Cost-effective lighting control

UCIMU – Cinisello Balsamo (IT)

In 2015, UCIMU (National Association of Machine Tool Manufacturers), based in Cinisello Balsamo (near Milan), refurbished its headquarters, an office building constructed in the 1980s, to the latest energy efficiency standards.

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.
