Sandwell Council House - Oldbury

With over 200 employees to keep safe, upgrading the emergency lighting system throughout Sandwell Council House was paramount.

The emergency lighting system was upgraded throughout the offices. In addition to emergency exit signs, installing recessed emergency downlights around the working spaces and meeting rooms was important. The right emergency lighting ensures that people remain calm and quickly exit the building. This includes in the event of a severe event, such as a fire.

Emergency Lighting

Emergency lighting can also be used to allow people to continue working inside the building. This may be even in the event of a power cut or non-threatening loss of mains power.

As the large office space is substantially above 60m2, it requires an illumination level of 0.5 lux on the ground. This is in order for people to quickly identify and make their way to escape routes.

High output emergency luminaires highlight escape routes for occupants, ensuring that the building is a safe place to work.
