zencontrol is the winner in the Healthcare & Education category, with its work at the University of Warwick’s new Faculty of Arts in the UK catching the eye of judges.
The data obtained from the DALI-2 system, which includes emergency lighting testing and monitoring, was seen as a key factor in minimizing the university’s carbon footprint.
