Smart sensing and lighting control in a parking facility

Smart Lighting Solutions

Bring sensing, dimming, efficient LED lighting and remote control together for more responsive indoor and street lighting.

01 / SOLUTION OVERVIEW

The right light, where and when it is needed

Connect luminaires with occupancy and light sensing, zone control and lighting strategies. Indoor spaces respond to people and vehicles, while street lighting can be scheduled, dimmed and monitored remotely.

Interior building lights after dark
01

Respond to occupancy

Adjust lighting as people and vehicles move through a space, using standby brightness where appropriate.

02

Coordinate light levels

Combine daylight response, continuous dimming and scene settings to match different activities.

03

Manage remotely

Check lighting status and adjust schedules, groups and dimming settings from connected tools.

02 / INDOOR LIGHTING

Lighting that follows the use of a space

Sensors and self-organizing lighting networks connect local movement with lighting response. Define groups, brightness levels and scene settings for each area.

Car parks

Car parks

Illuminate a lane when people or vehicles arrive, coordinate adjacent groups and dim unoccupied areas with gradual brightening and fading.

Offices

Offices

Use daylight sensing and constant-illuminance control, with occupancy response and scenes configured by zone.

Classrooms

Classrooms

Combine daylight-responsive dimming and activity scenes to maintain desk illumination as outdoor light changes.

Digital buildings

Digital buildings

Review lighting status, operating time, network groups and sensing settings through a connected lighting platform.

Time and zone strategies working together.

01

By time of day

Configure peak, normal, night and standby periods. Set brightness and occupancy responses around site opening hours and traffic patterns.

02

By lighting zone

Keep entrances illuminated, coordinate lanes and dim parking areas when empty. Adjacent lighting groups can activate ahead of arriving users.

03 / SMART STREET LIGHTING

Manage streets one light at a time

Connect lamp controllers with LED drivers to schedule switching, adjust brightness and monitor operating status. HPLC, RF and 4G approaches support different street-lighting deployments.

Street lights illuminating a road at night

Remote switching

Control lighting remotely through the management software.

Operating visibility

Review lamp operating conditions and electrical parameters.

Status & alarms

Receive switching status and alarm information for nodes and individual lamps.

Remote dimming

Adjust lighting output and control settings from a connected system.

Autonomous operation

The central controller can continue local operation when communication is disrupted.

Web-based control

Manage lighting through the smart lighting system’s web interface.

04 / CONTROL ARCHITECTURE

Sense. Coordinate. Illuminate

Coordinate lighting at the platform, zone and luminaire levels, with different communication paths for indoor and street environments.

Connects directly to the platform over 4G for lamp monitoring and control, with 0–10 V dimming.

NEMA lamp controller

NEMA lamp controller

Supports HPLC, HPLC+RF, LoRaWAN or Wi-SUN options and a built-in light-control switch for individual lamp autonomy.

06 / EFFECT ANALYSIS

See the difference in electricity use

For an underground car park lighting retrofit, use a baseline of 500 lamps at 18 W, operating 24 hours a day. Apply the brochure’s conservative energy-saving assumption of 67% to compare annual electricity use.

The baseline assumes continuous operation: 216 kWh per day and 78,840 kWh per year.

52,823 kWh

Estimated annual electricity saved

Estimated post-retrofit consumption and electricity savings are calculated from 78,840 kWh/year at 67% savings and rounded to the nearest kWh. Actual results depend on the original lighting, operating hours and control strategy.

07 / OWNER BENEFITS

Improve lighting while sharing the savings

The EMC cooperation model brings the retrofit and its operating savings into one arrangement, with project scope and benefit sharing defined in the agreement.

No upfront retrofit investment

The service provider funds design, procurement, installation and maintenance.

Use the existing wiring

Reuse existing circuits to help simplify the retrofit of operating spaces.

A better building experience

Replace dim garage lighting with responsive illumination to improve the appearance of the building and the experience of its users.

Share the operating savings

Owner cost savings are estimated at at least one third under the sharing arrangement. The actual allocation is set by the project agreement.
