Ecological Benefits
Building Automation saves energy, so its good for the environment
and it saves on energy costs.
An “all-off” switch near the building entrance
can switch all lights off, all over the building, with just
one touch. So no lights remain accidentally on.
Lights in any room can be switched off automatically when
the room becomes vacated.
The precise amount of illumination can be provided for any
situation, so energy wastage is reduced and comfort is increased.
Each room can have its own heating or cooling temperature
and timer control. So unnecessary heating or cooling is reduced.
If energy saving is a major requirement of an installation,
greater sophistication can be added to the design:
Light sensors can detect daylight levels and automatically
dim internal lights to reduce unnecessary artificial illumination;
Windows or skylights can be automatically opened or closed
depending on the internal and external temperatures, to reduce
heating/cooling energy consumption;
Blinds can be automatically lowered or raised according to
sunlight strength, to reduce heating/cooling energy consumption.
Our Building Automation designs can incorporate many more,
clever, energy-saving techniques.
With careful and experienced design, and combined with an
effective insulation and ventilation strategy, an energy-efficient
Building Automation system can substantially reduce energy
consumption.
An energy-efficient building is an intelligent and sound economic
investment. It adds lasting value to a building and saves
on running costs.
