The 10th stage of the Bankstown District Sports Club's master plan, The Grand Ballroom, built by Paynter Dixon, has been completed.

The Club has the most technologically advanced electrical system installed in any function venue in Australia.

Its average power usage has been reduced by approximately 40 per cent thanks to the integration of the digital lighting control system with high efficiency lamps, sound system, video system and effects lighting system.

The design, which doesn't include the use of LEDs, has also significantly reduced the Club's greenhouse gas emissions and electricity bills.

"The most significant saving in greenhouse gas emissions is achieved via the level of system control in the installation, particularly with the lighting systems," says Murray Robson, partner of electrical and energy consultants, Haron Robson.

"The club is also utilising high efficiency long life lamps, resulting in less power usage and maintenance, further reducing energy consumption and carbon waste."

Haron Robson created an in-house visual and lighting system which can be used to facilitate meetings, conferences, weddings, functions and major international performances without the need to bring in other equipment.

The on/off functions are controlled by the integrated system, meaning that the power is only on when the system is being used. "With no stand-by power drain, and the improved optics and lamp types employed, the club is truly at the forefront of energy efficient technologies," Robson says.
