Saving on energy costs for your commercial or office building starts with knowing not only how much energy you are using but how that energy is being used.
Comparing your monthly utility bills, for example, might tell you that your company used more energy this month than it did the previous month, but it won’t tell you whether the cause was employees leaving equipment turned on over the weekend or whether its because you’ve got faulty equipment that is in need of repair.
At Daisy Energy, we employ a variety of energy audit and retrofit solutions to help you assess and realize areas of energy savings. From installing submeters in various departments and on various pieces of equipment to performing LED retrofits, the only thing you have to lose is your high energy costs.
LED Retrofits and Connected Intelligent lighting Systems
The newest technology in commercial lighting is connected lighting systems, or IoT lighting. These systems not only significantly lower your energy consumption but also provide greater control and management of the facilities environment improving occupants wellbeing and productivity. It can also greatly improve profitability for retail settings.
- Integrated sensors automatically control light levels when no one is present or when sufficient natural light is available. More importantly, the sensors can be tied into the buildings BAS to help drive down HVAC costs, further reducing energy consumption.
- Connected lighting systems allow for lighting asset management which alerts you to defaults or outages and pinpoints the location for immediate action, reducing tenant complaints.
- An IoT lighting system allows occupants to have control over their individual space via their smart phone or other device, improving productivity and occupant wellbeing. Bio Adaptive lighting can also be incorporated to further enhance the environment.
- Space management reports provide data on occupancy patterns (heat mapping) allowing management to better understand facility utilization and allow for more refined HVAC and lighting schedules to keep costs down. The system can also provide real time space utilization for booking last minute meeting space.
- Way Finding can also be incorporated into the connected lighting system allowing for easy navigation for visitors to large facilities.
Daisy Energy is proud to be a Value Added Partner with two of the top Connected Lighting manufacturers and can provide complete turnkey solutions for new construction lighting systems and retrofit projects.
