Intelligent lighting control sets a precedent

Lindenschule – Lübtheen (DE)

The Lindenschule in Lübtheen, approx. 40 km from the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state capital of Schwerin, is the first school in Germany to be neutral in terms of both heating costs and CO2. Its rebuild and refurbishment has transformed the former prefabricated building into an intelligent passive building. A great deal of effort was also put into energy-efficient lighting.

Dimming occupancy detectors were installed in all areas of the school. In 28 classrooms, PD4-M-TRIO-DIM detectors control the lights according to the amount of daylight falling. But teachers always have the option of accessing the automation. In this way the light can be manually switched off, for example for presentations using a projector. In the hallways and larger ancillary rooms, a total of 68 PD4-M occupancy detectors were fitted. These make sure that the lighting is switched off in the hallways if they are not being used, e.g. during lessons. Smaller ancillary rooms such as the copier room, stationery store or furniture store are monitored and operated by 31 compact PD2-M detectors with a detection range of 10 metres. The school’s toilets are fitted with Indoor 180-R wall-mounted detectors. These detectors can fit into standard switch boxes and also have a built-in microphone, so that the detectors operate not only when movement is detected, but also if there are sounds.
