Sheikh Zayed Desert Learning Centre

Design for LEED Platinum

Designed to achieve LEED Platinum certification, the centre has sustainability at its core with a strong commitment to minimising energy consumption and carbon emissions. The lighting systems within the building have the potential to make a significant contribution to the building’s energy consumption so effective lighting management is a vital element.

To that end, the Tridonic winDIM@net enables the building’s operators to take control of every aspect of the lighting, aligning it to the activities within the building so that every lumen is used to full effect. Crucially, the winDIM@net system also delivers the flexibility required to enable the building’s lighting to respond to different activities at different times of the day and the year.

winDIM@net also enables scene setting in selected areas of the building, contributing to the ambience of the displays and maximising their impact. Scenes can be pre-set within the system for ease of use by resort staff, and they can be re-programmed through the winDIM@net system if and when required.
