Indoor lighting is controlled according to the amount of daylight and presence of people. Automatic lighting control, including turning lights off in window-side areas with sufficient daylight, or in vacant rooms, is an effective energy-saving measure. Lighting control contributes to energy conservation in two ways: reduction in energy consumption for lighting, and reduction in air-conditioning loads caused by heat from lamps.
Advancements in Electric Machines Power Systems
byJ.F. Gieras
This book discusses the state-of-the art of electric machines, associated components and contemporary trends of their development. Novel electric machines considered in this book have been limited to rotary electric machines. Linear electric machines and linear actuators have not been included
This volume has three main objectives: (1) Firstly, to promote electrical machines as the most popular machines of everyday life and increase awareness in this area; (2) Secondly, to stimulate innovations in electrical machines and electromechanical drives; (3) Thirdly, to help educators revitalize Power Engineering curricula and change research strategy towards what industry and mankind needs
: A Lighting Solution for our planet
HID Laboratories, a provider of intelligent high-intensity lighting solutions, today unveiled the lighting industry's first high-efficiency, high-performance smart lighting and control platform. The company's new SmartPod™ Luminaire enables HID lighting solutions that are up to 60 percent more efficient, deliver superior lumen performance, and eliminate the need for building owners and lighting engineers to replace or rewire existing installations. Unlike traditional HID lighting solutions, the new SmartPod incorporates intelligent lighting controls for further reducing energy use in commercial buildings and lighting engineering applications
