The Economic Benefits of Smart Lighting

The Internet of Things (IoT) and the emergence of smart buildings is allowing more low-voltage building systems such as smart lighting, voice, data, security, AV and HVAC to communicate with each other via Internet Protocol (IP) over a converged ICT infrastructure, providing significant cost savings and sustainability over the life of a facility, while improving overall user experience, well-being and productivity.

Smart Lighting has been at the forefront of this change, with smart luminaires being available for the last 10 years adoption has continued to develop. Despite the tangible benefits an smart approach can bring, many people have been slow to adopt this technology, preferring instead to rely on traditional DALI technology despite its higher price point. This is changing.

IP enabled smart lighting is now able to compete directly with DALI installations, providing a great opportunity for organizations and building owners to realize the potential of smart lighting in their own environments with a quick to install, cost-effective, future-proof solution.

In this deep-dive session, we will demonstrate real-world examples of Siemon and IST installations which have allowed their occupants to realize significant cost savings on power and maintenance following the move to an smart lighting system supported by high performance structured cabling.

In this session we will examine:

• IP vs traditional DALI installations
• Key considerations for making the move to smart lighting
• Alternate cabling options and topologies
• The real-world savings you can achieve with this technology
