WHAT ARE LIGHTING CONTROLS?
The use of devices and/or systems to govern the light output levels of luminaires to which they are connected. Elementary Technologies deploys different strategies in order to cover all application types, price ranges and energy-saving requirements. Strategies are as follows:

MANUAL: HUMAN INTERACTION
Switch On/Off

MANUAL: HUMAN INTERACTION
Dim Luminaires

AUTOMATIC: OCCUPANCY CONTROL
Occupancy control to turn luminaires on or off when areas are not occupied.

AUTOMATIC:
DAYLIGHT HARVESTING
Dim Daylight harvest when sufficient ambient light is present and artificial light can be dimmed down to maintain the required light level.

AUTOMATIC:
SCHEDULING
Scheduling to turn luminaires off after trading hours or activate occupancy control after working hours.
THE BENEFITS OF LIGHTING CONTROLS
Increased energy efficiency
Flexibility of building use
Maintenance
Human-centric lighting
Comfort - Personal control
Security – Can be triggered to illuminate areas to deter thieves
Data for decision making
Circadian lighting








WHAT WE OFFER
Consultations
We compile innovative strategies to ensure the highest energy savings and shortest return on investment period.
Pre-Design
We build tailored solutions to the customer’s needs. This includes layout drawings, wiring diagrams & schedules.
Project Management
We work with contractors on site to ensure the installation is executed professionally. We provide commissioning of all controls and lighting solutions.
Post-installation
On completion of the project, we compile all technical documents to depict programmed results and provide professional training sessions to ensure all staff understand usage of the systems.

elementarySENS
The elementarySENS solution is a basic, cost-effective energy saving solution to control single or small groups of luminaires and/or HVAC, using; PIR, microwave or ultrasonic sensors. The sensor triggers luminaires on when detecting an area is occupied or off when an area is vacant.


FEATURES
-
Occupancy control.
BENEFITS
-
Energy saving thus reduction in operating overheads.
APPLICATION AREAS
-
Small Office.
-
BoH + Ablutions.
-
