Smart Lighting Control Solution Achieves 60%+ Energy Savings for Multi-Storey Car Park

Overview

A multi-storey shoppers’ car park in Essex faced the challenge of integrating new LED luminaires supplied by DRK Lighting without the need for extensive wiring or construction work. The client, ESC, aimed to incorporate controls into the lighting scheme to reduce energy consumption without inflating installation costs significantly. Furthermore, safety concerns regarding individual light activation proximity to moving vehicles necessitated a cohesive group activation solution.

Our solution

We proposed a hybrid wireless solution, incorporating:

Centralised Control: Our system centralised control of linear LED luminaire runs through a single control box, ensuring consistent operation throughout the parking facility.

Wireless Communication: Facilitating wireless communication between luminaires, our solution enabled synchronised group responses to changes in lighting requirements, enhancing flexibility.

Integration with Building Management System (BMS): Seamless integration with the BMS facilitated customised lighting controls suited for different operational phases, including active usage periods, maintenance routines, and security protocols.

Cost Management: By minimising hardware requirements, we effectively managed costs without compromising functionality.

Energy Savings: Achieving over 60% energy savings, our solution optimised lighting usage, resulting in substantial cost savings for the client.

Outcomes

Our wireless solution at  has delivered substantial benefits. Providing seamless control over LED luminaires without extensive wiring, it has enhanced safety by ensuring group activation, reducing risks near moving vehicles. Integration with the Building Management System (BMS) enabled dynamic lighting adjustments tailored to operational needs, resulting in significant energy savings and a more sustainable lighting infrastructure.

This not only underscores our commitment to environmental responsibility and community safety but also aligns with ESC principles, demonstrating our dedication to sustainable practices and enhancing the overall value of our solutions.
