55 North is one of Newcastle Upon Tyne's premier housing developments,
situated right in the city centre. The 1960s BT office block has been extensively
refurbished to provide a number of high quality apartments and penthouses.
 
Our clients had taken occupancy of a penthouse suite and were particularly
interested in the remote monitoring and control aspect as their jobs took them
overseas for long periods at a time.
 
Being split over 2 floors the multifunction panels were ideal solutions to provide
intercom, multiple sensors and infrared relay functionality, the latter being
particularly useful to operate a distributed output A/V source.
 
Heating control is also handled by the system and despite the fact that this
was constrained to a single zone structure, has already shown significant
improvements in the control of temperature throughout the apartment. It has
also translated into lower than expected heating bills.
 
  IDRATEK also integrated existing motorised blinds into the system, which now   INSTALLATION LIST :
