The document discusses lighting control and energy management solutions aimed at reducing energy wastage and carbon footprints across various types of buildings, highlighting the importance of energy efficiency amidst increasing environmental concerns. Actis provides integrated systems for monitoring and controlling energy use through advanced technologies, such as LED lighting and automated controls, which can lead to substantial savings. Additionally, the text emphasizes the necessity of compliance with global standards for energy efficiency and offers support services for maintaining these systems.
Lighting Control and Energy Management
- 1. lighting control & energy managementlighting control & energy management to help reduce your carbon footprint As the urgency to become more environmentally sustainable increases, businesses and individuals are becoming more active in conserving energy - especially through more efficient use of lighting. Our lighting control and energy management solutions help identify, control and minimise energy wastage - for significant cost savings and efficiency.
- 2. Acting on Environmental Sustainability The environment is fast becoming a concern for all of us – whether we are individuals, governments or corporations. But there is no magical solution to environmental sustainability. In fact it requires many incremental actions across different aspects of daily energy consumption. One area where there is a global consensus for great urgency is energy efficiency – as environmental and financial costs of fossil fuels increase dramatically. Organisations have now begun evaluating their efficiency through comprehensive audits and by using carbon credits to offset consumption. However, at Actis we believe that the real benefits of this new awareness will come only when we address the energy efficiency of the buildings that we live and work in – because cumulatively they are the greatest consumers of energy on the planet. offices residencesinfrastructure hotels Image courtesy Zumtobel

Actis Integrated Energy Management To address the issue of energy efficiency, Actis provides an integrated range of solutions that offer advanced monitoring and analysis through active energy management. Managing and ensuring energy efficiency in a complex ecosystem of electrical, electronic, IT, lighting and HVAC systems – requires a powerful set of management tools. Our systems include an integrated software suite, a built-in power metering option with each zone of lighting having the ability to be independently measured. This provides the ultimate granularity in understanding how and where your facility is using energy, and where savings are possible. Images courtesy Lutron, Crestron
- 4. Actis Intelligent Lighting Controls It has been said that "Power is nothing without control" and controlling a complex set of diverse devices is the biggest challenge in energy management. We provide the integrated control technology that enables this. Impressive reductions in consumption are possible through precise control and automation of devices and lighting across an entire office, building or campus. Natural light can be used to further reduce energy consumption through daylight harvesting - which utilises Motorised Shades, Daylight Sensors and Occupancy/Vacancy sensors. Lighting Control also allows creative lighting scenes to be adapted to requirements. Our architectural lighting control solutions are scalable, energy efficient, and feature emergency override as well as an astronomical time clock. Images courtesy Lutron, Crestron
- 5. Actis LED Lighting Fixtures LED lighting is fast becoming the de-facto choice for all lighting needs because of the incredibly low power consumption compared to existing lighting technologies (like incandescent and fluorescent lighting). Now available in a wide variety of popular formats and fixtures, our LED fixtures can be easily fitted into most offices, factories and homes for instant reduction in consumption – in most cases they pay back in as little as 18 months. They also allow control features - like dynamic dimming - that allow power consumption to be reduced even further. To tackle consumption actively and intelligently, there is a need for technology that not only consumes less, but that is controllable. LED lighting provides exactly these benefits.

- 6. 36% Commercial Buildings 38% Residential Buildings 26% Other In 2006, buildings accounted for 72% of total U.S. electricity consumption. By 2025, this number is expected to reach 75%. Of that total, 38% is attributed to residential building use, while 36% is attributed to commercial building use. 1 BUILDINGS consume the most energy Source: LEED & Energy Solutions / Crestron, 2013 Where is the Waste?

Reduces energy use from 15% (in open office environments) up to 80% (in storage areas / closets). SAVED USED 66 % 34 % 3 Daylight Harvesting Daylight harvesting and natural light control reduce the energy consumption by about 15%. Note: Automatic shading is essential for achieving the full potential of daylight harvesting. SAVED USED 71 % 29 % 4 Personalised Control Occupants can adjust lighting to their preferences via local wall control panels, computer control or through handheld transmitters. This reduces lighting electrical energy use by about 10%. SAVED USED 74 % 26 % 5 Light Level Tuning Tuning allows the room light levels to be adjusted to the occupants’ preferences or needs. Appropriate tuning can reduce energy use by 20% to 60%. SAVED USED 50 % 50 %
- 10. Key benefits: integrated, but decentralised Our Integrated Lighting Control and Energy Management Systems are designed to be flexible enough to meet and grow with most client needs. Broadly, they consist of these 4 parts: Innovative Control Software Integration allows a huge ecosystem of devices to be brought under control and makes the process of monitoring energy consumption possible. It also brings remote management capability to your entire facility and the possibility of integration with your BMS. Control Software is the key to enable facility management, allowing administrators to manage lighting, AV and other resources from a central helpdesk, and perform remote diagnostics and asset tracking. You can track network activity by event logging, as well as lighting loads. The system also provides graphs showing real-time and historical energy consumption and project areas where savings are possible. Integrated Management Platform Powerful Consumption Analysis Tools At the same time, these systems allow a decentralised or distributed architecture that allows greater reliability and at-location control for the users.
