Ars Electronica Center, Linz, Austria
Intelligent HVAC technology connects the arts and sciences
Customer
Ars Electronica Center in Linz, Austria – a high-tech life sciences museum
Requirements
The building systems for control and safety technology were also to be extended and upgraded as part of the museum’s renovation and expansion.
Solution
Intelligent control of the HVAC technology is carried out via 13 controllers. A link to a central operating station ensures the highest degree of system flexibility. The lighting can be switched on and off using 160 lighting circuits. DALI light controllers allow lighting to be adjusted based on the desired scenario. Siemens also implemented preventive fire safety and security technology using a video technology system and a Variodyn D1 electrical sound system.
Benefit
The installations and performances were enhanced with an energy- and cost-efficient technical “stage set” with integrated HVAC equipment, fire safety and modern security technology.
