Efficiency through automation
Considerable demands are placed on the
energy efficiency of buildings today. The
optimization of power supply, distribution
and usage can reduce costs and reduce
the strain on the climate. For example, in
office buildings around 28 percent of all
the electrical power is used for lighting.
Here and in many other sectors, intelligent
automation systems for buildings offer
considerable potential for savings. Based
on the standard EN 15232, the four effi-
ciency classes from A to D illustrate the
correlation between building automation
and energy efficiency.
Improved energy efficiency
with building control
Comfort for the user
The GAMMA building control is the answer
for efficient building management: Sensi-
ble room automation means maximum
comfort for the user and saves energy at
the same time. Lighting, sun protection
and room climate are optimally coordi-
nated and can be adjusted to meet every
requirement. Despite automation, the user
always has the opportunity to control his
working environment individually.
Planning according to energy efficiency
class
The choice of technology depends primarily
on the required energy efficiency class. For
a cost effective solution in class C, digital
time switches and dusk switches are used
to control heating, ventilation or air con-
ditioning. If efficiency classes A or B are
required, communication-capable systems
such as the GAMMA building control are
used. Their consistent components control
lighting, sun protection and room climate,
for example, and therefore help to save
energy.
