Type 1: Public Buildings
Such as shopping centers and bus stations. No local control switches, since the user has intention of operating the wall switches anyway.
Solution: Centralized control for all lighting, and install staff only switches near the entrances and equipment rooms.
Type 2: Mixed Type Buildings
Such as school campuses, office buildings, factory buildings.
Solution:
- The user operates the local switches as needed, the switches would have some form of local energy saving control.
- Controls would also be centralized.
Type 3: Large Halls & Rooms
Such as conference halls, multi-purpose halls, stadiums, distribution warehouses, data centers, open offices.
Solution: Digital switches or touch panels are installed near the entrances and strategic locations (such as the podium), which can be preset with patterns for quick scene recall, and allow for multiple access points. Sensor control can also be implemented.
