Lighting Controls
Lighting controls are systems that automatically adjust lighting based on occupancy, daylight availability, or schedules to reduce unnecessary energy use.
Definition
Lighting controls automate lighting operation using occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting sensors, or scheduling, reducing energy use from lights left on in unoccupied or naturally lit spaces.
Why It Matters
Lighting is a relatively low-cost area to optimise compared to HVAC, often with fast payback on sensor and control investments.
How ecolyptus Helps
ecolyptus's submetered monitoring can isolate lighting circuit consumption where available, helping quantify the impact of lighting control upgrades.
