UCIMU – Cinisello Balsamo (IT)

The building’s energy consumption consists essentially of two areas, lighting and HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning). For control of the lighting and HVAC equipment, DALI occupancy detectors were installed in the whole building. In the offices, PD2-M-DALI/DSI-HVAC occupancy detectors at each workstation measure the proportion of daylight in the room and add enough artificial light to achieve a pre-programmed lux value. The second output from the detector controls the HVAC equipment according to occupancy. In the hallways, PD4-M-DALI/DSI occupancy detectors were fitted. This detector is equipped with a night light function: when there is no-one present, the lighting is dimmed, for an adjustable period, to 10% of the full intensity. This means the user will never see a completely dark room.
