Lighting control is an ideal solution to ensure the comfort of your residents, tenants, consumers, or employees. Moreover, according to the ASHRAE 90.1 – 2004 and the recently published 2007 standards, lighting control is mandatory in all buildings with superficy area greater than 5000 ft2. Learn how a lighting control system works, which tasks it can automate for you, and how it can save you time, maintenance work, and electricity fees.
Each and every building has its own characteristics that make it unique. This is why we have developed, at Cristal Controls, a flexible, reliable, aesthetic, and practical system, which combines highly advanced functionalities and simplicity of utilisation.
Lighting control systems have three main objectives :
To provide the correct amount of light, to ensure comfort
At the good place, by creating zones
At the good time, by creating schedules
Cristal Controls' lighting control systems automate these functions by creating schedules for the different areas of a building. Moreover, by incorporating photoelectric cells or motion detectors, the lighting control systems can also adapt lighting to the exterior lighting level or the rate of occupation of the room. You can choose to control each floor, each department, each room, and even each luminaire. Therefore, you obtain a personalized and reliable control system, that really meets your specific needs.
Cristal Controls' lighting control systems provide you with :
Savings
You save time and work. Our systems simplify business operations and maintenance of lighting systems.
You save money : up to 50% of the energy related costs. You can therefore reduce your energy consumption and the daily time of operation of the lighting system. The electricity demand of the building is thereby less, and you can benefit from lower off-peak rates.
Comfort
