Energy Saving Solutions

In a general-purpose office, the main requirement on lighting is to provide illumination of sufficient strength and quality to facilitate the tasks being performed. For most offices, this means ceiling luminaires for overall lighting supplemented with localised task lighting where necessary.

From an energy standpoint the main issues with traditional lighting systems for offices are:

• lights being left on for longer than necessary
• lights being left on when enough sunlight is available
• lights being left on due to a lack of localised control

All of these issues can be resolved with an intelligent lighting system that is divided into small individually controlled zones, that automatically detects when each area is occupied, and that adjusts the dimming level according to ambient light conditions. Using a DALI network and wireless switches (or telephone-based control) it is entirely possible to individually control each luminaire.

Modern Methods

Baulogic also specialise in the use of modern cabling methods that can reduce installation times by up to 70% - allowing you to move into your new office weeks earlier. Rather than terminating each cable in-situ, the installation consists of clipping together pre-wired, and pre-tested, connectors. When combined with bus-based power and control backbones, these systems provide enormous flexibility for the future, allowing changes to be made to the layout  and use of offices without needing to rip out the ceiling across the entire level.
