Case Studies : Energy Efficient Buildings
Lighting can account for more energy usage in a commercial building than any other energy system within the building.
Controlling your lighting is usually the simplest, most cost-effective and visible way to manage energy costs and reduce your carbon footprint, whilst allowing you to create great scenes and the perfect lighting conditions for any working environment.
Sustainable by Design
Dim Lights - Increase Energy Saving
Simply dimming your lights, whether fluorescent, incandescent or L.E.D, to predetermined levels or to work in harmony with varying levels of daylight can bring immediate results in reducing energy costs.
Dimming your lights by 50% will save 40% in electricity.
Daylight Harvesting
Use only the energy you need, harvest the rest from the sun.
Daylight harvesting sensors measure the ambient light to determine the level of artificial light needed to maintain the brightness you desire. When the sun's shining brightly, room fittings dim. When a storm closes in, lights automatically and seamlessly rise to keep the room at uniform light levels.
Daylight harvesting is a must for the conservation minded.
Reduce Wasted Heat
Dimming or reducing light levels also reduces heat, which consequently decreases the power use of air conditioning systems.
Typically every 3-Watt reduction in lighting power eliminates 1-Watt of cooling power.
Increase Lamp Life
Incandescent lamps will last up to 20 times longer when dimmed by 50%.
Extended lamp life, significantly reduces both maintenance and landfill costs associated with regular lamp replacement.
Energy Management
Obtain valuable management information in respect of lighting efficiency by using control systems which come with inbuilt energy usage displays.
Occupancy Sensing
Automatically turn off lights when people vacate the space.
