The Economic Benefits of Intelligent Lighting
View/Listen to Recording
The Internet of Things (IoT) and the emergence of smart/intelligent buildings is allowing more low-voltage building systems such as intelligent lighting, voice, data, security, AV and HVAC to communicate with each other via Internet Protocol (IP) over a converged ICT infrastructure, providing significant cost savings and sustainability over the life of a facility, while improving overall user experience, well-being and productivity.
Intelligent Lighting has been at the forefront of this change, with intelligent luminaires being available for the last 10 years adoption has continued to develop. Despite the tangible benefits an intelligent approach can bring, many people have been slow to adopt this technology, preferring instead to rely on traditional DALI technology despite its higher price point. This is changing.
IP enabled intelligent lighting is now able to compete directly with DALI installations, providing a great opportunity for organizations and building owners to realize the potential of intelligent lighting in their own environments with a quick to install, cost-effective, future-proof solution.
In this deep-dive session, we will demonstrate real-world examples of Siemon and IST installations which have allowed their occupants to realize significant cost savings on power and maintenance following the move to an intelligent lighting system supported by high performance structured cabling.
In this session we will examine:
- IP vs traditional DALI installations
- Key considerations for making the move to intelligent lighting
- Alternate cabling options and topologies
- The real-world savings you can achieve with this technology
