Environmental savings
In an era of climate change and global warming, we must preserve the earth's limited energy resources. An intelligent control system is a simple, cost-effective way of making commercial properties more energy efficient.

In many offices the lights are turned on in the morning and stay on until the cleaners have left late at night, regardless of the amount of sunlight available during the day, or whether the office is occupied. With lighting accounting for 50% of a typical building's energy consumption, this amounts to an enormous amount of wasted energy and excess carbon emissions.

Intelligent lighting
An intelligent lighting control system that switches the lights off when each office is unoccupied, and that dims the lights when sufficient daylight is available, can typically reduce electricity consumption for lighting by 30%.

At that rate, the additional costs of the installation are usually recouped within 2-3 years. After that you're saving money, but from day one you're saving the planet.

Reducing emissions
In a typical office, heating and cooling accounts for 30% of the annual energy cost. Here too, enormous savings can be made by controlling the systems intelligently. How often do you see air conditioning units and heating fighting against each other?  How many workers open windows in the winter - not because they want fresh air, but because the heating is too high and they can't control it? The installation of an intelligent HVAC system from Baulogic, with localised sensing and adjustment, can eliminate these wasteful practices and save you money.
