Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
posted on 07/23/2008
Self-commissioning device turns on and off lights in the home or office reducing energy consumption by up to 30%.
Suggested Uses
Can be used in new or existing light fixtures in rooms that also have daylight.
Advantages
- Easy installation-set up microcontroller inside luminaire, connect wires and mount sensor
- Wireless
- Self-commissioning
- Automatic-will shut off and turn on when sufficient daylight is present or absent
- Retrofits to existing devices
Detailed Description
This improved, automatic, energy-saving device works by turning on and off electric lights in the home or office using a microprocessor that connects to a luminaire. The processor receives signals from a self-commissioned, mountable photosensor. The photosensor uses a unique algorithm to control illuminance at the task pane making the photosensor more accurate than current market technologies.
