The recent Covid pandemic is such use case. It surely was unexpected and few – if any – new buildings had been built with such situation in mind. It provides an illustration of the importance of designing systems such as lighting controls not as fixed function, fixed purpose designs but rather as flexible and agile systems that can be quickly adapted to meet expected and unexpected requirements.
This presentation will examine the role which wireless smart lighting systems can play – and in fact do play – to address the challenges of today. It will describe typical use cases and benefits and provide practical examples of how such systems are used today to address the unexpected.
KEY LEARNINGS
- Control systems evolve from single purpose silos to generic, data-driven systems. Their design must be flexible and extensible as some future use cases will be unknown.
- Lighting systems have a central position in smart buildings since they usually provide the highest density of nodes and sensors.
- Access to simple information – such as occupancy statistics – can make a huge difference both for expected and unexpected use cases. This was previously not always considered for making RoI type of decisions.
