Illuminating Care: DALI+ Lighting Control in Healthcare

Join us this August for Illuminating Care, a half-day workshop hosted by Intelligent Environments in collaboration with zencontrol. This one-time event series in Wellington, Christchurch, and Auckland is tailored for healthcare stakeholders, consultants, and design professionals involved in hospital and aged care projects.

With a focus on DALI+ lighting controls, this session will explore how zencontrol’s open-standard, wireless-enabled system is transforming patient wellbeing, energy efficiency, and compliance across new builds and retrofits.

You’ll hear from Allan Organ – Associate Director at zencontrol and board member of the DALI Alliance – alongside Rebecca Harris, General Manager of Intelligent Environments. Plus, you’ll gain firsthand insights into the award-winning ARISU Stroke Unit lighting integration and what makes zencontrol the most advanced platform on the market.
