylight harvesting)

 
A common issue faced daily within education is the transient nature of students, they have to accommodate on a daily basis and the environment has to be easily adaptable to fit all the individual requirements of the huge spectrum of student population they encounter. So from installing easily reached desktop power sockets & frequently placed floor boxes required for the variety of appliances that the modern student now uses as part of their education journey, to ensuring the PCs are fitted with monitor stands and arms for every desk so that students can set the height and distance of their monitors to their requirements & CPU holders so they are neatly tucked out of the way. With this brings unruly cables which can pose a serious health and safety risk, if the classroom is littered with large bundles of cables then you need to find a solution to ensure that unsecured desk cables can be removed from sight and stored safely and neatly out of the way. We have a number of cable management products and solutions available to solve this daily annoyance.
