Lighting Offices tend to use a uniform lighting level throughout the floor, even if unnecessary Fixtures Can affect the efficiency of the light Poorly designed will absorb light Specular reflector Less bulbs = more efficient The reflector can be added in the place of a few bulbs in a multi bulb lamp, allowing for a 50% energy use reduction while keeping 60-80% of the initial light output quality Lighting Control Personnel sensors Senses if people are present in the room Photocell switches Senses the amount of natural light present Remote/Central control Lighting controlled by one person in one place Timers Can be set to automatically turn off after a certain time |
