lexible ways to save
Designed to reduce costs
ENERGY STAR® reports that lighting alone
accounts for about 35% of a commercial
building’s electricity use, making it one of
the most significant costs for your facility.
That’s why Gamma is designed to enhance
lighting performance and occupant
comfort while reducing energy expenses.
Gamma lets you choose the right applica-
tion to provide the right lighting for any
space or user need. Studies supported
by the U.S. Department of Energy reveal
lighting controls can deliver 20% to 60%
energy savings compared to stand-alone
lighting systems. Through Gamma’s range
of applications, your facility can take
advantage of this level of savings.
Gamma supports energy-saving
applications.
Daylight harvesting – Responding to
the available natural light in a room,
brightness sensors reduce artificial
lighting in a space. This strategy retains
the quality of the visual environment while
reducing your energy costs. Maximizing
your use of sunlight helps you gain
immediate savings, and it helps meet
local and national standards such as
ASHRAE 90.1, LEED® and California
Title 24.
Occupancy control – In order to maximize
energy savings when the space is not
occupied, Gamma occupancy controls
can dim, reduce or increase lighting, as
well as adjust window shading and change
temperature setpoints via your Siemens
building automation system (BAS).
Task tuning – Preset the default light
levels of a particular space based on the
specific tasks associated with that space.
You can control lighting levels of individual
fixtures or areas throughout your facility
and provide just the right amount of light
for the activities in each area. Giving
occupants the ability to adjust the lighting
to fit their own needs allows further
comfort and energy savings.
Scheduling – Automate dimming and/or
switching preferences and space use/occu-
pancy through your Siemens BAS. You can
pre-program lighting activity in various
rooms all from your Siemens workstation.
Blind/Shade control – Control blinds
to meet the illumination and comfort
needs of occupants, either manually
or automatically. The Gamma Weather
Station can calculate the position of the
sun to control the blinds, so the glare of
direct sunlight is never bothersome. When
you can limit the amount of direct sunlight
in a room, you also keep the room from
getting uncomfortably warm. Savings
are realized through lowered dependence
on HVAC.
Ballast-level control – Control lighting
zones and groups as well as individual
lights. This level of granular control
delivers the greatest savings and flexibility
of use. Gamma supports On/Off control,
analog dimming control and Digital
Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI)
control. Through individually addressable
lighting, we flexibly meet your needs
for functionality and comfort, as well
as energy savings.
Whether you use an iPhone,
iPad or Android device, you can
remotely access your Gamma
installations and securely monitor,
control or troubleshoot your
installations from anywhere.
