Lighting Automation
Lighting automation has become a fundamental necessity and standard in buildings in the last couple of years and its due to its ability to provide an energy-efficient system while also catering to the needs of next-generation comfort.
Through lighting automation systems, energy is saved by adjusting the operating level based on the proportion of natural light received in a room, following the principle of maximizing daylight usage. Systems that extinguish themselves when not needed, thanks to motion and/or presence detectors, prevent the waste of natural resources. Features such as pre-configured scenarios for designated usage hours and adjustable light levels according to personal preferences and needs are just a few of the energy-saving, human-centric advantages of lighting automation. Integration of smart phones and touch panels has also helped with the ease of use and proved the systems’ user-oriented approach.
Residential projects, shopping malls, office buildings, airports, cultural and sports centers, stores, and warehouses; they all have their specific diverse needs and requirements, but thanks to the flexible nature of lighting automation systems, all of these requirements can be customized to provide the necessary modern comfort needs for very different needs.
Another advantage of automation systems is the KNX system, which enables all components to communicate through a single common language. KNX is an open-based protocol that was developed for smart home and building systems. Currently there are over 500 manufacturers around the world that produce products for KNX automation infrastructure. The major differences that set KNX apart from other closed source automation systems are its global standardization and its brand-agnostic approach in terms of competition and service quality for the user. Lighting, blinds, security systems, energy management, heating, cooling, ventilation, air conditioning systems, signaling and monitoring systems, building control systems, audio and video control,... All these functions operate through a single system. This is called the principle of interworking. Due to this principle, KNX facilitates the control of building automation systems.
Since 2004, Optimus has been collaborating with ABB, the world's largest manufacturer in the KNX field, employing a team of expert engineers to carry out the installation, design, and commissioning processes of lighting automation systems. Utilizing the advantage of KNX's brand-independent system, Optimus provides a customer-and-solution-oriented approach to all your projects, combining different brands with our capacity of integration whether its a 1+0 single room apartment or an airport, with our expertise we can provide the right solution in any project.
