Automating Offices And Energy Saving Measures

Apply building automation to an office. It is the management who gain a competitive advantage on numerous aspects. They not only save energy and ensure a safe and secured working milieu but also expect the staff to deliver high performance, leading to the company’s growth. Pleasing interior aesthetics can indeed bring a big change to the working environment. Yes it is not only cost containment but also contribution to a green environment not to mention maintaining operation efficiency that management can experience with Building Automation. 

From climate control and lighting only, management can save thousands of kWh of energy every month. Use of LED lights instead of the other lighting devices is gaining big momentum in offices. LED lights do add to the décor of the interiors and consume very less electricity. To top it, without human intervention, these LED lights can function all by themselves. Yes, install motion detectors; these can identify motion and get the lights switch on automatically. And when there is no motion, i.e. when a space is vacant, they turn off automatically too. Intensity of light is made to vary with reactors. This is only one facet of building automation. There are sensors that ensure constant level of illumination inside a building blending LED lights with natural light. This energy saving building automation feature is incorporated in many a hi-tech glass building. The same motion based sensors applies to HVAC as well, thus ensuring optimum use of energy and helping management save big on electricity bills.
