Saving energy with lighting management
Energy-efficient lighting systems are crucial for achieving net-zero targets and sustainable spaces. Did you know that by choosing intelligent lighting controls, you can significantly reduce your building's carbon footprint and energy costs?
Our systems ensure that lighting only comes on when needed. They also integrate seamlessly with other building systems and adapt effortlessly to changing room usage. So Helvar contributes not only to energy savings and meeting sustainability goals, but also to user comfort and well-being.
Energy consumption of buildings
To 45% of a building's total energy consumption comes from lighting.
Daylight control
Applying daylight control in an office environment can 20 to 40% saving energy.
Motion detection
Applying motion detection can lead to 60% saving energy.
A practical example: Volvo Trucks
The main reasons for Volvo Trucks to choose a Helvar light management system were its energy-saving capabilities, data collection and flexibility. Applying time controls and sensors ensures optimal energy efficiency.
How can a lighting management system contribute to the sustainability of a building?
1. Smart functionalities
Ensuring that lights are on only when needed. This can be achieved by applying sensors and time controls. But AI also contributes by learning how spaces are used and making recommendations on how long the light should be on after motion is detected.
2. Daylight control and shading control
Applying light sensors prevents unnecessary (bright) burning of artificial light. Automated blinds reduce the amount of heat entering the building in summer. As a result, air conditioners do not have to work as long. In winter, the opposite is true.
3. Integration with third-party systems
Sensors of the light management system can also be used to control the climate system. As soon as movement is detected, not only the lighting goes on but also the climate system. This prevents rooms from being unnecessarily cooled or heated.
4. Flexibility and future-proofing
The use of spaces often changes over time. A lighting management system ensures that the lighting can always change with no or minimal effort.
Helvar Insights & AI
To save energy, it is important to have a good understanding of energy consumption. Helvar Insights makes it possible to monitor the energy consumption of the lighting management system. Through a simple dashboard, the entire building can be analysed but also zoomed in on a specific room floor or area.
Helvar Insights can also suggest ways to make the building even more energy efficient thanks to AI. In a room that is generally only used for a short time, after detecting motion, the lighting can quickly turn off again. By analysing this motion data, Helvar Insights can make suggestions to optimise sensor time-outs.
Building certifications
Lighting controls play a fundamental role in achieving building standards and certifications. Choosing the right system can future-proof a building by allowing adjustments to be made at any time. In addition, a lighting management system also makes a strong positive contribution to the well-being of people in the building.
