OCCUPANCY-BASED ON LIGHTING CONTROL APPLICATION

What is this application about?

The conditions present in an enclosure such as lighting, ventilation, thermal sensation, acoustics and temperature control make up the indoor environment and are important aspects for the protection of health, safety and comfort of workers and visitors in any facility, and seek to prevent working conditions from causing discomfort. Therefore, our application provides the necessary solution to cover the aforementioned conditions.

Let’s start with an important issue, such as the comfort of both employees and visitors. Through what environmental aspect can we improve the experience of each employee within a company? Well, lighting is a fundamental issue in this area.

Inside a building, one of the systems that is in operation the longest is lighting. Any space such as offices, stairs, public restrooms, etc., require the use of light, but it is not always necessary to use the same amount of artificial light, because the room has enough natural lighting, or because it is a space that is not being used for long periods of time.

Inefficient use of lighting results in high energy costs and high electricity bills. To avoid the cost overruns that lighting systems can produce and to obtain more efficient buildings, the use of motion detectors to control luminaires is recommended.

Thanks to motion detectors, access areas, passageways or other areas of more or less prolonged stays can be automatically illuminated in order to save on energy consumption by switching the light on/off when necessary.

Energy savings

Motion detectors are suitable for use with all types of lamps, including LEDs, fluorescent and ultraviolet (UV) light, depending on the model, and can achieve energy savings of up to 30%, a figure that increases if combined with home automation solutions (intelligent control and automation).

As an example, we can mention that to improve the customer experience or the collaborator in the vertical offices we can generate through the application of lighting control that each person working within the enclosure can regulate the lighting to your liking depending on the daylight and also in this way avoid constantly straining the eyes. This will help to make the stay for both the building official and the visitor a pleasant one.

It can also be mentioned that for another vertical such as hotels, we can talk about being able to control the lighting from a cell phone, this for guests and that they feel comfortable during their stay during their visit and have comfort in their rooms to create a more pleasant experience during their vacation. In this way, energy savings for the building and cost reduction are achieved.

Thanks to the use of this lighting control application, building managers will be able to have greater comfort in the facilities, by not having to be aware of turning on or off the lights, in addition to obtaining greater control of energy consumption, by making a more rational use of light. In addition to all this, the ease of installation does not require a large economic investment and thus create an intelligent building.
