Smart hospital project nominated for lighting award

The Calvary Adelaide Hospital project, carried out by lighting integrator mySmart, has been nominated for the 2020 KNX Awards — one of five finalists in the Africa, Americas and Australia category.

The new Calvary Adelaide Hospital in Adelaide’s CBD is Calvary’s biggest investment in Australia and the largest private hospital in South Australia.

Said to offer the only 24/7 private emergency department in South Australia, the hospital is equipped with the latest equipment, modern facilities and capabilities to adapt to future advances in technology, ensuring patients will receive a high level of service and care. As such, the facility also required a world-class building control solution.

An open protocol system, a KNX solution allows further integration of building services and technology as required with little disruption. mySmart’s KNX solution (consisting of over 3000 parts) integrates the control of lighting, emergency lighting and metering, creating further opportunities for automation and energy savings of up to 60%.

“The Calvary Hospital Adelaide is a great technical solution for a truly modern facility. We are very proud to see the excellent work of our team and the technology provided recognised as world class by this nomination,” said Peter Garrett, mySmart Managing Director.

mySmart is a fourth-time finalist in the KNX Awards. In 2012, it won the award for Torquay’s Surf Coast Civic Council Building; it was also a finalist in 2014 (ANZ Tower Sydney) and 2018 (Ravenhall Corrective Centre).

The 2020 winners will be announced at a ceremony in Frankfurt, Germany on 10 March 2020.
