Lighting control
Use KNX presence and daylight detectors for precision lighting control
Main drivers:
“I want to cut energy use substantially in the main areas of my office building. I also want the flexibility to expand and reconfigure the system as needed, without having to rewire.”
Solution in brief:
Use KNX open bus technology to link presence detectors to switching and dimming actuators for flexible, expandable automatic lighting control
The solution entails using presence detectors to activate artificial lighting if and when natural light is below a preset level. Lights are automatically switched off when areas are unoccupied or when there is sufficient natural light. Push-button or remote controls can be used to set brightness levels (100, 300, or 500 lux, or always off, for instance) and predefined scenarios.
Benefits for End Users:
> Use up to 35% less energy by tailoring consumption to occupation patterns (based on reference buildings stated in DIN V18599 resp. EN 15232)
> Reduce installation labour and costs (compared to a traditional system with the same capabilities)
> Flexible local or centralized switching and on/off indicators
Benefits for professionals:
+ Increased flexibility
- Easy to reconfigure and expand
- Settings can be adjusted at any time and the system expanded without costly demolition or rewiring
- All devices are connected to a common bus line
+ New business opportunities
- KNX solutions are implemented by skilled electricians or integrators
- They offer a broad range of user-friendly and cost-effective functions
