Sustainable lighting
The requirements for sustainable lighting solutions are
high and go beyond efficiency, long service life, and high
light quality. The demands also concern the materials,
which must be recyclable and free of toxic substances.
Furthermore, high user comfort and easy maintenance
should be considered. Sustainable lighting should save
energy and thus costs. The potential of sustainable
lighting can therefore only be exploited if it forms one unit
with lighting control and modern lighting technology. It is
also important to know that the savings potential extends
beyond lighting. 50 % of a building’s energy consumption is
due to HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning). With
XAL’s environmental sensor technology (measurement of
CO2, temperature, humidity) we can affect this proportion.
This means only ventilate when necessary, or heat less.
When users are absent, the ventilation system switches
to minimum operation and the heating output is reduced.
XAL’s IoT sensors are perfect for monitoring entire build-
ings in an energy-efficient manner.
It is about more
than efficient LEDs
