Light Saving Strategies using ESLS Features
Systel's ESLS is the most efficient and economical system available for reducing energy costs of lighting, while maintaining comfortable workplace lighting levels. Listed below are the various strategies for energy savings that can be implemented using ESLS.
| ESLS Features | Light Saving Strategies |
| Programmable, Dimmable, Electronic Ballasts | Optimized energy use, extended lamp life. Optimized programmed start, cathode temperature control during start and throughout dimming |
| Tunable “ballast factor” (maximum light level) | Tunable on-site, for each lamp |
| Individually addressable lights | Lights configurable during or after installation into “lighting zones.” Software-based grouping of lights into zones; zone-based setting of “scenarios” or "patterns" for energy savings and architectural interior design |
| Automated Daylight Dimming | Also called "Light Harvesting." Light sensors are set to maintain constant light level, automatically dimming lamps as ambient lighting increasing during course of day. |
| Multiple Sensors | Automated control (switching/dimming) by timers, occupation sensors, temperature sensors, etc. |
| Load Shedding, Demand Response | signaling from BMS can override room settings to trigger pre-configured, low energy scenarios (for lights, as well as HVAC’s and other non-critical loads). Provides savings (and possible rebates) at peak periods. ESLS can be directly connected to utility company peak load signaling. |
| Centralized Time Scheduling | Reduced lighting can be set for building areas less used at certain times of day or week |
| Support for Building Management Systems | Energy metering, light status monitoring, emergency lighting configuration, room sensor and security monitoring (including CO2, humidity, closure, etc.) |
