John Woodnutt, entrepreneur and inventor of electronic lighting control technology, has been awarded an MBE for services to Business and Entrepreneurship in the 2023 New Year Honours list. John pioneered lighting controls in the late 1950s and the Honour recognises his unique innovations in lighting controls and his six decades of commitment to creating smart, sustainable building solutions.
Delmatic’s smart lighting solutions seamlessly mesh wireless, wired and mixed-mode controls across physical or cloud networks, continuously monitoring, analysing and optimising lighting and sharing real-time intelligence to optimise building performance.
DALI-2 is the global standard for digital dimming, enabling devices from different manufacturers to be seamlessly integrated into interoperable networks.
We offer a wide range of DALI-2 products that can be integrated with other open protocol systems such as LON and BACnet.
Delmatic are supplying a site-wide, open-protocol DALI, LON and BACnet system which manages and monitors lighting across the entire 700,000 sq.m project.

A Delmatic open protocol LON, DALI and BACnet lighting management system is being installed throughout the 700,000 sq.m midfield terminal building – one of the largest buildings in the world.
The system controls, monitors and manages lighting throughout front of house and back of house areas, and integrates seamlessly with the central battery network to monitor the performance of the emergency lighting and central batteries in real time.
The lighting management system is the largest DALI installation in the world and combines DALI Buswire, Broadcast and Plug-in technologies with an array of DALI sensors and local control devices.
The system optimises energy efficiency through a combination of daylight-linked and occupancy-based control while lighting scenes activate automatically at scheduled times, via solar controller and via presence and photocell sensors. The complete installation is managed and monitored across the IP network using animated graphical software and the system integrates with other airport services to optimise energy and operational efficiency.
The Delmatic system monitors every lamp in the building including the health of each emergency lamp fed by the Central Battery: lamp and driver
status is combined with battery voltage monitoring data to provide a comprehensive monitoring solution for emergency lighting.
The Terminal is designed to minimise its impact on the environment. Major reductions in energy consumption are achieved through a climate-responsive building façade, smart systems and services, and advanced energy measurement and targeting which monitors and analyses energy performance.
The Terminal has received an Estidama 3 Pearl Rating making it the highest rated airport terminal in the GCC and the largest singular building ever to be rated globally.
The project team worked closely with Masdar, whose zero-carbon city and Masdar Institute (also equipped with Delmatic DALI systems) are located adjacent to the airport.
