Named ‘Sigma’ from the Greek word meaning ‘the sum of all things’, the home is designed to meet all the nine elements of the Code, whilst providing the technology and layout to suit modern lifestyles and the changing needs of families.
As well as stylish GET Flatplate decorative accessories and a Square D Consumer unit, the home also boasts the Clipsal ULTI lighting system and Delta 8 home networking system.
ULTI is, as its name suggests, the ultimate in electrical wiring accessory design and technology. Requiring no additional control wiring or components, ULTI can remotely and instantaneously provide a range of lighting moods by controlling differing combinations of the Low Energy lamps fitted within the property, and all at the touch of a button.
ULTI uses wireless radio frequency (RF) technology to give seamless integration of all lighting switches and can be operated from a wall-mounted switch or by using a detached remote control.
The Delta 8 home networking system also supports the concept of modern living, easily facilitating home working. Based on a single cable principle the system provides simultaneous access to TV, telephone or data at every outlet in the home giving the user total flexibility in the use of their space.
Sigma Home is designed to cut energy bills by up to 80% and is expected to lead in commercial production well in advance of the Government’s target time frame of 2016. The concept of Sigma Home could soon become standard and it already demonstrates what can be achieved from the technology that is currently available.
