The Quest of Life – Springfield Health City One project, Springfield, Australia
Health City One was designed to complement the adjacent Mater Hospital as part of the ‘Health City’ precinct. The project comprises of the Quest Apartment Hotel – a 5-storey building containing 18 serviced apartments for Multiple Sclerosis Queensland and an 8-storey building containing specialist medical suites.
The assisted living suites contained a high degree of automation using a KNX building control system to enable occupants to open doors, operate hoists, manipulate beds, and operate electrical equipment using a tablet device.
The work included complete building automation comprising control of lighting, blinds, air conditioning, fans, audio/visual, intercom, CCTV, and access control.
A central monitoring system for staff with a commitment to energy efficiency was provided, alongside building automation was a sync for the 82 Quest apartments.
The KNX solution ensured the complex was future proof and provides ease and comfort to the residents.
