Dubai Festival City Dubai, UAE

Dubai Festival City is a landmark urban resort and one of Dubai’s most exciting retail, dining and leisure destinations. The City covers a staggering 6.4 million square meters and comprises leisure, retail, hotel, and residential neighbourhoods.

The 200,000 sq.m retail area is home to 550 shops, 20 flagship and anchor stores, 90 restaurants and cafés, a 12-screen cinema complex, bowling city, and fitness club. The underground car park has a capacity of more than 5.800 parking spaces.

A Delmatic lighting management system controls lighting throughout the retail resort including the parking areas. Addressable control of individual lighting circuits within the carpark levels enables dynamic parking zones to be created so that areas are illuminated to suit use according to shopping periods as well as special events.

The Delmatic system also controls lighting within the 15 kilometers of tunnels which provide access to and across the site, and Delmatic Dali controllers adjust tunnel lighting to match external daylight levels. The site-wide system utilises the City’s IT backbone for communication across the vast project and IP Routers connect to the high-speed network avoiding the need for duplication of network cabling.
