The Smart Lighting Developments Transforming Facilities Management
When managing buildings, two of the most pressing concerns are ensuring efficient energy use alongside the safety and wellbeing of occupants. Something that plays a critical
role in addressing both of these factors is lighting. Responsible for up to 40% of electricity use in commercial buildings and having a scientifically
proved impact on wellness, the benefits of modern lighting technology are significant.
In this article, we speak with Chris Anderson, Technical Manager at Ansell Lighting, who delves into this topic in
more detail, demonstrating how innovative lighting systems can transform building management and highlighting the latest technological advancements.
Energy efficiency and occupant wellbeing are two of the most significant priorities for facilities managers, forming the foundation of effective building management. Striking the right balance between these elements is no small task, particularly in environments where operational costs must be kept in check without compromising safety, comfort, or compliance.
Lighting sits at the heart of this challenge. More than just a functional necessity, it has the potential to shape how spaces are used, influence how people feel and work, and make a tangible impact on sustainability targets. Done well, lighting can help facilities managers achieve their goals of efficiency and wellbeing seamlessly; done poorly, it can result in excessive energy costs, compliance risks, and uninviting or unsafe environments.
With advancements in lighting technology, facilities managers now have access to solutions that not only reduce energy consumption but also enhance the overall experience for building occupants. These systems offer opportunities to optimise operations,
align with sustainability targets, 22 fmuk and
transform building management into a more manageable and impactful process.
The most transformative technology in this area is smart lighting. Functional across both indoor and outdoor lighting circuits, it is highly versatile, transforming how we can use and interact with lighting to reap its benefits.
