Four Seasons Hotel

Hospitality

The Four Seasons Hotel belongs to the San Stefano complex - Green Plaza in Alexandria.

What were the challenges in fulfilling the wishes of the customer?

The customer needs a very complete lighting and dimming solution with multi scenes function and an interface to movable partitions. The system is controlled by outside lighting lux, master control and local control via wall stations. A wide range of lamps was used, with very high loads for dimming. The client had special technical requirements for dimming panels and dimming modules. Furthermore there must be interfaces to other different systems such as BMS and A/V system. Another challenge was that the Four Seasons Hotels worldwide recommended Lutron as main supplier of lighting and dimming control system which hadn't used KNX system before.

Why was the decision for a KNX solution made?

Reasons to make a decision for this system were: the very professional technical concept using different KNX dimming modules which fulfilled all the client demands, the price was competitive to the contractor, the technical solution fulfilled the requirements of the consultant and the excellent following support of the local KNX team.
