CASE STUDY TRIANGLE HOUSING ASSOCIATION CARE PACKAGE Comelit’s intelligent home automation solution is set to empower residents at a new assisted-living complex in Northern Ireland. Michael Crane finds out more. C omelit is working alongside Atlas Fire and Security (NI) to install its SimpleHome intelligent home automation system at a supported living community in Lisburn, Northern Ireland. The client is Triangle Housing Association and the project is a development of 13 wheelchair accessible apartments, with staff accommodation, on a brownfield site at Hillsborough Old Road, near the River Lagan. The design of the apartments and choice of components have been geared to empower residents facing mobility issues, learning disabilities or mental health problems. The scheme underlines the Association’s aim of providing accommodation that includes the care and support needed by clients so they can live with a high level of independence and social inclusion within their local communities. This was a requirement that Comelit was able to meet and exceed using its SimpleHome home automation system. 18 18-19 Case Study – Comelit.indd 18 14/06/2016 12:25
