Optimized lighting and the ambience it brings are what people look for in smart buildings. The balance between efficient energy management, productivity and comfort has become what users care most about.
Optimized lighting and the ambience it brings are what people look for in smart buildings. The balance between efficient energy management, productivity and comfort has become what users care most about.
Some of the solutions take natural light into consideration for brightness adjustment, and some optimize energy management through occupancy and movement monitoring. The system then automates the rules, giving users peace of mind.
