INTELLIGENT LIGHTING CONTROL

Energy Efficient Lighting Control and Design

In new buildings and major renovations, energy efficient design can have significant impact in reducing future energy use.

In commercial buildings lighting is generally the most wasteful component of energy consumption.

A number of case studies indicate that more efficient lighting and elimination of over-illumination can reduce lighting energy by approximately fifty percent in many commercial buildings.

Also health studies have demonstrated that headache, stress, blood pressure, fatigue and worker error all generally increase with the common over-illumination present in many workplace and retail settings. It has been shown that natural daylight increases productivity levels of workers, while reducing energy consumption.

With modern technology the use of sensors as part of the lighting control system can ensure areas are only lit when necessary. Occupancy sensors detect when an area is occupied and turn on the lights - turning off the lights when the area is unoccupied, thus reducing energy consumption. Daylight sensors allow the harvesting of natural light, adjusting lighting levels according to the degree of natural light available. Security lighting has traditionally been a high user of energy. The use of lighting schedules and movement sensors can ensure the lighting is triggered only when necessary, and remains off when not needed.

Energy management and lighting control is becoming an increasingly important part of every new project. If you are connected with such a project why not allow Intelligent Environments Limited to look after the complexities of designing and integrating the control system. We can ensure the best outcome for your company or your client, and add value to your business.
