One Sydney Harbour is focused on minimizing energy consumption by incorporating dimmed lighting scenes and automated blinds to maximize daylight harvesting. Crestron custom processors and occupancy sensors govern lighting with precision across communal spaces like entrances, concierge areas, and parking and recreational facilities. To offer a connected experience to the end user, extensive integration with building services, including the control of the façade blinds, a weather warning system, an intercom, and access control were added.
All apartments feature integrated Crestron motorized curtains that can be controlled via all interfaces. Another luxurious feature is heated towel rails in the bathrooms, which have a one-hour safety timer controlled through Crestron. The bathrooms also have underfloor heating, which can be changed manually by the Crestron thermostat or operated as a scheduled event.
Building safety is a high priority, which is why each apartment system integrates with the building access control to manage guest access. The Crestron touch screens are used to enable building access and unlock the pathway entry door to the corresponding apartment. Each tower has intercom services with each apartment utilizing the touch screens as an answering unit so that the tenants can communicate with the front desk concierge.
