Man, with his intelligence, \nuses this combination to make his days more pleasant and more productive.\nIt can be argued that light is able to snatch the life behind it out of the darkness and \nmake it visible for all to see. This is the main purpose of a Lighting Designer, to play \nwith light and shadow, to bring life out of something lifeless. In fact, light allows us to \nsee, but it is not enough to simply switch on lamps to ensure that an activity is carried \nout properly. Each moment, each instant, requires different lighting, appropriate to the \nenvironment and the precise instant we are living.\nArtificial light, besides changing the visual perception of spaces and volumes, \ntransforms the character and personality of environments and, according to recent \nscientific studies, plays a crucial role in influencing man’s psychophysical wellbeing, \nmodifying his state of mind and his perception of comfort.\nAs a result, one of the most extraordinary skills a Lighting Designer must have is the \nability to “shape” an environment made up of static elements. Current living trends \nhighlight the need to adapt the lighting atmosphere to the user’s needs as they change \nthroughout the day.

The European Union has drawn attention to the fact \nthat buildings are responsible for 40% of final energy consumption - and 75% of them \nare still energy inefficient - requiring member states to make a major efficiency recovery \nthrough mandatory enforcement directives. On the other hand, this action must not be to \nthe disadvantage of the comfort and well-being of building occupants, also in view of the \nhigh proportion of time spent indoors. \nIEQ - Indoor Environmental Quality\nIn recent years, the concept of “indoor environmental quality” (or IEQ) has become \nestablished, a global approach with four dimensions:\n• thermo-hygrometric comfort;\n• air quality;\n• visual comfort;\n• acoustic comfort.\nSeveral scientific studies have shown that indoor environmental quality has a direct effect \non the comfort, health, well-being and productivity of a building’s users.\nVisual comfort\nTo allow people to carry out visual tasks safely, efficiently and accurately the lighting \nfunction must be correctly designed. The basic requirements are:\n• adequate lighting to ensure safety and movement;\n• conditions to facilitate visual performance and colour perception;\n• acceptable visual comfort for those using the space.\nThe criteria to be adopted will of course vary according to the activities to be carried \nout in a certain environment, but must in any case ensure comfortable visual conditions. \nBy “visual comfort” we mean a condition of subjective visual well-being induced by \nthe lighting environment, as indicated by the UNI EN 12665 standard. In providing the \ncondition of visual comfort, the design of the lighting environment must consider two \nfactors:\n• visual performance;\n• environmental pleasantness. \nVisual performance is defined by the speed and accuracy with which the task is carried \nout, which is why the illuminance and brightness in the environment and on the reference \nlevel are crucial, but other factors such as the size of the visual task and the distance from \nthe eyes also come into play. However, there is also a subjective element, represented \nby the visual capabilities of the individual person. The pleasantness of the environment \nreflects the general sensation perceived in an environment and is therefore influenced by \nvarious factors such as the spatial and functional characteristics of the environment, the \nperson’s preferences, attitudes and psychological aspects and the different contributions \nmade by natural and artificial light.\nHigh-quality environments, lower costs\nThe largest cost in today’s organisations is generally the staff and consists of salaries, \nhealth care contributions and induced social costs: surprisingly it can be up to ten times \nhigher than the cost of workstations. Poor quality environments lead to more frequent \nabsences, which cause a cost increase under the heading ‘staff’. In minor cases, these \nare temporary illnesses and indispositions, but if neglected, they can lead to more serious \nconsequences. Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) is not uncommon. In this case, specific \nillnesses cannot be identified, but people do suffer from conditions that appear to be \nrelated to their time in the building and which tend to disappear when they leave. \nIndoor space quality\nVISUAL COMFORT\n  \nINDOOR AIR \nQUALITY\nTHERMAL \nCOMFORT\nLIGHTING\nACOUSTICS\nIEQ\nC\nO\nM\nF\nO\nR\nT\nSource: BPIE\nW\nE\nL\nL\nB\nE\nI\nN\nG\nP\nR\nO\nD\nU\nC\nT\nI\nV\nI\nT\nY\nH\nE\nA\nL\nT\nH\nInvestment value\nA building with a high quality interior not only has a positive eff ect on the people who \nspend time in it, but can also be a good investment.

They also offer power, \nlow consumption, flexibility of use; unlike discharge lamps, they can be switched \non and off hot and are able to emit full brightness immediately after switching \non; all characteristics that make them suitable for a very wide range of lighting \napplications. \nInnovative technology\nAlthough they radiate light in the same way as conventional light sources, \nLEDs have little in common with familiar lamps such as incandescent or gas \ndischarge lamps. They are electronic chips made up of adjacent layers of special \nsemiconductor components. When an electric current flows through them, LEDs \nemit light radiation in a process known as ‘electroluminescence’. The luminous \nefficiency benefits from the fact that the emission takes place in the 180-degree \nrange; moreover, in LED modules, light radiation is emitted in one direction, \nwhile thermal radiation is scattered in the opposite direction.\nOLEDs appear on the horizon\nWhile LEDs are point-shaped light sources, OLED (organic light-emitting diode) \ntechnology offers a further innovation through its flat light sources. This makes it \npossible - as with a building material - to incorporate extremely thin OLED layers \ninto other components, opening up completely new ways of developing displays \nand luminaires. Already used in designer lighting fixtures, it is estimated that \nOLEDs will also be increasingly used for large-area lighting in the coming years, \nthanks to their distinctive characteristics: they provide uniform light with high \ncolour rendering and virtually glare-free; full light output is immediate; dimming \nis easy by varying the operating current; and there is maximum flexibility in \ncolour control. Last but not least, OLEDs are environmentally friendly as they \ncontain no mercury or other harmful substances and are fully recyclable.\nLED-Technology\nTHE REVOLUTION IN LIGHT SOURCES\nAnode\nThrough-hole plate\n-\n+\nFluorescent layer\nPlastic lens\nLED chip\nThermal connection\nSoldering contact\nSoldering contact\nCeramics\nJunction wire\nCathode\nGlobal establishment\nGlobally, the use of LEDs has increased considerably in recent years, from a \nmarket share of 5% in 2013 to almost half of sales in 2019, with an increasing \nshare of integrated LED luminaires. Very quickly, LEDs have become the leading \nlight source, a dynamic accelerated in EU countries by the gradual banning of \nother low effi  ciency sources such as incandescent and halogen lamps. The \nestablishment of LEDs has also been facilitated by the continuous fall in prices, \nthanks to economies of scale generated by very high sales volumes: it is estimated \nthat 38 billion LED-based products have been sold in just fi ve years. In 2019, \ninternational LED sales reached a historic milestone of more than 10 billion units \nof light sources (lamps, tubes, modules) and luminaires. \n17\n16\n",9,{"image":50,"text":51,"number":52},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fb5\u002Fca13c682899a438f1fe2daca5cbcc1-26fdbbcb77.10.png","Efficiency as the decisive factor\nFrom an already better track record than other technologies, the efficiency \nof LEDs has improved further in recent years. Depending on the model, LEDs \navailable on the residential market have an efficacy of more than 100 lumens \nper watt, and since 2010 the average efficiency of LEDs has improved by \n6-8 lm\u002FW per year. There are countries where the efficacy of LEDs available \nfor residential use already ranges from 110 lm\u002FW to 130 lm\u002FW; to meet the \nambitious Sustainable Development Scenario (SDS) targets, manufacturers are \nalready committed to achieving values of 160 lm\u002FW by 2030. To understand \nthe improvements being made, the effectiveness of compact fluorescent lamps \nis around 60 lm\u002FW and that of halogen lamps is below 20 lm\u002FW; incandescent \nlamps dissipate most of their energy in heat, which explains why they were the \nfirst to be banned from the EU market (source: IEA).\nColour variation and light colour\nA revolutionary feature is that LEDs can produce any colour of light, unlike \nconventional light sources. LEDs come in various colours depending on the type \nof semiconductor used, which determines the dominant wavelength and therefore \nthe colour of the light emitted. Moreover, depending on the composition and \nwavelength of the dominant colour, the white light emitted by an LED can take \non different tones. If there is a high proportion of blue tones in the spectrum, the \nlight is perceived as cold white; the higher the proportion of long-wave colours, \nthe ‘warmer’ the light appears. IEC EN 12464-1 gives a numerical reference \nto the different shades of light which are classified according to their ‘colour \ntemperature’, expressed in degrees Kelvin (K). As a general rule: the higher the \ncolour temperature, the colder the light. A distinction is made between:\n• warm white: temperature below 3,300 Kelvin;\n• neutral white: temperature between 3,300 and 5,300 Kelvin;\n• daylight white \u002F cool white: temperature above 5,300 Kelvin.\nControl advantages\nLED luminaires also offer features that alter traditional control and monitoring \nprocesses. In the case of automatic presence-dependent control in office \nenvironments, for example, the switch-off delay of fluorescent tube luminaires \ncannot be too short: a value of at least 15-20 minutes avoids too frequent \nswitching that would damage the tubes. The advent of LED luminaires makes \nit possible to shorten the switch-off delay considerably, without any negative \neffects on the life of the light sources.  \nColour rendering ratio\nThe colour rendering value (generally referred to as Ra) depends mainly on the \nspectral composition of the artificial light and assesses how well the lighting \nreproduces natural colours compared to a reference light source. Values of Ra = \n100 denote very good colour rendering: modern LED sources are characterised \nby very good values.\nLight sources sold in the EU at 28\nmln pz. \u002F year\nIncandescence\nHalogen\nHID\nLFL\nCFL\nLED\n2011\n0\n500\n1000\n1500\n2000\n2500\n2012\n2016\n2020\nSource: Lighting Europe\nRelative intensity in %\nWavelength in nanometers (nm)\n380\n20 \n40 \n60 \n80 \n100 \n0\n580\n480\n680\n730\n430\n630\n530\n780\nBlue LED\nGreen LED\nRed LED\nSales by source type in the 2010-2030 sustainable development scenario (source: IEA)\nSingle Lighting Regulation\nIn December 2019, the EU Regulation 2019\u002F2020 came into force, integrating \ninto a single text - the Single Lighting Regulation - all the elements of the \nEcodesign legislation concerning lighting products that until then had been \ncovered by different Regulations (EC 244\u002F2009, EC 245\u002F2009 and EU \n1194\u002F2012). The new criteria will come into force on 1 September 2021 and \nthe previous Regulations will be repealed. The main objective of the Regulation \nis simplification to make the legislation easier to apply and to verify by national \nauthorities. Taking into account the ongoing transition to LED technology, the \naim is to have durable and innovative products in Europe that can be repaired \nand replaced by light sources.\nArt. 4 looks at the issue of removal of light sources and lighting units separate \npower supply by defining characteristics such as:\n• replaceable without permanent damage to the container;\n• accessibility for verification purposes;\n• removability at the end of its useful life.\nIt is precisely the evolution towards LED technology that has made it necessary \nto clarify certain definitions:\n• Light source’ is the electrical component that emits light or, for non-\nincandescent light sources, is adjusted to emit light (or both). Not to be \nconsidered as light sources are LED chips, LED dies or LED packages; products \ncontaining one or more light sources which can be removed for testing \npurposes; parts which emitting light contained in a light source from which it \ncannot be removed for verification as a light source;\n• Containing product’ includes one or more separate light source(s) or \nballast(s), or both. This is the case, for example, with luminaires which can \nbe dismantled for the purpose of separate light source verification or with \nhousehold appliances containing one light source. However, if a container \nproduct cannot be disassembled to check the light source and the separate \nballast unit, it is considered to be a light source;\n• Control gear’ is a device, physically integrated in the light source or not, \nwhich converts the mains power supply into the electrical format required by \nthe light source. This may include transforming the supply and trigger voltage, \nlimiting the operating and preheating current, preventing cold start, correcting \nthe power factor and\u002For reducing radio interference.\nWith the entry into force of the Single Light Regulation, other light sources are \nbeing phased out, in particular:\n• from 1 September 2021, halogen lamps with an R7s cap with an output of \nmore than 2,700 lm;\n• from 1 September 2023, 18, 36 and 58W fluorescent tubes with G13 lamp \ncaps and halogen lamps with G9, G4 and GY6.35 caps.\nThe measure also includes higher efficiency thresholds for LED sources and the \nintroduction of requirements to limit flickering of light sources.\nLifespan and durability\nFor LED (and OLED) light sources, the EU Regulation 2019\u002F2020 defines \n‘lifetime’ as L70B50, i.e. the number of hours between the start of use and the \ntime when for 50 % of the light source population the output has gradually \ndecreased to less than 70 % of the initial luminous flux. From 1 September 2021 \nthe service life must be indicated on the source itself.\nSituation and perspectives\nThe last few years have seen a great evolution in the field of light sources.

In confined spaces there is often not much natural light available and artificial \nlighting remains on for many hours, so we can lose contact with the dynamic pattern of \ndaylight due to the constant level of artificial lighting. What are the consequences for the \nbody? Lack of daylight during the day tends to change the functioning of the internal clock \nand alter the phases of sleep and wakefulness to a greater or lesser extent with a negative \neffect on chronobiological rhythms and, in extreme cases, cause health problems.\nHuman Centric Lighting (HCL)\nTHE NEW DESIGN PARADIGM\nThe effect of lighting on humans\nFor a long time, the main objective of lighting was to satisfy the visual needs of human \nbeings: in environments with insufficient natural light, simple and obvious actions such \nas seeing and being seen, identifying obstacles, reading or distinguishing colours are \npossible thanks to artificial lighting. In recent years there has been a focus on the need \nto reduce energy consumption in buildings and the resulting emissions of pollutant and \nclimate-altering gases. For this reason, the revolution caused by the advent of LED sources \nhas been appreciated above all from the point of view of the gain in energy efficiency; less \nattention has been paid to the great potential for control and new applications that this \ntechnology offers. At the same time, it became clear that light also has other relevant \neffects on human beings besides the purely visual one: biological effects and emotional \neffects. It is common experience that light is not neutral when considering aspects of \neveryday life such as mood or the waking and sleeping cycle. But a decisive step in \ndemonstrating that circadian rhythms are correlated with light conditions was taken in \n2001, with the scientific discovery of the presence of a third photoreceptor in the human \neye alongside those already known: rods and cones.\n \nLight and the internal clock\nOver hundreds of thousands of years, the body has adapted to the alternation of day and \nnight. In humans, it is natural light that synchronises the internal clock, which plays a key \nrole in controlling not only the daily waking and sleeping phases, but also the heart rate, \nblood pressure and mood. To this end, the body naturally produces hormones such as \ncortisol and melatonin, which are counter-cyclical. Early in the morning, the production \nof cortisol - also known as the ‘stress hormone’ - begins, which has a stimulating effect \non many functions in the body and promotes awakening, activation and concentration. \nWithout an increase in cortisol levels, it would be difficult to get up in the morning and \nmuch more difficult to carry out daily activities. After peaking around 9 a.m., its level \nin the blood steadily decreases throughout the day. Melatonin production, on the other \nhand, begins in the late afternoon. Known as the ‘sleep hormone’, it slows down the body’s \nfunctions and lowers activity levels to facilitate sleep. Melatonin levels are already high \nat midnight and reach their peak around 3am; the first light of day stops their production.\nVisual\n������\n���������\n������\n����������\n������\nHCL\n����������������\nSMART LIGHTING\nSMART LIGHTING\n20\n21\n",11,{"image":58,"text":59,"number":60},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fb5\u002Fca13c682899a438f1fe2daca5cbcc1-26fdbbcb77.12.png","The answer: HCL lighting control\nFor people who spend a lot of time in buildings with little or no daylight, it would be ideal \nto have a system that could light with daylight-like dynamics. Today, technology makes \nthis relatively easy, thanks to the convergence of the LED revolution, intelligent control \nand advanced, higher performance luminaires. This makes it possible to create lighting \nsystems that better support circadian rhythms, aiding concentration, improving mood and \nwell-being and preventing sleep disorders. This is the revolutionary concept of HCL or \nHuman Centric Lighting: providing high-quality light in the required quantity at all times, \nwhile always focusing on the individual needs and well-being of people.\nThe components of HCL control\nThree components are required to implement lighting control that follows circadian \nrhythms:\n• light sources adjustable in intensity and with the possibility of varying \nthe shade of white light emitted;\n• an intelligent control system to support the function;\n• luminaires with light emission over a wide area, possibly with direct and \nindirect components.\nLED sources have made this much easier than in the past: they are able to emit different \nshades of white light and the intensity of their output can be easily controlled by digital \nsystems. In addition, more and more luminaires have versions with independently \nswitchable direct and indirect light components. In this way, over the course of the day, \nit is possible to gradually vary the colour temperature from cold white in the morning \nto neutral tones closer to daylight in the evening. This allows the colour temperature to \ngradually change from cool white in the morning to neutral tones closer to daylight in the \nmiddle of the day - and then to warm white in the evening, while at the same time reducing \nthe emitted intensity and making greater use of the indirect component. \nThis management of artificial light has a positive biological effect, as it tends to \nstabilise the day-night rhythm of human beings. The Ekinex control system uses open, \ninteroperable KNX technology with sensors, actuators and a supervisory system that work \nin coordination not only with each other, but also with the other technical systems in the \nbuilding. In order to take account of the fact that light has different effects at different \ntimes of day, the astronomical clock integrated into the Delégo control system makes it \npossible to reproduce the course of daylight dynamically throughout the year, gradually \nswitching from one lighting scenario to the next. \nEasy interfacing to the DALI standard also means that almost any requirement can be \nmet. Without the intelligence built into every Ekinex device, it would be very difficult \nto translate the objectives of an HCL control into reality. A few examples? At home, \npeople often get up when the alarm clock goes off at a time that does not correspond \nexactly to their individual rhythm. For a more natural and less traumatic awakening, a \ngradual increase in artificial light can be envisaged.  When moving to the kitchen to have \nbreakfast, increased brightness and a colour tone closer to natural light - with a high blue \nlight component - stimulates and has an activating effect on the body; at the same time \nwall-mounted luminaires are also switched on for a more even distribution of brightness. \nIn the workplace, light supports people’s visual tasks to the best of its ability; correct \nilluminance and glare-free light as prescribed by legislation are essential prerequisites, \nbut a white light colour with a tendency to cool helps to maintain cognitive performance \nand concentration over a longer period of time.\nMidnight\n00:00\nMidday\n12:00\nMorning\nEvening\n06:00\n18:00\nHigh\nattention\nImproved\ncoordination\nOnset\nof drowsiness\nDeep sleep\nand physical recovery\nEarly\nawakening\nQuicker\nreaction\ntime\nSource: Lighting Europe\nBiological (non-visual) effects of Human Centric Lighting\nImpact\nDefinition\nExamples\nFeeling\nMood\nEmotional state describing the positive or negative disposition that is infl uenced by personality traits, sleep, \n(social) context and behaviour.\nAff ective state, depression prevention,\nanxiety prevention\nEnergy\nBringing the body and mind into a state of general wakefulness and activity readiness.\nIncreased level of activation, vitality\nRelax\nThe emotional state of reduced tension and emotional pressure, while feeling at ease.\nReduced activation level, reduced stress\nOperativity\nAttention spam\nThe state of active attention due to high sensory awareness\nIncreased concentration, vigilance, accident and error prevention\nMental performance including working memory, language production and comprehension, learning, \nreasoning, problem solving, complex response, decision making\nImprovement of memory, learning,\ncreativity, motivation\nSalute\nSleep\u002Fwake cycle A stable 24-hour rhythm of rest and activity, controlled by an individual’s biological clock, is essential for \noptimised functioning during the day and for a good night’s rest to promote sound health.\nDisease\u002Fdisorder prevention, treatment and mitigation (dementia, \nSAD, ADHD, schizophrenia, sleep disorders), social jetlag, \nchronomedication, improved healing environments\n1.

The basic objective is to position transparent surfaces (such as windows, \nskylights or continuous glazing) and interior reflective surfaces appropriately so that \nnatural light can provide effective illumination throughout the day. While an essential \npart of daylighting undoubtedly relates to the planning of the building site and the \narchitectural design of the building envelope, it should not be underestimated that \ncoordination with two key functions of building automation systems such as artificial \nlighting and shading is also essential for its effectiveness. \nDaylighting\nOPTIMUM USE OF DAYLIGHT\nNatural light as a resource\nDaylight is the combination of direct and indirect light from the sun throughout the day; of \nall the solar energy received at the earth’s surface, 40% is visible radiation. The interiors \nof buildings need light to carry out various activities and the natural component is a very \nimportant resource that can have beneficial effects on people and the energy balance.\nRecognising this, the EN 17037 standard was published in 2019 to promote the wider \nuse of natural light - defined as that ‘visible part of global solar radiation’ - for indoor \nlighting. The standard provides information on how to use this light component to provide \nillumination and limit glare, while also defining principles for calculation and verification \nand taking into account the typical variability of natural light throughout the day and year. \nThe standard applies to rooms which are regularly occupied by people for long periods, \nexcept in particular cases where natural light is incompatible with the nature and task of \nthe work being performed.\nUNI EN 17037 standard defines the fundamental contributions of daylighting as:\n• The external view. Openings not only provide natural light, but also allow \noccupants visual contact with the area surrounding the building. This is seen as a \npositive factor in reducing the fatigue associated with long periods in the confined \nenvironment, providing an opportunity to relax and relieve excessive concentration;\n• Protection from glare. When there is direct sunlight, viewing outdoors can cause \nglare, a negative phenomenon caused by areas that have a much higher luminance \nthan the eyes have adapted to in the indoor environment. To reduce this risk, \nshading devices should be provided;\n• Exposure to sunlight. This factor is of great importance in the quality of the indoor \nenvironment and contributes to the well-being of the occupants, especially in \nbuildings such as hospitals, homes or school buildings. The use of shading devices \ncan reduce possible thermal and visual discomfort.\nSunlight \n(from the sun)\nSkylight  \n(from clouds\nand atmosphere)\n��������\nlight  \n(from the ground,\nvegetation, other \nbuildings, etc.)\nWhy is daylight important?\n• 63% of people consider daylight to be the most important aspect of a home (Homewise \nsurvey, “Without space + light”)\n• Daylight improves visual and psychological comfort and has a positive eff ect on people’s \nperformance, attention, satisfaction and ability to learn\n• Daylight relieves seasonal aff ective disorder (SAD, a form of depression)\n• Exposure to sunlight has been shown to be an eff ective treatment for sleep disorders\n• Daylight through windows is the key factor in providing the high levels of light needed to \nsupport the functioning of the circadian system.\n(source: www.lrc.rpi.edu)\nSMART LIGHTING\nSMART LIGHTING\n24\n25\n",13,{"image":66,"text":67,"number":68},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fb5\u002Fca13c682899a438f1fe2daca5cbcc1-26fdbbcb77.14.png","Limits to the use of daylight\nWhere permitted by the building envelope, natural light can be the primary source of daylight \nduring the middle of the day for most of the year, through openings in vertical (doors, \nwindows, glazing) and horizontal (skylights) surfaces. \nBut the availability of natural light outdoors is typically very variable, depending for example \non the time of day, weather conditions and time of year. Latitude also plays an important role: \nin the capitals of the European Union, the average annual hours of daylight available range \nfrom 3,600 in Valletta to 1,550 in Brussels and 3,150 in Rome. Although the positive effects \nof daylight on human beings have been scientifically proven, it is important to ensure that it \nis glare-free and respects the privacy of the occupants. \nFinally, in the summer season, thermal loads - generated in the interior by direct sunlight \npassing through the glass surfaces - must be limited to avoid wasting energy through \nexcessive use of air conditioning. Because of these limitations, in real buildings the level of \nilluminance needed for good comfort cannot be achieved by natural light alone, but always \ncomes from an intelligent combination of natural and artificial light. \nRow 1\nRow 2\nRow 2\nPresence and brightness sensor\nSMART LIGHTING\nSMART LIGHTING\n26\n27\n",14,{"image":70,"text":71,"number":72},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fb5\u002Fca13c682899a438f1fe2daca5cbcc1-26fdbbcb77.15.png","GROUPING\nGroups of luminaires are created to be controlled together. \nWhen leaving a room, area or building, all luminaires can \nbe switched off in a single action.

In particular, the standard specifies what the lighting requirements are \nfor people - with normal visual capacity and working at indoor workstations - that \ncorrespond to the needs of visual comfort and visual performance. The standard \nconsiders all customary visual tasks, with a particular focus on those performed at \nworkstations with display screen equipment. An important aspect of the EN 12464-1 \nstandard is to consider the combination of quantitative and qualitative aspects, while \nemphasising the importance of light for people’s health and well-being. The standard \nalso highlights a highly topical issue: people receive positive stimuli and perceive \ngreater well-being when lighting conditions can be varied over time not only in terms \nof illuminance and luminance distribution, but also in terms of the colour temperature \nrange.\nLocation and workstation\nThe standard takes up and adapts already recognised definitions:\n• the workplace is intended to house workstations on the premises of the \nundertaking and\u002For establishment and any other place of work within the area \nof the undertaking and\u002For establishment to which the worker has access in the \ncourse of his work (Directive 89\u002F654\u002FEEC);\n• the workstation is the combination and spatial arrangement of the work \nequipment, surrounded by the work environment under the conditions imposed by \nthe work tasks (EN ISO 6385:2004).\nA number of parameters contribute to the characterisation of the lighting environment \nsuch as:\n• luminance distribution;\n• illuminance;\n• directionality of light and illumination of the interior space;\n• light variability (levels and colour);\n• colour rendering and colour appearance of light;\n• glare;\n• flicker.\nIlluminance in the area of the visual task\nIlluminance is a basic requirement for perceiving the visual task and performing it \nquickly, safely and comfortably; it is a quantitative parameter representing the \nlight power density per unit area. We speak more precisely of “average maintained \nilluminance” values; this term refers to the minimum illuminance value that can \nbe measured when the installation requires maintenance due to the decay of the \nluminous flux.  In fact, due to the reduction of the emission of the sources or to the dirt \naccumulated on the surfaces of reflectors or refractors, the flux is reduced over time \ncompared to the initial value (new system). \nWorkplace lighting\nNORMATIVE AND LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS\nLuminous fl ux and illuminance\n“Luminous fl ux” (Φv), or light output, is a measure of the perceived power of light. \nIt diff ers from “radiant flux” (Φe), which measures the total power of the emitted \nlight, in that it takes into account the sensitivity of the human eye to diff erent \nwavelengths of light. The characteristic luminous fl ux, on the other hand, is the \ninitial value of the flux of a lamp or luminaire declared by the manufacturer (or \nseller) with reference to specifi c conditions. The luminous fl ux is measured in \nlumen (lm).\nThe “illuminance” (Ev) at a point on a surface is the ratio of the luminous fl ux \nincident on an element of the surface containing the point to the area of the \nelement. Illuminance is measured in lux (lx = lm x m-2).\nSMART LIGHTING\n32\n33\n",17,{"image":82,"text":83,"number":84},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fb5\u002Fca13c682899a438f1fe2daca5cbcc1-26fdbbcb77.18.png","The standard lays down precise requirements for the illuminance of the workstation \nand the surrounding area. In particular, the following are defined:\n• a zone (A) within which the task is carried out (task zone);\n• a band (B) surrounding the task zone within the field of vision (immediate \nsurrounding zone). A band of at least 0,5 m around the task area shall be \nconsidered;\n• a zone (C) adjacent to the immediate surrounding area (background zone). A band \nof at least 3 m is considered adjacent to the immediate surrounding area.\nTo avoid visual fatigue and discomfort, illuminance should not vary too much from \nthe area of the work task to the immediate surrounding area. For this reason, the \nilluminance of the surrounding area must be related to that of the area where the \nwork task is carried out; the values recommended by the standard are given in the \ntable. The background area itself must meet minimum illuminance levels, particularly \nin environments without daylight.\nGlare\nWhen there are surfaces with high luminance gradients within the field of vision, glare \nis perceived, a visual sensation that generates fatigue and visual discomfort. While \nglare due to an internal light source can be avoided by appropriate shading of the \nlighting fixture, glazed surfaces (doors, windows, skylights) subject to direct sunlight \nare screened with movable shading devices such as blinds, shutters or Venetian blinds; \nfor coordinated operation, they should be controlled by the same building automation \nsystem that controls the lighting.\nColour\nWhen talking about the colour of light, the standard considers two parameters:\n• the colour temperature (Tcp);\n• the colour rendering index (Ra).\nWhile the appearance of daylight typically varies over the course of the day, the \nappearance of artificial light is determined by the choice of light source; here we \nenter the field of psychological research, aesthetic evaluation and the relationship \nwith other choices made for the environment such as the level of illuminance, the \ncolour of walls or furniture.

The reference in Italy has long been Law 626 of 1994, which considered \nlighting in Article 10 “Natural and artificial lighting of workplaces”. Following the \napproval of the delegated law 123, Law 626 was replaced by Legislative Decree 81, \nwhich led to a simplification of the regulations by creating a single text on safety at \nwork.\nReferences\nCEI EN 12464-1 Light and lighting - Lighting of workplaces - Part 1: Indoor workplaces \nLegislative Decree no. 81 of 9 April 2008, Consolidated text on health and safety at work, \nimplementation of Article 1 of Law no. 123 of 3 August 2007 on the protection of health \nand safety in the workplace.\nColour temperature\nColour temperature is an intuitive concept nowadays even for final users who buy \nLED lamps for home appliances as a retrofit to traditional incandescent or compact \nfluorescent lamps with standard E27 or E14 socket: the value (expressed in Kelvin \ndegrees) is indicated on the packaging together with a qualitative description such \nas ‘cold light’, ‘neutral light’ or ‘warm light’. In more rigorous terms, the colour \ntemperature is a parameter obtained by comparing it with the luminous variation \nthat occurs when heating a black body; as the temperature increases, the light \nemission of the body gradually changes from red to orange, to yellow, to white, \nto blue-white. The colour temperature of a light source is therefore defi ned as the \ntemperature at which the colour of the black body corresponds exactly to that of \nthe light source.\nIlluminance of visual \ntask area [lx]\nMinimum illuminance of \nsurrounding area [lx]\nIlluminance of the\nbackground area [lx]\n≥ 750\n500\n> 500 \u002F 3\n500\n300\n> 300 \u002F 3\n300\n200\n> 200 \u002F 3\n≤ 200\nSame illuminance as the visual \ntask area\nIllumination of the visual\ntask area \u002F 3\nzone (A)\nzone (B)\nzone (C)\nColor Appearance\nProximate color temperature Tcp\nWarm\nless than 3,300 K\nIntermediate\nbetween 3,300 K and 5,300 K\nCold\ngreater than 5,300 K\n35\nSMART LIGHTING\n34\n",18,{"image":86,"text":87,"number":88},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fb5\u002Fca13c682899a438f1fe2daca5cbcc1-26fdbbcb77.19.png","EKINEX SOLUTIONS\nWALL-MOUNTED CONTROLS\n38\nPushbuttons are the most common interface between the lighting system and end users and are present in almost all applications. Depending on their configuration, \npushbuttons can either perform a simple on\u002Foff command or continuously adjust the brightness, hue and colour of light sources. They can also control groups of \nluminaires, call up scenes and sequences and, thanks to integrated LEDs, inform users about the status of luminaires or be easily detected in the absence of light.\nPRESENCE SENSORS\n48\nPresence sensors are commonly used controls to automatically switch luminaires on and\u002For off in a large number of different applications. They offer energy savings \nand increased comfort of use in the building and can also be used to detect simple movement in transit areas. They can be used multifunctionally to control heating, \ncooling and ventilation systems as well as lighting. Versions equipped with a light sensor allow the lighting to be controlled according to available daylight.\nINPUTS\n46\nThe inputs make it possible to connect traditional sensors and controls to the bus system; thanks to the binary inputs, even traditional civil series controls can be \nintegrated into the building automation system. They are available in a version for panel mounting on DIN rails or in a compact version for flush mounting in a wall \nbox.\nINPUT AND OUTPUT MODULES\n56\nTo meet the complex requirements of office environments and hotel rooms, dedicated input and output modules are available to control and monitor the main room \nfunctions, including lighting, in a very compact solution. Operation can be in combination with Ekinex pushbuttons or conventional controls connected to specially \nconfigured inputs.\nACTUATORS AND DIMMERS\n60, 70\nIn addition to actuators, which enable the switching on and off of individual luminaires or groups of luminaires, there are dimmers, which greatly extend the \npossibilities of controlling artificial light, saving energy and helping to prolong the life of light sources. Whereas in the past dimmers could only vary the brightness \nof the light source, they can now control the colour and shade (cold-warm) of white light. \nGATEWAY\n68\nGateways perform the important function of transparently connecting devices, systems and networks that live together in the same building but use different \nprotocols. They act as protocol converters and ensure interoperability at a higher level between global standards in their respective fields such as KNX, DALI and \nDMX512. \nSUPERVISION\n77\nWhen the building automation system is enriched with more functions, it is ideal to control and monitor the system locally and remotely by means of supervision. \nThe interface for end users can be either an app for mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets (with Apple iOS or Android operating systems), a PC, wall-\nmounted touch panels or any combination of these. \nVOICE CONTROL\n87\nVoice control, integrated into the Delégo lighting control system or as a stand-alone solution, offers the possibility of interacting with the lighting in the most \nnatural way possible, without even having to press a button or use an App: thanks to home speakers with voice assistants always listening, the light is switched on, \noff or dimmed simply by saying a sentence after the activation word. \n",19,{"image":90,"text":91,"number":92},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fb5\u002Fca13c682899a438f1fe2daca5cbcc1-26fdbbcb77.20.png","Ekinex products are developed and manufactured in Italy. Thanks to a qualified and \ncompetent team, Ekinex has created a product that represents the essence of Made \nin Italy design, attention to detail, state-of-the-art technology and innovation. \nDesigned for a global market, Ekinex products are an expression of the new Italian \ntradition that combines attention to craftsmanship in product manufacture and \nhigh levels of technology. Ekinex promotes the idea of an Italian design that is \nnot merely an aesthetic exercise, but includes, as basic elements, ease of use, \nimmediate understanding of function and the balanced and intelligent application \nof technology. Technology makes life easier, design makes it more enjoyable.\nThe 20venti series\nThe 20venti series of wall-mounted controls offers decidedly innovative contents, \nthanks to the backlighting of the buttons by means of RGB LEDs and the proximity \nsensor. The integrated LEDs are freely programmable; in addition to the usual \nfunctions of status indication or night orientation light, the colour setting enables \nnew applications and more intuitive and immediate use by the end user - a feature \nthat is enhanced by the additional possibility of customising the individual keys \nwith text and symbols. \nThe integrated proximity sensor opens up new possibilities. \nThanks to a PIR component that is completely invisible from the outside, the \naesthetics remain unchanged; however, the button is able to detect the passage \nof people in the immediate vicinity of the luminaire (short-range detection) and \ninitiate bus functions according to individual requirements: from the simplest, such \nas activating the backlighting of the button itself or changing the light intensity, to \nthe most complex, such as calling up sequences or scenarios, through to switching \non individual luminaires or groups of luminaires. Activating the backlighting only \nwhen necessary allows the button to be freely positioned without fear of disturbing \neffects when resting at night.  The detection can also be received via bus from \nother Ekinex devices. As with other Ekinex control series, the 20venti buttons have \nan integrated temperature sensor and can also function as a room thermostat for a \nroom or an entire zone in a building.\nThe Ekinex controls\nTECHNOLOGY MEETS DESIGN\nGeometric shapes and balances\nThe aesthetic style of a product that furnishes, with clean and essential lines, exact \nand harmonious volumes. The concept stems from the idea of transforming an \neveryday object into a pleasant piece of furniture.

on the extension of the \nuseful life of light sources and other electronic components of the luminaires.\nMovement and presence\nThere is no single definition that distinguishes presence sensors from motion sensors; \ntwo fairly common criteria take into account the application to be implemented and the \ndetection capability of the device.\nMotion detection is generally required in those environments where there is little or no \nnatural light and lighting is needed for a limited period of time: these may typically be \npassageways such as corridors or stairwells, underground passages, common parts of \nbasements, access to warehouses or garages; but also pedestrian routes outside the \nbuilding during the evening and night hours. \nPresence detection is used in environments where there is ample availability of daylight \nand activities are carried out for extended periods, with the possibility of interruption at \ntimes that cannot be defined in advance, and therefore unsuitable for management with \na timer: for example, work and production environments, classrooms, meeting rooms or \ntransit areas where there is plenty of daylight. \nCompared to simple motion detectors, presence detectors have a higher resolution lens \nand are able to detect even small movements in a limited area of the detection field: for \nexample, the operation of a mouse or keyboard by a person sitting at their workstation.\nPresence detection\nand movement\nAUTOMATIC CONTROL\nPassive Infra-Red Technology\nFor building automation applications, most motion and occupancy sensors use \npassive infrared (PIR) technology, which uses the thermal radiation naturally \nemitted by the human body. Sensors based on this technology do not emit \nelectromagnetic radiation, but only detect changes in thermal radiation that occur \nwithin their detection range: this is the reason for the “passive” attribute given to \nthis type of sensors. \nH\nR1\nR2\nH = mounting height\nR1 = presence detection range\nR2 = motion detection range\n49\nSMART LIGHTING\n48\n",25,{"image":114,"text":115,"number":116},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fb5\u002Fca13c682899a438f1fe2daca5cbcc1-26fdbbcb77.26.png","Automatic or semi-automatic operation\nThe presence sensors can be configured for automatic or semi-automatic operation:\n• in automatic operation the lighting is switched on and off  according to the presence or \nabsence of movement in the detection fi eld and\u002For according to the level of daylight \nmeasured in the room;\n• in semi-automatic operation, the lighting is automatically switched off  in the absence \nof movement and\u002For in the event of suffi  cient daylight; it is always switched on \nmanually by means of a bus button, an App on a smartphone or a voice command. \nWith this mode of operation it is possible to achieve greater energy savings than with \nautomatic operation.\nIn some applications the stand-by function is useful; when no movement is detected for a \nfixed period of time (corresponding to the stand-by time), the lighting can be adjusted to \na lower intensity level; if no further movement is detected, the lighting is automatically \nswitched off, once the stand-by time has expired. \nDetection field\nThe shape of the detection field of presence sensors is typically 180° (semi-circular) \nor 360° (circular); the former is characteristic of wall-mounted sensors, the latter of \nceiling-mounted sensors. The detection capability and accuracy of a presence sensor is \ninfluenced by several factors:\n• the amplitude and speed of movement;\n• the temperature difference between the person and the environment;\n• the direction of movement (tangential or radial to the detection area);\n• the distance of the sensor from the moving person.\nThe size of the detection area is determined by two values in the technical documentation \nof the devices: the smaller value refers to the central area where even small movements \nare sufficient for detection, the larger value refers to the larger area where larger \nmovements are necessary. The detection area of a presence sensor can however be \nextended by configuring a presence sensor as a ‘master’ device and one or more sensors \nof the same type as ‘slave’ devices.\nMaster\nSlave\nSlave\nSlave\nExtended zone: \nmotion\ndetection\n360°\nCentral zone: \npresence\ndetection\nTangential direction:\nhigh sensitivity due\nto the crossing of several\ndetection sectors\nLarge movements\nLittle movements\nMounting height\nRadial direction:\nlower sensitivity\nfor crossing fewer\ndetection sectors\nConstant brightness control\nA brightness sensor integrated in the luminaires enables constant brightness control in \ncombination with luminaires equipped with dimmable sources. \nSwitch-off delay\nThe switch-off delay is set during the sensor configuration phase and is the time interval \nbetween the last movement detected (or the achievement of a pre-set daylight threshold) \nand the actual switch-off of the lighting. Values between 10 seconds and 20 minutes \nare quite frequent; however, this parameter depends not only on the application to be \nimplemented and the intended use of the environment, but also on the available light \nsources. Just think of the case of those corridors of office buildings crossed with such a \nfrequency that presence sensors configured with a delay of 15 minutes never turn off the \nlights throughout the day; in the case of fluorescent sources a delay time of less than 15 \nminutes is generally not used because of both the long on time and the shortening of the \nuseful life, while in the case of LED sources a delay of a couple of minutes can be achieved \nwithout problems.\nAs an example of how:\n• passages with low crossing frequency, such as corridors in basements or cloakrooms: \n5 to 15 minutes;\n• passages with a high frequency of crossings, such as main corridors, stairwells or lift \nlandings: 1 to 2 minutes. Here the light source is decisive: delay times of 1 minute only \nmake sense in combination with LED technology;\n• main rooms, such as offi  ces or classrooms: 5 minutes (with LED lamps) to 15 minutes \n(with fluorescent lamps)\nAutomatic control in standards\nAppendix K of UNI CEN\u002FTR 15193-2 defines automatic lighting controls activated by \nsensors that react to occupancy (presence and movement) and light level. With regard \nto occupancy, a distinction is made between absence detection and presence detection \nwhich correspond to different ways of configuring presence sensors, as shown in the table \nbelow.\nDaylight harvesting and constant illuminance control\nA distinction is made between two requirements for light level control: daylight harvesting \nand constant illuminance. A prerequisite for both is adjustable luminaires. In the first \ncase, the required illumination is provided totally or partially by daylight during most of \nthe occupancy period and artificial lighting has a simple daylight supplementing role. The \nestimated energy saving compared to purely manual control is around 60%. In the second \ncase, the artificial lighting adjusts the luminous flux to maintain the required illuminance \nin order to compensate for performance degradation over time. This type of control offers \nenergy savings of around 15% compared to purely manual control. \nEkinex combined sensors, capable of detecting both presence and light level, can combine \nthe different control conditions required by the standard and provide savings of up to 75% \ncompared to purely manual control. \nMultifunctional use of sensors\nThe availability of several independent lighting control channels is particularly useful for \nrooms with multiple luminaires with different functions, e.g. basic\u002Forientation lighting and \nmain\u002Faccent lighting.\nIn building automation, however, it is frequently necessary to control several technical \nsystems - in addition to lighting alone - in the same rooms or areas. A typical example \nis heating, cooling and ventilation functions: to take into account the particularities of \ncontrolling these systems, which differ from lighting, presence sensors usually offer one \nor more channels specifically dedicated to the automatic control of HVAC functions. In \naddition, an alarm channel can activate or deactivate a load or a group of loads according \nto the number of movements (trigger events) detected in a certain time interval.\nIn this way, a single presence sensor can be used multifunctionally for lighting, HVAC \nand alarm signalling with advantages in terms of convenience, ease of connection and \naesthetics, thanks to the installation of just one device in the room.\nNormative references \nUNI EN 15193-1 Energy performance of buildings - Energy requirements for lighting - \nPart 1: Specifications, module M9\nUNI CEN\u002FTR 15193-2 Energy performance of buildings - Energy requirements for \nlighting - Part 2: Explanation and justification of EN 15193-1, module M9\nAutomatic control according to occupancy \n(source: UNI CEN\u002FTR 15193-2) \nSensors of\nEkinex presence\nTechnique of \ndetection\nSwitching \nOn\nSwitching \nOff\nEstimated savings \n(compared to \nmanual control)\nMode of\nAbsence \ndetection\nManual\nAutomatic\napprox. 35%\nSemi-automatic\nPresence \ndetection\nAutomatic\nAutomatic\napprox. 30%\nAutomatic\nSMART LIGHTING\nSMART LIGHTING\n50\n51\n",26,{"image":118,"text":119,"number":120},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fb5\u002Fca13c682899a438f1fe2daca5cbcc1-26fdbbcb77.27.png","Movement sensor\nSENSORI\nEK-CLM-GAA\nDocumentation\nFor further details, consult the technical sheet\nSTEKSM2TP_EN.pdf, available for download from www.ekinex.com\nVersions\nCode\n EK-SM2-TP\nDocumentation\nFor further details, consult the technical sheet\nSTEKDF2TP_EN.pdf, available for download da www.ekinex.com\nVersions\nCode\n EK-DF2-TP\nEK-DF2-TP\nEK-QR6-IR\nDescription\nThe Ekinex® EK-SM2-TP movement sensor detects movement and presence of people \nin a semi-circular area.

Alongside quantity, \na higher quality of light is increasingly appreciated; for this, it is necessary to \novercome the traditional concept of control which only allows switching on and \noff. The light intensity emitted by the lighting fixtures can be controlled thanks to \ndimming, individually or in groups, and this can satisfy different needs: for example, \ngreater visual comfort, providing exactly the amount of light needed where and \nwhen required. In other cases, dimming is useful when there is great availability of \nnatural light that can be exploited, reducing the component of artificial light. Where \nnon-negligible power requirements or long turn-on\u002F turn-off times are at stake, the \nbrightness control is also effectively used to save energy and extend the useful life \nof light sources and electronic components: this is the typical case, for example, of \noffice environments or production areas. \nTraditional techniques\nLeading edge phase dimmers reduce the current flow that feeds the load; for a long \ntime this technique has been used for the dimming of incandescent and halogen \nlamps. For this purpose, the power supply wiring of the lamps is used; due to the ban \nimposed on these sources by many countries (in the EU starting from the Commission \nRegulation 244\u002F2009), this type of dimming has rapidly decreased in importance. \nThe 1... 10V analog interface represented another very common technique in \ncombination with fluorescent tubes and dimmable electronic ballasts (EVG) equipped \nwith the appropriate interface. In this case, the reactor supplies the control voltage \nwhich can be modified by means of a regulation device based on the variation of the \nelectrical resistance; for this purpose, a separate additional electrical connection is \nrequired, while the switching on and off takes place through the connection of the \n230 Vac power supply network. \nThe arrival of bus systems for building automation has made it possible to use \nactuators \u002F dimmers, with dedicated 1 ... 10V control outputs, and to connect them \nto the network for group controls, lighting scenarios and coordinated operation with \nother functions.  The diffusion of digital communication interfaces on board of the \nlighting bodies - in particular those with DALI standard - is reducing the use of the\n1 ... 10V dimming technique.\nHue and colour adjustments\nLED lamps have quickly become the most popular light sources on the market; they \noffer a number of adjustment which previously were difficult to realize, such as \nsuch as warm \u002F cool white light and color control. Applications that reproduce the \nvariation in colour temperature typical of natural light in indoor environments, such \nas HCL control, have become possible at very affordable costs. There is a difference \nin control between the modes: \n• DIM TO WARM: with the “dim to warm” control the colour of the light becomes \nwarmer as the brightness is reduced;\n• TUNABLE WHITE: With the “tunable white” control the brightness and colour of \nthe light are set separately.\nSpecial features of LED sources\nFrom a technical point of view, LEDs are ideal to dimming, a feature that is not true \nfor all light sources, as in the case of discharge lamps. However, there are different \ntypes of LED sources such as:\n• LED lamps without integrated driver; \n• LED lamps with integrated driver and 230 Vac mains voltage power supply;\n• LED lamps with integrated driver, very low voltage power supply (12 \u002F 24V).\nOnly some of the most common control systems are automatically suitable for \ndimming LED lamps: to define the most suitable solution, it is therefore always \nnecessary to check in advance the compatibility between sources and control devices.\nThe LED sources can be dimmed either by analog dimming by adjusting the current \nor by using the PWM technique (pulse-width modulation). In the latter case, the \ncurrent flow through the LED is interrupted rhythmically with a certain frequency. \nThe greater the intervals between the current delivery phases, the lower the actual \nand average current through the LED and therefore the perceived brightness. PWM \nfrequencies higher than 300 Hz are not perceptible to the human eye and therefore \nno flickering is noticeable, despite a modulation in progress. \n Light adjustment\nDIMMER\nI\nt\n100 %\nI\nt\n80 %\nI\nt\n20 %\nAnalog LED dimming\nI\nt\n100 %\nI\nt\n80 %\nI\nt\n20 %\nPWM LED dimming\nEVG\nEVG\nEVG\nEVG\nEVG\nEVG\nActuators \u002F dimmers with\nbus communication and\ncontrol output 1...10V\nControl\nsignal 1...10V\n230 Vac\npower supply\nDimmable electronic ballasts\nwith 1...10V interface\n \n \nGateway\nKNX\nDALI\nDALI\n- - - - -\n- - - - -\nDALI\nEVG\nDALI\nEVG\nDALI\nEVG\nDALI\nEVG\nDALI\nEVG\nDALI\nEVG\nDALI\nEVG\nDALI\nEVG\nmax. 64 DALI ballasts\n2-fold dimming actuator\nDIMMERS\nSMART LIGHTING\nSMART LIGHTING\n64\n65\n",33,{"image":146,"text":147,"number":148},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fb5\u002Fca13c682899a438f1fe2daca5cbcc1-26fdbbcb77.34.png","Description\nThe Ekinex® EK-GC1-TP 4-fold RGBW LED dimmer allows to regulate independently \nthe light intensity emitted by 4 LED strips at 12\u002F24 Vdc or, alternatively, to regulate \nthe light intensity and the colour emitted by a RGB or RGBW LED strip.

The main functions include the switching on \u002F off of lighting \ndevices (single or in groups), the dimming and the recall of lighting scenarios.\nOrigins and evolution\nDALI was originally developed by a group of leading lighting manufacturers as a standard \ninterface to enable digital control, configuration and interrogation of electronic ballasts \nfor fluorescent tubes, replacing traditional 0-10V or 1-10V analog control. Made \npublic for the first time at the end of the 90s, DALI has evolved and established itself \nand in a few years has become a standard protocol in the lighting sector and has been \nincluded in the international standard IEC 62386. As a result, long-term compatibility \nbetween manufacturers is ensured and the standard has become a guarantee for future \ndevelopments. DALI-2 represents the most recent version of the protocol, aimed at \ngreater functionality and interoperability of the devices; to take this into account, in 2014 \nIEC updated the standard. \nSystem philosophy\nSimilarly to KNX, DALI is a distributed intelligence system: each DALI device can exchange \ncoded information thanks to a standardized digital interface, a common communication \nprotocol and a shared transmission medium (bus). However, DALI is a master \u002F slave \nsystem, unlike KNX whose communication is typically peer-to-peer. In other words, on \nDALI the communication initiative is assigned exclusively to the master device, while the \nslaves merely respond to the query received from the master.\nConnectivity, topology and power supply\nA two-wire cable (recommended 1.5 mm2, 15 AWG) is sufficient to power the electronics \nand data transmission; it is not necessary to follow the polarity of the wires (+\u002F-), unlike \nsystems with 0-10 V or 1-10 V control. The maximum distance between two DALI devices \nis 300 m, while the system topology is free: linear and star connections can be combined, \nbut looping must be avoided. Each DALI system requires a bus power supply that can be \nprovided by a dedicated device or by another device connected to the bus; when DALI is \ninterfaced to KNX the power supply is provided by the KNX \u002F DALI Gateway EK-BG1-TP \nthat typically supplies 16 V (range: 9.5 V ... 22.5 V).\nAddressing and grouping\nA single DALI bus system provides 64 addresses for ballasts and 64 addresses for \ncontrollers. Similarly to KNX, DALI devices can also be programmed to operate in groups. \nThis offers great flexibility, since the lighting system can be reconfigured through a simple \nsoftware reprogramming, without the need to physically change the wiring. The grouping \nof devices includes:\n• 16 groups for the reactors; each device can be a member of any combination of the 16 \ngroups;\n• 32 groups for controllers; each device can be a member of any combination of the 32 \ngroups; \n• 32 groups for input device instances; each instance can be a member of up to 3 of \nthese groups.\nCommands and scenarios\nThe different types of DALI commands allow the control, configuration and interrogation \nof the various devices:\n• control commands: turn the lighting on or off , initiate fading at a certain brightness \nlevel or recall light scenario; \n• configuration commands: modify the fading time or change the brightness level stored \nin a scenario; \n• interrogation commands: request the current brightness level or the presence of a \nlamp failure.\nThe commands can be addressed to single devices, to groups of devices or broadcast \nindiscriminately to all devices, making communication efficient. Scenarios generally \ncontain a brightness level; alternatively, they can be set to “ignore”. When a scenario \nis recalled, the output goes to the stored brightness level or has no effect if “ignore” \nhas been set. Each reactor has 16 scenarios. A single GO TO SCENE command instructs \nall lighting fixtures or any combination of fixtures to go to predefined brightness levels.\nReferences\nCEI EN 62386 Addressable digital interface for lighting\nDALI\nDALI, DALI-2, the DALI logos and DALI-2 are registered trademarks in several countries\nfor the exclusive use of DiiA (Digital Illumination Interface Alliance).\nVersions\nCode\n EK-BG1-TP\nDocumentation\nFor further details, consult the technical sheet\nSTEKBG1TP_EN.pdf, available for download from www.ekinex.com\nInterfacing between KNX and DALI systems\nThe DALI system can be easily interfaced through a gateway to the KNX system \n- which performs the numerous and complex building automation functions in a \ncoordinated way - becoming a sub-system specifi cally dedicated to the lighting \nfunction. The digital nature of DALI allows two-way communication between \ndevices, so that each DALI device can indicate a fault or respond to a query about \nits status: the status feedback, \nfor example, can signal a faulty \nlamp and be transmitted to the \nKNX supervision via the KNX \u002F \nDALI gateway.\n1-10V\nDALI\nKNX\nPlans or sections\nof the building \nBuilding \nManagement\nSystem (BMS) \nIndividual rooms\nSMART LIGHTING\nSMART LIGHTING\n68\n69\n",35,{"image":154,"text":155,"number":156},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fb5\u002Fca13c682899a438f1fe2daca5cbcc1-26fdbbcb77.36.png","Description\nThe 1-channel DALI dimmer EK-GH1-DL allows lighting control of dimmable LED \nlight sources thanks to a KNX (TP) button connected via DALI\u002FKNX Gateway or by \nanother local control device, directly connected to the dedicated input selectable \namong normally open button, 0 to 10V analog input, 1 to 10V analog input or 10 k\npotentiometer.

This standard is oriented to \nguarantee interoperability both for communication and mechanics among controllers \nfrom different manufacturers.\nOrigin and evolution\nUSITT (United States Institute of Theatre Technology) develops and promotes a wide \nrange of technologic standards for theatric and show-business industry. Among \nthose, in 1986 USITT has developed DMX512 as standard protocol for lighting \ncontrol. In 1988 USITT has transferred the maintenance of the protocol to ESTA \n(Entertainment Services and Technology Association), a non-lucrative category \nassociation representing the entertainment industry of technology. In 2004, \nANSI (American National Standards Institute) approved the DMX512 standard and \nsubsequently other related rules. The standard is constantly reviewed and updated \nalong with the progress of technology: the devices which are compliant to the \n2008 release are marked with the DMX512-A notation in order to distinguish them \nfrom those developed according to the previous releases. Although developed and \nacknowledged in the US only, DMX512 is spread worldwide.\nStandard characteristics\nDMX512 is based on a serial asynchronous 8-bit protocol composed by an \nuncompressed byte stream which is produced by a standard universal asynchronous \nreceiver-transmitter (UART); the ‘512’ suffix refers to the maximum number of \naddresses configurable in a DMX field, called “DMX universe”. If two DMX devices \nconnected to a universe have the same address, they are controlled in parallel. The \ntransmission medium is normally (although not exclusively) a twin couple conductor, \nwith each couple acting as data connection. If necessary, repeaters can be used in \norder to overcome the length limit of a DMX network. The connection of the devices is \ncarried out with 5-pole XLR connectors or by physically connect the terminal blocks. \nThe data on the primary connection is sent in packets up to 513 slots; the first slot is \ncomposed by a starting code which defines the information on the subsequent slots \nof the packet. Interoperability among standard compliant devices is mostly due to the \nuse of the NULL START code by the transmitting devices. \nFields of application\nDMX512 is not a general-purpose lighting standard: both device designers \nand standard users use DMX512 for a limited range of applications, mostly for \nentertainment industry when a central direction console needs to control the \nscenic lighting composed by a big number of lights and effects, and for the scenic \nillumination of historic buildings. Other standards are more suitable for other uses: \nfor example, DMX512 cannot support a network designed to transmit sound and \nscenic actuators on the same transmission medium as lights.\nRules reference\nANSI E1.11 - Entertainment Technology USITT DMX512-A - Asynchronous Serial \nDigital Data Transmission Standard for Controlling Lighting Equipment and \nAccessories\nANSI E1.20 - Entertainment Technology RDM - Remote Device Management over \nUSITT DMX512\nANSI E1.17 - Entertainment Technology ACN – Architecture for Control Networks \n(Multipurpose Network Control Protocol Suite)\n DMX512\nDIGITAL MULTIPLEX\nVersions\nCode\n EK-BK1-TP\nDocumentation\nFor further details, consult the technical sheet\nSTEKBK1TP_EN.pdf, available for download at www.ekinex.com\n75\nSMART LIGHTING\n74\n",38,{"image":166,"text":167,"number":168},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fb5\u002Fca13c682899a438f1fe2daca5cbcc1-26fdbbcb77.39.png","Delégo\nSUPERVISION\nDelégo is a system for the supervision and control of a KNX  home automation system. \nDeveloped with web-oriented technologies, it has a uniform interface with high \ngraphical impact on every platform, both desktop (PC) and mobile (Apple iOS and \nAndroid devices), with both local and remote connection.

Simple voice prompts allow you to perform commands and controls, query \nluminaire status and initiate complete scenarios:\n• “[wake-up word], light up living room”;\n• “[wake-up word], set living room light at 70%”;\n• “[wake-up word], increase living room light by 20%”.\nThanks to dedicated skills, you can bring the most commonly used functions, \nappropriately marked in Delégo, back into your voice assistant to be controlled by \nvoice. Delégo server does not communicate directly with the voice assistants installed \nin different environments, but provides a cloud-to-cloud interaction with Amazon and \nGoogle voice services respectively. The voice command given and collected by the \nvoice assistant is processed by Amazon or Google services, and passed to the Ekinex \ncloud, so that the command is forwarded to the Delégo server. A similar path is \nfollowed for information requests: in this case, the server informs the cloud with the \nupdated status of the functions, and from there, the information is sent to the voice \nassistants, who synthesise it by voice.\nLogical functions\nDelégo’s logic functions significantly expand the possibilities for controlling the \nlighting system, as a powerful graphical function block development environment is \nintegrated into the configuration web server, allowing advanced logic to be created. A \ncomplete library of pre-packaged function blocks is provided, which can be dragged \nand dropped into the graphical environment and linked with variables and states \nacquired from the field via the KNX bus; the programs created are automatically \ntranslated into scripts in the Lua language and executed as independent tasks in the \nbackground on the server. The created programs are automatically translated into \nLua language and executed as independent tasks in the background on the server. \nThe tasks can react to events (change of state or value of KNX communication \nobjects) or execute logics cyclically; the environment also has a simulator to test and \nfine-tune the created programs, before running them with the automation system.\nThe library of functional blocks includes:\n• combinatorial logic blocks (AND, OR, XOR, NOT);\n• scenario and sequence blocks;\n• gates (selectors, bistable T, RS and D elements, latch);\n• comparison operators;\n• mathematical operators;\n• counters;\n• timers and triggers;\n• astronomical clock (calculation of solar altitude and azimuth of a site \ncharacterised by its geographical coordinates).\nTimetable programmes\nDelégo makes it possible to plan the behaviour of all the graphic components visible \non the graphical pages Environments and Functions over time on a weekly basis: the \nserver sends commands at the selected time, even when the building is not in use, \ncompletely automatically. In the desktop display environments and with the App for \nmobile devices, the user can create, edit and delete time programs to have complete \ncontrol of the lighting system: a practical graphic component with coloured bands \nindicates the different intervention times. For each programme, the user can enter \nthe desired status change events at the set time, which correspond to predefined \ncharacteristics of all visible graphic components. In the case of lighting, for example:\n• on\u002Foff lights: switching on and off;\n• dimmed lights: switching on, switching off and adjusting light intensity.\nThe event can be activated on the desired days of the week and periods of absence \nor holidays can be excluded; the time schedule can be temporarily suspended at any \ntime.\nDelégo\nserver\nKNX \u002F DALI\nGateway\nDALI\nDALI subsystem\n[wake-up word]\nLight up the living room\nHome speakers with\nvoice assistants\nEkinex KNX installation\nSMART LIGHTING\n87\n86\n",44,{"image":190,"text":191,"number":192},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fb5\u002Fca13c682899a438f1fe2daca5cbcc1-26fdbbcb77.45.png","FIELDS OF APPLICATION\nResidential buildings \n90\nAccommodation facilities \n94\nCommercial \n98\n",45,{"image":194,"text":195,"number":196},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fb5\u002Fca13c682899a438f1fe2daca5cbcc1-26fdbbcb77.46.png","Residential buildings\nFIELDS OF APPLICATION\nWhen a house is built or renewed, many different aspects need to be taken into \nconsideration, starting with the shell, going through the technical plants up and ending \nwith outdoor and indoor finishings. Often, the decisions about the lighting system are \ntaken at the very end; this can be a mistake, because a poor illumination reflects on \nthe other choices too, thus impacting the overall quality of the work done. Nowadays, \nsmart lighting solutions are at hand and can significantly improve the quality of the \ntime spent in the house itself. Therefore, it’s important from the very beginning to \nconsider the needs and the objectives that must be achieved by the lighting system: \nit’s the light that guarantees the functionality of the environments and creates the \nright home atmosphere.\nDigital and smart\nDigitalization and spreading of networks in houses are also changing the way lighting \nis controlled. Meanwhile, final users are more and more aware of the benefic effects \nof a good illumination. Light is not just about seeing; the smart control puts people at \nthe center of attention and aims at offering unprecedented levels of comfort and well-\nbeing. The control experience is enormously wide now: the starting point is always a \nmanual wall command that today can also control intensity, tonality and color. Touch \nscreens offer even more possibilities: thanks to the fact that building automations \nsystems support wi-fi, it is possible not only to use mobile devices, but also integrate \nvoice control through home speakers with vocal assistant, which are nowadays very \ncommon in a lot of houses. \nDynamic, personal, multishaped\nWith all the possibilities offered by Smart Lighting, it would be reductive to only \nswitch lights on and off. For who spends a lot of time at home, dynamic control – \nallowed today by smart devices – can positively affect bio-rhythms, help stabilize the \nsleep\u002Fwake cycle, create energy and increase good mood: this allows to be more active \nduring the day, improving at the same time the quality of night sleep.\nSmart lighting is also paramount to give a personal touch to the house. In fact, every \nfinal user has their own needs. This means that both indoor and outdoor environments \nrequire a thorough analysis considering not only the destination of use but also the \nresidents’ desires.\nIn this case, smart also means versatile. Home environments need a basic component \nthat basically sheds a uniform light, often coming from an indirect source, to easily \norientate, and a direct component to highlight a specific area. Illuminating well defined \nzones is very useful to perform various activities under the correct light: for example \nreading, working, watching television, talking or eating. Today, we can also go beyond \nthat: smart lighting generates well-being and serenity, welcomes, reassures and can \ndonate to the house an extraordinary atmosphere.\n91\n90\n",46,{"image":198,"text":199,"number":200},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fb5\u002Fca13c682899a438f1fe2daca5cbcc1-26fdbbcb77.47.png","Lighting control and monitoring can be carried out by the Delégo supervision; the \nserver EK-DEL-SRV (A) can be connected via IP to one or more Delégo touch panels \n(B) or via wi-fi to mobile devices such as smartphones (3) or tablets with the app \ninstalled. Delégo also allows to integrate voice commands through home speakers \nwith vocal assistant (4). Traditional manual commands can also be used in parallel, \nlike for example a 20venti series pushbutton (D); thanks to the proximity sensor, it is \npossible to detect the passage of people near the device, activating backlight or other \nbus functions. \nIn order to perform a real presence detection, the sensor EK-DF2-TP (C) is used. \nMonochromatic and RGB leds strips can be controlled with the dimmer EK-GC1-\nTP (E), undimmable lighting devices with actuator EK-FE1-TP (F). Moreover, the \ngateway EK-BG1-TP (G) allows to control DALI dimmers (H, I) and other various \ndevices equipped with DALI digital reactors (7).

Each facility has unique needs related to the kind of \naccommodation provided: for tourists, work or study; for shorter or longer periods; for \nlocal or international customers; for seasonality. Some of these structures are made \nby a single building, others by a group of buildings, some of them with different uses. \nBesides the zones for individual use, like rooms, there are environments open to the \npublic like halls, bars, restaurants or conference halls. More and more structures are \nnowadays equipped with swimming pools, spas, fitness areas and wellness centers. \nIt is not to be forgotten that these facilities are also working environments and \ncomprehend offices, technical rooms and zones reserved for the staff.\nLighting and accommodation facilities\nLighting plays a very important role in accommodation facilities. Whether it is about \na work trip, a meeting, a family vacation or other occasions, staying in a hotel should \nbe a special experience and light is paramount in order to spend some pleasant time \nin an indoor environment.\nOutdoor illumination plays an important role too: especially during evenings and \nnights, the hotel should be spotted even from a great distance, since guests usually \nlive somewhere else and are not familiar with the premises. When approaching the \nhotel, the guest then needs to be safely guided to the entrance, which must be easily \nrecognized. In case of history significant buildings, outdoor illumination allows to \nfocus on the most relevant details of the building, thus creating an exclusive and \nimmersive atmosphere; in some cases, a proper use of colored lights can create a very \nunique scenic effect.\nThe role of control\nIn all lighting situations, it is the design that determines the fundamental choices, \nsuch as shapes and dimensions of the devices, light sources, color temperatures, \ndistribution between direct and indirect components and between basic and spot \nlightings. Without and performant and flexible control system, however, the result \nmight not be as good as expected. Ekinex versatility, together with the growing \npossibilities of led sources, allows to manage illumination in a truly smart way and \nto realize tailor-made solutions in order to answer to all the complex and diverse \nneeds of an accommodation facility, which by definition includes a wide range of \nenvironments different in size and destination of use. Automatic control, scene \nrecalling, exploiting of natural light, dynamic lighting: a system such as Ekinex’s \nallows to always have the right illumination at the right time and place, and with the \nproper intensity. The control of the lighting devices can be carried out directly, by \nmeans of Ekinex commands, sensors, outputs and dimming actuators, or indirectly by \ninterfacing with a DALI system via the proper gateway.\nCasaFantini\nA kitchen, a living room and a bunch of rooms. CasaFantini is not just a hotel, \nit is a place where you can find your personal space and enjoy some time off to \ndiscover yourself again. This is the intuition of Piero Lissoni, known architect \nfrom Milano, which has given form to Daniela Fantini’s idea and her strong \nconnection with her native land, on the border between sky and water. Living in a \nplace filled with history walking towards the future, refurbishing an old building \nmade of rocks and wood by adding a new structure where the glass elements do \nnot hide but highlight the architectural context, an example of complete fusion \nbetween history and state-of-the-art technology.

It is not \nto be neglected that the reception area is by all means a workstation; therefore, all \nhorizontal surfaces need to be properly illuminated in order to avoid visual fatigue. A \nspecial attention must also go to the vertical surfaces, which must be made visible \nto highlight the presence of messages or useful information. The potential dimmer \ncontrol in these areas allows to exploit the availability of natural light and to properly \ndim the light during nighttime.\nRestaurant and bar\nIn the zones open to the public the keywords are hospitality and pleasantness.

It is the case of the illumination: a control based on the most recent \ndigital technologies is able to offer a performance unthinkable in the past, and takes \ninto account not only the visual, but also the emotional and the biological point of view.\nIn many cases, lighting can express a new company culture, focusing on people and \ntheir needs, thus creating the best work conditions. It is not hard to understand the \nreasons: employees and their know-how represent the most important asset for a \ncompany and, at the same time, the most relevant cost. Those who invest in the health \nand well-being of their own employees will see the advantages in a surprisingly short \ntime. In fact, a good illumination makes it easier to focus and reduces fatigue, thus \nincreasing well-being and productivity. But it is not limited to that: it also respects \nthe people’s biological rhythm, it regulates according to the personal needs, inspires \nindividual creativity: in short, it contributes to a high-quality environment. \nIllumination as a design tool\nIn a world where most people in the developed countries are employed in activities \nbased on information and knowledge, the office becomes a meeting point, a place to \nexchange information and ideas, of communication and creativity. A place evolving \nthrough time to keep track of the constant organizational changes. An optimal design \nof the workplace plays a key role, combining technical, economical and social aspects: \nillumination is at the center of this process. Light becomes the tool par excellence \nin designing environments, like furniture or acoustics: it should come as a surprise, \nbecause first of all light creates atmosphere. \nMore possibilities\nTraditional lighting systems are characterized by a complete immobility and are not \nable to fulfill the requirements of commercial buildings: devices constantly switched \non in unoccupied environments, lights fully on of off without intermediate situations, \nalways the same color temperature of the light sources until their replacement, ne-\ncessity to modify the wiring in case of space reconfiguration are only a few examples \nof that. Only flexible and smart systems can embrace the changes of both work or-\nganization and architectonic spaces, adapting through time with the dynamicity that \ntraditional system cannot offer. Light designers can then exploit natural light, adap-\nting in a creative way different tones of light and color, devising lighting scenes and so \nmuch more, while owners and managers can take advantage of a more efficient use of \nenergy and offer the best possible conditions to the occupants.\nLuce di qualità\nPer una luce autenticamente di qualità, il controllo deve considerare tre \ndimensioni:\n• la qualità visiva: una buona luce è il prerequisito per una visione senza \nproblemi e il riconoscimento dei compiti visivi, compresi quelli lavorativi;\n• la qualità emotiva: le componenti di luce naturale e artifi ciale fanno parte \nintegrante dell’architettura e dell’ambiente di lavoro, creando atmosfera e \nbenessere;\n• la qualità biologica: la luce regola il bioritmo delle persone, sincronizza \nle fasi di veglia e di sonno e ha una grande infl uenza sulla salute e sulle \nprestazioni lavorative.\n99\n98\n",50,{"image":214,"text":215,"number":216},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fb5\u002Fca13c682899a438f1fe2daca5cbcc1-26fdbbcb77.51.png","M\n10\nmeeting\n1B\n2B\n3B\n4B\n1A\n2A\n3A\n4A\nEK-FE1-TP\n8xD.O. 16(10)A\u002F230Vac ~ 50\u002F60 Hz\n4xBlind 16(10)A\u002F230Vac ~ 50\u002F60 Hz\n3\n4\n1A\n5\n6\n2A\n7\n8\n3A\n9\n10\n4A\n11\n12\n1B\n13\n14\n2B\n15\n16\n3B\n17\n18\n4B\n1\n2\nL\nN\nbus KNX\nDev.\nLine\nArea\nM\nD\n10\n7\n6\nB\nIP\nIP\nMeeting room\nA\nR\nDelégo server\nEK-DEL-SRV\n1\n5\n2\nIP\n3\n9\nC1\u002FR\nbus KNX\nDev.\nLine\nArea\n+\n+\n12..30 VDC\n-\nC2\u002FG\nC3\u002FB\nC4\u002FW\n-\n-\n-\n-\n-\n230V~\u002F6A max\n12..30 VDC\n4\nC\nE\nM\n10\n8\nF\n3\n4\n5\n6\n1\n2\nL\nN\nbus KNX\nDev.\nLine\nArea\nPWR\nCOM\n-DALI+\n-DALI+\n4\n11\nEkinex devices\nA) Delégo server EK-DEL-SRV-...\nB) Touch panel Delégo (5” o 8”)\nC) LED dimmer RGBW EK-GC1-TP\nD) Ekinex pushbutton (Serie 71)\nE) Binary output \u002F shutter actuator EK-FE1-TP\nF) Gateway KNX-DALI EK-BG1-TP\nOther components\n1) Switch\n2) Access point LAN Wi-Fi\n3) Tablet with Delégo supervision\n4) Dimmable LED devices\n5) Undimmable devices\n6) Projector screen\n7) Shades, shutters, curtains\n8) Motorized window\n9) Projector\n10) Motorized actuator\n11) DALI reactor\nApplication example: the meeting room\nMeeting rooms are important parts of all offices and company headquarters; a \nsingle environment but many possibilities of use such as meetings, presentations, \nworkshops, conferences or trainings. In meeting rooms, besides illumination there are \nother functions such as climate and shade control, as well as multimedia technologies; \nin these cases, flexibility and interoperability of the automation system become key \nfactors. Coordinated control of multiple functions must be simple and immediately \nunderstandable also to people without technical knowledge, without relying on any \nstaff intervention. In these environments, lighting control is particularly important \nto create an ideal atmosphere for each different situation of use; it must always be \ncomfortable, but also customized based on the current activity. In fact, according to \nthe different moments, it becomes necessary to make the attendees focus or relax, or \ndirect the attention on the speaker or the screen. \nLighting control and monitoring can be carried out by the Delégo supervision; the \nserver EK-DEL-SRV (A) can be connected to a Delégo touch panel (B) installed near \nthe speaker’s pulpit and a mobile device such as a tablet (3). Traditional manual \ncommands can also be used in parallel, like for example a pushbutton (D) to control \nshades in proximity of doors and windows.\nUndimmable lighting devices with actuator EK-FE1-TP (5) or devices equipped with \ndimmable LED sources (4) can be controlled through the RGBW LED dimmer EK-GC1-\nTP (C). Moreover, the gateway EK-BG1-TP (G) allows to control DALI dimmers (H, \nI) and other various devices equipped with DALI digital reactors (11). Combination \nof commands and controls can be easily grouped in scenes and recalled with a \nsingle touch from the Delégo supervision: this allows, for example, to coordinate the \ncommand of the lights (4,5), the projector (9), the screen (6) and the shades (7) in \norder for the natural light to be allowed in or shielded during the presentation.\nMurr Elektronik\nIn the Italian headquarter of Murr Elektronik, German multinational \ncompany leader in connection and system engineering sectors, the lighting \ncontrol with devices equipped with LED sources has been realized with the \nEkinex system, both directly with KNX devices and through an interface \nto the DALI subsystem.

In this picture, it is to be considered that illumination is responsible \nfor about 15% of the total consumption of energy on a world scale (IEA), therefore its \ncontribution is not neglectable.\nThe efficiency of a lighting system relies on many factors. Lately, a lot of progress has \nbeen made in optimizing the devices’ optics, as well in the control electronics and in the \ntransition towards high efficiency lighting sources. This has set the stage, nowadays, to \nhave performant and efficient lighting devices. But if these devices are not controlled by \na proper control system, the potential of energy saving is not fully exploited and the risk \nof spoiling part of the investment to have a truly efficient lighting system is very high. \nEnergy effi  ciency of sources and devices\nThe efficiency of a light source is the ratio between the emitted light stream and the \npower dissipated by the source; it is measured in lumen per Watt (lm\u002FW). Usually, it is \nspecified whether this value also includes the dissipated power of the associated circuit: \nfor example, the power supply or, generally speaking, all the components needed for the \nelectric operation. The table below reports the efficiency values for the most common \nlight sources, where some of them are present just as a useful reference to understand \nthe progress that has been made in recent years, since they are no longer on the European \nmarket. \nThe efficiency of the lighting devices is the ratio between the light stream emitted by \nthe device and the total absorbed power; it does not only take into account the power \nabsorbed by the light source(s), but also the power absorbed by the associated circuits; it \nis measured in lumen per Watt (lm\u002FW) as well.\nEnergy effi  ciency of the plant\nWhen the entire lighting plant is considered, there are other relevant elements to consider, \nbecause the control system becomes part of the equation. In this case, the intelligence \nintegrated into all Ekinex devices can become a key factor to meet the overall energy \nefficiency goal. Like for other building functions, manual commands (a) are paramount \nbecause they allow single devices or groups to be switched on and off with a simple \ngesture and also display the status of unseen appliances, thanks to integrated LEDs, but \nthey alone are not able to ensure a high energy efficiency. In some kinds of buildings and \nplants, adding a timer (b) can save some energy, thanks to the definition of operation time \nslots. With an automatic command depending on the presence or motion of people inside \nthe detection field of related sensors (c), the energy saving increases. If this command \nis paired with the exploitation of natural light in order to reduce the artificial light, the \namount of energy saved can increase sensibly, thank to the detection of available daylight \n(d).\nIllumination energy performance\nThe UNI EN 15193-1 standard presents a way to evaluate the energy performance of \nthe general lighting system in residential and non-residential buildings; it applies to \nnewly constructed, existing or renewed buildings. Compared to its first 2008 edition, \nthe revision published in 2017 also includes residential buildings. To evaluate the \nperformance, the standard foresees three options: \n100%\n50%\n0%\n70%\n65%\n80%\n85%\n������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������\n����������������������������������������\n��������������������������������������������������������������\n����������������������������������������������������������������������������������\n�����������������������������������������������������\n������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������\nEnergy efficiency\nSOURCES, DEVICES, PLANTS\n• the “complete” method, when the lighting system was designed. This is an accurate \ncalculation, being based on the design itself;\n• the “rapid calculation” method, when the design has not been performed yet. It \nprovides a rough estimate aimed at the preliminary design calculations, also using \npredetermined values written in the standard’s appendix;\n• the “direct measurement” method, which is based on the measured data of energy \nconsumption and is also useful to verify the values obtained from calculations; it can \nbe used only once the building has been commissioned and occupied. This method can \nalso be linked to the building management system (BMS).\nThe importance and the actuality of the standard is due to the fact that it has been added \nto the EPB series of standards (Energy Performance Building), developed to harmonize at \na European level the method used to evaluate the energy efficiency of a building, in order \nto achieve coherence, uniqueness and transparency. \nThe LENI calculation considers the efficiency improvement offered by an advanced control \nsystem with three corrective coefficients in the formula:\n• the constant illumination dependency factor FC;\n• the occupation dependency factor FO;\n• the daylight dependency factor FD.\nThe importance of advanced control\nBesides the increase in efficiency brought by a control based on presence and\u002For daylight, \nthe possibility of regulation gives another important advantage. The lighting system is \nindeed properly oversized (“Maintenance Factor”) in order to account for the natural decay \nover time of sources and other factors reducing light efficiency, such as dust settling on \nthe light surfaces or the reduced reflecting capacity of walls. Having an advanced control \nsystem allows to compensate during the plant lifecycle in order to guarantee the minimum \nlevel of illumination defined in the project. Thanks to the possibility of adjusting the \nemitted light intensity, oversizing the system does not cause neither more consumptions \nnor illumination levels far superior to those foreseen in the project.  \nStandard references\nUNI EN 15193-1 Building energy performance – Energy requirements for lighting – Part \n1: Specifications, Module M9\nCEN\u002FTR 15193-2 Building energy performance – Energy requirements for lighting – Part \n2: Explanation and justification of standard UNI EN 15193-1, module M9\nLighting energy\nrequirements\nMethod 1\ncalculated\nMethod 2\ncalculated\nMethod 3\nmeasured\nExisting\nbuildings\nComplete\naccurate data\nEnergy\nfor lighting\nEnergy\nfor lighting\nEnergy\nfor lighting\nLENI preliminary\nannual\nNew and renovated\nbuildings\nNew and renovated\nbuildings\nSeparate meters\nfor the lighting\nsystem\nLighting\ninstallation\naudits\nComplete\nlighting\ndesign\nLENI\nFast method\n��������������\nLENI\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nThe three methods for evaluating the energy required for lighting (UNI EN 15193-1)\nEfficiency of light sources (examples)\n[lm\u002FW]\nFilament lamp*\n10 ... 15\nHalogen lamp*\n15 ... 25\nCompact fluorescent lamp\n60 ... 100\nHigh pressure mercury vapor lamp\n40 ... 55\nHigh pressure sodium vapor lamp\n100 ... 150\nMetal halide lamp\n60 ... 100\nLow pressure sodium vapor LED lamp\n150 ... 200\nLED\n60 ... 140 ... > 200\n*) Sources no longer on the European market\n100%\n80%\n60%\n40%\n20%\n0%\n100%\n80%\n60%\n40%\n20%\n0%\n100%\n80%\n60%\n40%\n20%\n0%\n100%\n80%\n60%\n40%\n20%\n0%\n0\n0\n:8\n1\n0\n0\n:2\n1\n0\n0\n:6\n0\n0\n:8\n1\n0\n0\n:2\n1\n0\n0\n:6\n0\n0\n:8\n1\n0\n0\n:2\n1\n0\n0\n:6\n0\n0\n:8\n1\n0\n0\n:2\n1\n0\n0\n:6\nManual control\nTime zone control\nPresence detection\nPresence detection\nand daylight control\nE K -T M1 -TP\nDig ital time \u002F A strono mical swi tch\nDaylight availability\nOra\nOra\nOra\nOra\nPushbutton\nTimer\nPresence sensor\nPresence sensor\nwith light detection\na\nb\nc\nd\nReduction in energy consumption for lighting depending on the type of control adopted\nLENI indicator\nIn order to evaluate the energy performance of a building’s lighting system, the \nUNI EN 15193-1 standard defi nes the LENI (Lighting Energy Numeric Indicator). \nLENI is calculated correlating the total annual energy (W) needed to light the \nwhole building with the total fl oor area (A) of the building itself.

Effi  ciency classes refer to the fundamental \nconcepts of BAC and TBM:\nBAC (Building Automation Control): is a set of products, software and technical \nservices aimed at performing automatic adjustment, monitoring and optimization, \nhuman intervention and management, in order to allow all plants to achieve a high level \nof energy effi  ciency which is both safe and economic;\nTBM (Technical Building Management): is a process or a set of processes and \nservices related to building management, operation and technical services, through the \ninter-relations between diff erent disciplines and activities.\nThe defi nition of the four energy effi  ciency classes include:\nClass A: corresponds to high performance BACs and TBM functions\nClass B: corresponds to advanced BACs and some TBM specifi c functions\nClass C: corresponds to standard BACs\nClass D: corresponds to non-effi  cient BACs. Class D buildings should be retrofi tted. \nNew buildings should not be built using these systems.\nBac effi  ciency factors\nThe BAC effi  ciency factor method (fBAC) was added to the standard in order to quickly and \neasily estimate how much automation, regulation and management functions can aff ect \nthe energy performance of a building. Because of this, this method is especially useful \nin the fi rst stages of the building design, when a lot of detailed information are not yet \navailable. To this end, the standard provides a table with the BAC effi  ciency factors, even \nseparately for thermal (fBAC, th) and electrical (fBAC, el). consumptions. These are indexes \nbased on a large number of simulations, obtained by comparing the annual consumptions \nof a reference environment for diff erent levels of automation.\nGenerally speaking, in a building electrical energy is divided in uses related to lighting \n(L) and electrical auxiliaries (aux). Factors may vary depending on the building topology \n(residential or commercial) and destination of use (offi  ces, schools, etc.). Factors for the \nreference effi  ciency class (C) are conventionally set to 1; moving towards higher energy \neffi  ciency classes (B and A) always leads to lower fBAC factor values and, consequently, \nto a better energy performance. \nIn case of offi  ce environments, for example, moving from Class C to Class A corresponds \nto a 28% of energy saved, while for a residential building the same change in class \nmeans a 8% of energy saved.\nNormative and legislative references\nUNI EN 15232-1:2017 Energy performance of buildings - Part 1: Impact of automation, \ncontrol and technical management of buildings\nCEI 205-18:2017 Guide for the use of EN 15232 - Classifi cation of automation systems \nof technical installations in buildings, identifi cation of functional diagrams, estimation \nof the contributions of these systems to the reduction of energy consumption\nInterministerial Decree of 26 June 2015 - Adaptation of national guidelines for the \nenergy certifi cation of buildings.\nA\nB\nC\nD\nEnergy efficiency\nBUILDING \nBuilding\nBAC efficiency factors for lighting (fBAC, el, L)\nD\nC\n(reference)\nB\nA\nNot efficient\nStandard\nAdvanced\nHigh energy \nefficiency\nNon-\nresidential\nOffices\n1,1\n1\n0,85\n0,72\nReading rooms\n1,1\n0,88\n0,76\nSchools\n1,1\n0,88\n0,76\nHospitals\n1,2\n1\n1\nHotels\n1,1\n0,88\n0,76\nRestaurants\n1,1\n1\n1\nCommercial\n1,1\n1\n1\nResidential\nSingle houses\n1,08\n0,93\n0,92\nApartments\nOther types\nMinimum effi  ciency class\nThe June 25th 2015 inter-ministerial decree (“Minimum requirements”) requires, \nfor non-residential buildings, a minimum automation level corresponding to \nenergy effi  ciency Class B, in compliance with standard UNI EN 15232 for control, \nregulation and management of building technologies and thermal plants (BACS). \nIn order to match Class B, at least the automation functions regarding lighting \nhave to be implemented (see Table B in the following page); moreover, all devices \nmust be able to communicate with building control system.\nENERGY EFFICIENCY CLASSES\nResidential\nNon-residential\nD\nC\nB\nA\nD\nC\nB\nA\n5\nLIGHTING CONTROL\n5.1\nPresence control (M9.5)\n0\nManual ON\u002FOFF switch\n1\nManual ON\u002FOFF switch + automatic gradual extinction\n2\nAutomatic detection (automatic switch ON)\n3\nAutomatic detection (manual switch ON)\n5.2\nDaylight control\n0\nManual (centralized)\n1\nManual (for each environment\u002Fzone)\n2\nAutomatic switching\n3\nAutomatic dimming\n6\nSUN SHADE CONTROL\n6.1\nSun shade control (M2.5\u002FM2.8\u002FM9-5)\n0\nCompletely manual\n1\nMotorized with manual actuator\n2\nMotorized with automatic actuator\n3\nCombined light\u002Fshutter\u002FHVAC control\nSource: UNI EN 15232-1 Building energy performance – Part 1: eff ects of building automation, control and technical management – Modules M10-4,5,6,7,8,9,10Extract regarding BAC functions for lighting control \n(point 5) and sun shade control (point 6).\nSMART LIGHTING\nSMART LIGHTING\n106\n107\n",54,{"image":230,"text":231,"number":232},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fb5\u002Fca13c682899a438f1fe2daca5cbcc1-26fdbbcb77.55.png","In recent years, the interest in building control and automation systems has increased \nconsiderably: now they are considered by guidelines and standards as a fundamental \nelement to achieve the ambitious energy effi  ciency objectives of the European Union, \nwhile maintaining a high level of comfort in all situations. \nEPBD Directive\nThe energy efficiency and performance of buildings has been the focus of attention of \nplanners, builders and end customers since the EPBD was published in 2002. When \nEU countries implemented the first version of the directive, numerical indicators \nwere defined that allowed buildings to be classified according to their energy \nperformance: in the energy performance certificate (APE) in use in Italy, for example, \nit is necessary to indicate the energy requirement in kilowatt-hours per square metre \nand year. In 2010 there was a first revision of the Directive and eight years later a \nsecond one was published. The revision published in 2018 introduces for the first \ntime an ‘intelligence of the building’ indicator, which is an important factor in the \ndeployment of smart technologies in buildings; for the world of home and building \nautomation, this latest version is therefore particularly significant, as one of the \nobjectives is to actively promote the widespread use of these systems. \nIntelligent readiness indicator\nThe indicator introduced by the Directive is very important to provide the most \nconcise information to all stakeholders: planners, investors, end-users, managers and \nservice providers. The indicator makes it possible to assess the ability of buildings \n(or individual building units) to adapt their operation to the needs of their occupants - \noptimising energy effi  ciency and overall performance - and to adapt their operation \nin response to signals from the grid in a way that maximises energy fl exibility. \nThe directive emphasises that ‘the building intelligence readiness indicator should \nraise awareness among owners and occupants of the value of building automation and \nelectronic monitoring of technical building systems, and should reassure occupants of the \nreal savings of these new improved functionalities. The use of the system to assess the \nintelligence readiness of buildings should be optional for Member States.”\nWhat does ‘intelligent readiness’ mean?\nThe three key-functions of ‘intelligent readiness’ of a building can be summarised as \nfollows:\n• ability to ensure the energy effi  ciency and operation of the building by adjusting its \nenergy consumption (e.g. through the use of energy from renewable sources);\n• ability to adapt operation to the needs of end-users, paying attention to ease of use, \nmaintenance of comfortable climatic conditions and the ability to adequately inform \nabout energy consumption;\n• fl exibility of overall electricity demand, including the ability to participate actively \nand passively in demand and to take account of grid conditions (in demand-response \nmode), e.g. through fl exibility and load-shifting capabilities.\nFor end-users, owners and investors, the SRI indicator provides information on the services \nthat the building provides; having reliable information on the intelligence of the building \n(and its potential improvements) can positively guide their investment decisions. For end \nusers in particular, the transition to smarter buildings brings multiple benefi ts, including \nhigher energy effi  ciency and better health, well-being and comfort. Facility managers are \nalso aff ected by the indicator, as they will be called upon to manage smart systems and \ncan infl uence investment decisions. There are also positive impacts for various service \nproviders, including grid operators, manufacturers of technical building systems, design \nand engineering companies and many others. The indicator allows them to position their \nservice off erings, providing a neutral and common framework in which the capacity of \ntheir intelligent services can be directly compared to that of their competitors, including \nthe non-smart technology-based services of more traditional operators.\nIndicator defi nition\nIn its usual guiding function, the EU directive describes the priority objectives, but does not \ngo into detail, which has to take into account a number of technical factors and requires \nspecifi c expertise. To this end, the European Commission commissioned a study by a \nconsortium including VITO, Waide Strategic Effi  ciency, Ecofys and OFFIS. The methodology \ndeveloped is based on the assessment of the “intelligent services” that are present in a \nbuilding. These services are realised through one or more intelligent technologies and are \ndefi ned in a neutral way, e.g. as the “ability to control the power emitted by artifi cial lighting”.\nBuilding intelligence indicator (SRI)\nLIGHTING IN SMART BUILDINGS\nSectors\nNine domains (“domains”) have been defi ned, such as heating, lighting or electric vehicle \ncharging, to which an additional sector (“miscellaneous”) can be added, which may include \nservices that are not currently within the scope or are not mature enough to be included. \nThe sector includes a catalogue of services (54 for the expert approach, 27 for the \nsimplifi ed approach); 2 to 5 levels of functionality are defi ned for each service. A higher \nlevel of functionality refl ects a more intelligent use of the service, which generally \ntranslates into an advantage for building users or the electricity grid compared to a lower \nlevel of functionality. The level of functionality implemented has a diff erent impact on a \nnumber of factors: e.g. energy savings, improved comfort or fl exibility towards the grid. \nImpact criteria\nSeven distinct impact categories were considered in the study. In the fi nal SRI indicator, \nthe impact criteria may evolve further - for example towards a simpler set - to facilitate \ntheir use and use for reporting purposes. Addressing this multiplicity of sectors and \nimpacts, an assessment method involving the assignment of weightings (weights) was \nproposed for the calculation of the indicator to refl ect the contribution of the various \nsectors and impacts in determining an overall aggregate score. \nThe result of the evaluation can be presented in various ways*:\n• as an overall score (e.g. a dimensionless number);\n• as a relative score in percentage terms (e.g. indicating that a building reaches 65% of \nits intelligence potential); \n• as a classifi cation (e.g. a ‘B’ class label). \n*) Source: 2017\u002FSEB\u002FR\u002F1610684, study carried out under the authority of the European Commission (DG Energy).\nThe role of lighting in sri indicator\nWhen talkin The SRI indicator objective g about lighting functions, one can go from the \nsimple execution of a “manual on\u002Foff  switch” to more eff ective controls such as “automatic \non\u002Foff  switch based on daylight presence” or even “automatic dimming based on daylight \npresence”. For example, in the table below you can fi nd the impact points for each service:\n• Lighting-1: presence-based control for indoor lighting;\n• Lighting-2: artifi cial lighting power control based on daylight presence.\nReferences\nMay 30th 2018 UE directive 2018\u002F844 of the European Parliament and Cabinet modifying \ndirective 2010\u002F31\u002FUE about building energy performance and directive 2012\u002F27\u002FUE on \nenergy effi  ciency\nFinal report on the technical support to the development of a smart readiness indicator for \nbuildings, June 2020, European Commission. \nheating\ncooling\ndomestic\nhot water\ncontrolled \nventilation\nlighting\ndynamic\nenclosure\nelectricity\nrecharging electric \nvehicles\nmonitoring\nand control\nCode\nService\nService group: Artificial lighting power control based on daylight presence\nLighting-2\nArtificial lighting power control based on daylight presence\nFunctionality level\nImpacts\nEnergy saving \non the spot\nElectrical \nnetwork \nflexibility and \nstorage\nComfort\nConvenience\nWell-being \nand health\nMaintenance \nand fault \nprediction\nInformation \nto residents\nLevel 0\nManual (centralized)\n0\n0\n0\n0\n0\n0\n0\nLevel 1\nManual (for each environment\u002Fzone)\n1\n0\n1\n1\n0\n0\n0\nLevel 2\nAutomatic switching\n2\n0\n1\n1\n1\n0\n0\nLevel 3\nAutomatic dimming\n3\n0\n2\n2\n2\n0\n0\nLevel 4\nAutomatic dimming, including scenario-based light control (dynamic and adaptive \nlighting scenarios are set during time intervals, e.g. in terms of illuminance level, \ncorrelated colour temperature and the possibility to change the light distribution \nwithin the space according to e.g. design, human needs, visual tasks)\n3\n0\n3\n3\n3\n0\n0\nSource: “Support for setting up a Smart Readiness Indicator for buildings and related impact assessment” study, attachment D, add.

Credits in this category reward projects that \nrecognise that a building cannot exist in isolation from the context in which it is \nconstructed and that the environmental integrity of this context must be preserved. \nThe aim of the credit is to increase visual access to the vault of heaven, improving \nvisibility at night and reducing the negative impacts of urban development on animals \nand people. In order to limit the light pollution produced by the building and obtain \nthe LEED credit, the Ekinex control and automation system can intervene on the \nlighting and shading functions in different ways:\n• by controlling individual or grouped luminaires installed inside or outside the \nbuilding according to the presence or movement of people;\n• controlling internal and\u002For external shading devices (such as curtains, blinds \nor Venetian blinds) to limit light emission to the outside where it is essential to \nswitch on the lighting in the evenings and at night;\n• controlling electrochromic glass;\n• grouping luminaires in appropriate scenarios;\n• scheduling lighting ON\u002FOFF with timers or astronomical clocks.\nSustainability and building automation with knx\nIn order to earn a sustainability certification, a very important role is played by the \nbuilding automation control systems. The study “KNX for LEED”, developed by Jesús \nArias García and Miguel Ángel Jiménez Ibiricu and published in 2013, shows that \nusing a KNX-based system like Ekinex can contribute to earn up to 54 credits out \nof 110, which is the maximum amount foreseen by the LEED certification pattern. \nThe 80% of the credits contributed by KNX relates to three categories: energy and \natmosphere, indoor environmental quality and hydraulic efficiency.\nThe “sustainability” concept, very common nowadays in most sectors, was defined for \nthe first time in the paper “Our common future” (a.k.a. Brundtland report) published \nin 1987 by the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED). \n“Sustainable development” stands for a process capable of “fulfilling the needs of the \ncurrent population without preventing future generation from fulfilling their own”. In \nthis regard, sustainability must guarantee compatibility between development and \nenvironmental protection. \nObjective: sustainable development\nThe “Sustainable Development Goals” (SDG) are a collection of seventeen global \nobjectives set by United Nations (UN) in September 2015 to end poverty, protect \nthe planet and assure prosperity for all by 2030. Buildings are great resource \nconsumers, so they also need to be subject to the sustainability principles: according \nto the analysis of the World Green Building Council, green buildings significantly \ncontribute to nine out of seventeen sustainability goals.\nSustainability certifi cations\nTo be able to state that a building is sustainable, being constructed according to \nthe “green building” principles, acquires a true meaning only once that a third-party \naccredited institution can certificate that the building is compliant with a series of \nsustainability criteria. For this reason, over the years a number of certification patterns \napplied on a voluntary basis have been developed, such as LEED, BREEAM, DGNB \nSystem or Green Star. A building design subject to sustainability certification can \nearn point in different categories: for example, location and transport, site, hydraulic \nefficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental \nquality, innovation and many others. Based on the number of credits earned, the \ndesign is awarded with one of evaluation levels foreseen by the certification pattern. \nFrom now on, the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification \npattern, developed by USGBC (United States Green Building Council) is taken as \nreference, being the most widespread protocol worldwide.\nSustainability\nLIGHTING AND SUSTAINABILITY CERTIFICATION \nTo achieve this credit, however, no additional devices are required over and above \nthose already provided for a modern lighting and shading control system; the same \nEkinex devices can be used in a multifunctional way to achieve different objectives \nover a twenty-four hour period such as:\n• high visual comfort and maximum energy savings during the day;\n• the limitation of light pollution at night.\nIndoor lighting\nThis credit can be worth 1 or 2 points and is part of the indoor Environmental Quality \n(EQ) category, which deals with design strategies and environmental factors – such \nas air quality, visual and acoustic comfort and control of the surrounding environment \n– positively influencing the way people work and live. The idea behind is to give the \nresidents full control of the lighting function, guaranteeing a high light quality and \nincreasing at the same time comfort, well-being and productivity. \nIn order to do that, at least one of the following options needs to be achieved:\n• Lighting control;\n• Light quality.\nIn lighting control, the plant needs to be prepared so that at least 90% of the \noccupied spaces is equipped with an individual control system allowing residents \nto adjust illumination based on their activity and personal preferences, with at least \nthree lighting levels (or scenes): typically, these levels are off, on and intermediate. \nIntermediate level is a value between 30% and 70% of the maximum level, daylight \nexcluded.\nFor all common areas with multiple residents, other requirements need to be met:\n• To realize a multizone control system allowing residents to adjust lights based on \nthe group’s needs and preferences, with at least three lighting levels (off, on and \nintermediate)\n• To separately control the illumination of walls or screens used for presentations \nor projections\n• To place the lighting manual commands in the same environment of the controlled \nequipments.\nWater\nefficiency\nIndoor\nenvironmental \nquality\nEnergy and \nAtmosphere\nSMART LIGHTING\nSMART LIGHTING\n110\n111\n",56,{"image":238,"text":239,"number":240},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fb5\u002Fca13c682899a438f1fe2daca5cbcc1-26fdbbcb77.57.png","In the field of light quality, in order to gain one point, it is necessary to achieve at \nleast four of a series of nine strategies concerning lighting design, specified by LEED.\nIn the operating phase, these strategies must be supported by the control and \nautomation system. To achieve the goals of full control exercised by occupants and \nhigh-quality light (gaining LEED credits), Ekinex control and automation system \noffers significant benefits:\n• a wide range of solutions for individual command and control: multifunction bus \npushbuttons with status feedback, wall-mounted touch displays, apps to allow \ncontrol from mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones, voice control \nthanks to home assistants\n• environmental sensors (presence sensors, movement sensors and brightness \nsensors), for manual\u002Fautomatic control pairing;\n• multi-channel actuators and dimmers for switching (on\u002Foff) and continuous \ncontrol of light intensity (dimming) emitted by light sources, including the choice \namong different shades (warm light\u002Fcold light) and colors;\n• scenes to coordinate the light with other technical building systems, such as \nHVAC and shading;\n• integration of DALI as a subsystem specifically dedicated to lighting functions by \na dedicated gateway.\nNatural light\nThis credit is worth 1-3 points. As well as interior lighting, it belongs to the category \nIndoor Environmental Quality (EQ). The aim is to put in communication the building \noccupants with the outside, to strengthen the circadian rhythms and to reduce the \nuse of artificial lighting, while allowing natural light penetration and outside view.\n \nDue to the presence of large glazed surfaces, LEED requirements for obtaining the \ncredit require that glare control be provided by manual or automatic devices in all \nregularly occupied spaces, keeping manual adjustments a priority.\nEKINEX control and automation system helps:\n• integrating natural light only where and when actually needed by switching on\u002Foff \nor dimming the lighting fixtures;\n• selectively turning off the light in rooms where human presence is not detected;\n• simulating the natural course of daylight, in terms of intensity and color \ntemperature, in rooms with little or no natural light;\n• controlling shading devices (such as curtains, shutters and venetian blinds), in \norder to avoid glare.\nThe presence of EKINEX sensors, which are able to detect both human presence and \nbrightness, allows to reduce the number of devices to be installed in a room to a \nminimum. The presence detection function can be used by other technical building \nsystems, such as the heating, cooling and ventilation. In addition to what concerns \nlighting control and shading, there is a credit for quality views.

However, nowadays particular attention \nis also paid to health and psychophysical well-being that people experience when they \nare indoors. The guiding principle is that the building represents more than a simple \ncontainer. It is a place where most of life takes place for family reasons, for work, for \nstudy, for leisure, for the supply of goods and services and much more.\nIn this sense, it became clear that indoor living conditions have a significant impact \non health. If environments are designed with environmental well-being in mind, people \nthrive: they are more productive, calm and have a positive attitude. For a few years, \nthe certifications centered on the building plant system have been accompanied by \nschemes aimed at environmental well-being, with characteristics that are no longer \nonly of a strictly technical nature, but also and above all biological and emotional ones.\nWELL protocol\nWELL is currently the main reference for comfort certification referred to buildings, \ninterior spaces and entire communities. It can be considered a real global standard for \nits diffusion in dozens of countries. WELL focuses on the ways in which buildings and \nin general everything contained therein can improve comfort, guide towards better \nchoices and improve people’s health and well-being. Released in 2014, WELL was \ndeveloped by the International WELL Building Institute™ and it integrates scientific \nand medical research and literature on environmental health, behavioral factors, \nhealth outcomes and demographic risk factors.  In its definition, WELL refers to \nexisting standards and to the best practice guidelines established by governmental \nand professional organizations. WELL is designed to be applied in a coordinated way \nwith the main sustainability certification schemes.\nConcepts, features, parts\nWith regard to comfort building certifi cation, every project has to be developed in \nten “concepts”: air, water, light, nourishment, movement, thermal comfort, sound, \nmaterials, mind and community. \nEach concept is comprised of features with distinct health intents and each feature \ncan be composed of one or more “parts”. Features are either preconditions or \noptimizations:\n• preconditions define the fundamental components of a project and they are \nmandatory for certification;\n• optimizations are optional pathways for projects and their achievement allows to \nobtain valid points for the overall score which can reach a maximum of 110 points.\n“Light” concept\nLight is one of the ten WELL concepts: it promotes exposure to light and aims to create \nlighting environments that are optimal not only for visual but also for mental and \nbiological health. In addition to facilitating vision, light affects the human body in non-\nvisual ways. Humans have internal clocks that synchronize physiological functions on \na roughly 24-hour cycle called the circadian rhythm. In doing this, the body reacts to \na series of external stimuli that align the physiological functions: light is the most \nimportant of these stimuli, always keeping the body’s internal clock synchronized.\nCircadian lighting\nRecognizing that the circadian rhythm is of extreme importance for the human being, \nWELL defi nes its synchronization in features 54 and P3. \n54 Feature: Circadian lighting design\nThis WELL feature is divided into four parts and focuses on health aspects, setting a \nminimum threshold for the intensity of light. Part 1 concerns the light intensity for \nwork areas and at least one of the following requirements must be met:\n• at least 200 equivalent melanopic lux (EML)* is present at 75% or more of \nworkstations. This level of light can include daylight and is present at least \nbetween 9 am and 1 pm every day of the year;\n• for all workstations, artificial lighting provides a constant illuminance of at least \n150 EML*.\nComfort\nLIGHTING AND ENVIRONMENTAL WELL-BEING CERTIFICATION \nPart 2 concerns light intensity in living environments and it requires that in all \nbedrooms, bathrooms, and rooms with windows, one or more fi xtures provide the \nfollowing:\n• during the day, 200 or more EML as measured facing the wall in the center of \nthe room. The lights may be dimmed in the presence of daylight, but are able to \nindependently achieve these levels;\n• evening lights provide not more than 50 EML as measured 0.76 m above the \nfinished floor.\nPart 3 concerns the light intensity in breakrooms, where employees spend their \nbreaks, which must provide a constant average of at least 250 EML*. The lights may \nbe dimmed in the presence of daylight, but are able to independently achieve these \nlevels.\nPart 4 concerns light intensity in learning areas, in which: \n• for early education, elementary, middle and high schools and adult education for \nstudents primarily under 25 years of age, at least 125 EML* is present at 75% \nor more of desks. This light level must be present for at least 4 hours per day for \nevery day of the year;\n• ambient lights must provide maintained illuminance* of EML greater than or equal \nto the lux recommendations indicated in Table 3 of IES-ANSI RP-3-13 Standard, \nfollowing the age group category most appropriate for the population serviced by \nthe school. \nP3 Feature: Circadian emulation\nThis WELL feature includes two parts expressly dedicated to residential buildings and \naims to provide light which has intensity and spectrum similar to that of the daily \nchanges of sunlight. In part 1 (circadian lighting) it is required that in all bedrooms, \nbathrooms, and residential rooms with windows, the lighting system:\n• allows users to set a “bed time” and a “wake time”.\n• provides a maintained average of at least 250 EML, if lights are turned on in the \ninterval spanning “wake time” and 2 hours before “bed time”;\n• provides a maintained average of 50 EML or less, if lights are turned on in the \ninterval spanning 2 hours before “bed time” and “wake time”.\nIn part 2 (dawn simulation), it is required that in all bedrooms, the lighting system:\n• allows users to set a “wake time”;\n• gradually increases light from 0 to at least 250 EML over the course of 15 \nminutes or longer.\n*) As measured on the vertical plane facing forward at surfaces 1.2 m [4 ft] above fi nished fl oor.\nLighting and shading coordination\nWELL also requires glare control with the aim of minimizing visual discomfort that can \nbe caused by both daylight and artifi cial light. For shielding from solar radiation, the \nuse of window shading devices is required in rooms that are regularly occupied. The \ncontrol can be done manually by the users or automatically by the building automation \nsystem.The fulfi llment of the requirement depends on the use of smart automation, \nbased on openness and interoperability, which provides for coordination between \nthe lighting and shading functions of the environments. In fact, in the presence of \nsuffi  cient natural light, it is sensible to turn off  or dim the artifi cial lighting for energy \nand environmental considerations.\nWELL Building Standard - Features and Parts of “Light” concept (WELL, Q4 – 2020 version)\nNr.\nFeature\nParts\n53\nVisual lighting design\n1: Visual Acuity for Focus, 2: Brightness Management Strategies; 3: Commercial Kitchen Lighting; 4: Visual Acuity in Living Environments; 5: Visual Acuity for Learning; 6: \nVisual Acuity for Dining\n54\nCircadian lighting design\n1: Melanopic Light Intensity for Work Areas; 2: Melanopic Light Intensity in Living Environments; 3: Melanopic Light Intensity in Breakrooms; 4: Melanopic Light Intensity in \nLearning Areas\n55\nElectric light glare control\n1: Lamp Shielding; 2: Glare Minimization\n56\nSolar glare control\n1: View Window Shading; 2: Daylight Management\n57\nLow-glare workstation design\n1: Glare Avoidance\n58\nColor quality\n1: Color Rendering Index\n59\nSurface design\n1: Working and Learning Area Surface Reflectivity; 2: Bedroom Wall and Ceiling Lightness; 3: Living Space Wall and Ceiling Lightness\n60\nAutomated shading and dimming\n1: Automated Sunlight Control; 2: Responsive Light Control\n61\nRight to light (View out)\n1: Lease Depth; 2: Window Access\n62\nDaylight modeling\n1: Healthy Sunlight Exposure\n63\nDaylight fenestration\n1: Window Sizes for Working and Learning Spaces; 2: Window Transmittance in Working and Learning Areas; 3: Uniform Color Transmittance; 4: Window Sizes for Living \nSpaces\nP2\nLight at night\n1: Window Light Elimination; 2: Electric Light Elimination; 3: Safe Nighttime Navigation Lighting\nP3\nCircadian emulation\n1: Circadian Lighting; 2: Dawn Simulation\nThe EML metric\nWELL adopts an alternative metric to measure the biological effects of \nlight on humans, called “EML” (from Equivalent Melanopic Lux). Unlike the \ntraditional measurement in lux, the EML index takes as its reference the ipRGC \nphotoreceptors, which are the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion \ncells, non-image forming. The reason is in the particular nature of these \nphotoreceptors: through them, in fact, lights of high frequency and intensity \npromote alertness, while the lack of this stimulus signals the body to reduce \nenergy expenditure and prepare for rest. During Performance Verification, \nEML is measured on the vertical plane at eye level of the occupant. \nSMART LIGHTING\nSMART LIGHTING\n114\n115\n",58,{"image":246,"text":247,"number":248},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fb5\u002Fca13c682899a438f1fe2daca5cbcc1-26fdbbcb77.59.png","Planner\nTOOLS\nDescription\nPLANNER is a configuration software made available on its website from Ekinex®.

The most commonly \ncollected information is geometry, technical and mechanical data, electrical data, \nmaterial specifications, financial, energy and environmental assessments. \nWhat are the benefits of bim in home automation and construction?\nThe role of BIM in the construction industry is to support collaboration between the \ndifferent actors involved (designers, builders, architects, clients) and integrate the \ndesign and simulation processes into a single model that can manage all phases of \nthe life cycle of the building.\nThe main benefit of adopting the BIM methodology is the 3D representation during the \ndesign phase, which speeds up processes, reduces delivery times and allows errors \nand inaccuracies to be detected first. The greater efficiency in sharing information \nand a more precise control over all the processes involved, also make it possible to \ncontain costs and schedule in advance maintenance operations.\nThe fields of BIM related to technology allow the management of complex projects \nsuch as home automation and the willingness of the customer to control the building. \nDuring the design phase it is already possible to simulate the integration of the \ndifferent systems and the control of the possible scenarios in a 3D environment, \ngiving all the professionals involved the opportunity to work together without data \nor process conflicts.\nSoftware\nThe BIM library is available in Autodesk Revit® format, by installing our Ekinex BIM \nContent Creator software, a real advanced configurator of the product range that \nwill be enriched with future updates and expansions.\nFor further information:\nekinex.com\u002Fen\u002Fbim\u002Flibrary-wall-mount.html\nSMART LIGHTING\nSMART LIGHTING\n116\n117\n",59,{"image":250,"text":251,"number":252},"\u002Fmedia\u002Fimages\u002Fb5\u002Fca13c682899a438f1fe2daca5cbcc1-26fdbbcb77.60.png","Smart Lighting brochure - March 2021\nThe technical information in this catalogue is for guidance only.
