Using the correct lighting in classrooms
When decision makers consider smart building technology in schools the first aspect that tends to spring to mind is that of automatic lighting control. Lighting is crucial to the successful functioning of any classroom or seminar room and, also accounts for a large proportion of energy consumption. Therefore, it is important to have intelligent
and on-demand control of lighting in education settings. Among other things, this is facilitated using highly accurate multi-sensors which can enable teachers and staff to control the artificial light depending on occupancy and brightness levels.
At B.E.G. we created DALI-SYS which is a I
n our final look this month at classroom design, we hear from Paul Jones, UK &
Ireland Sales Director for B.E.G. UK Limited, who explains how intelligent and on- demand control of lighting in the classroom can benefit the whole school.
DALI-based lighting control system which can deliver exactly this, enabling consultants to first plan the optimal solution for the requirements of classrooms in schools. Engineers then create CAD drawings with the lighting groups defined all in close consultation with the school’s facilities management. Commissioning is often highly complex and for
this stage, the system integrator will attend the site, supported by technical engineers from B.E.G. Here, they can then align the system and building and clearly define the necessary rules and user
