School Lighting through programmable time switches

Value proposition

• School Directors need to optimise operating costs by saving lighting energy and automatically starting school bells at the right time.
  

• Limit the amount of lighting used to the number of hours required for school activities by programming the times during which classrooms and common areas need to be lit.
  
• Monitor how long the lighting is used and be informed when the time is exceeded (for maintenance purposes).
  
• Program bell operating times and durations.

• Limiting the amount of lighting used to the number of hours required for school activities IHP provides light related energy savings.
  
• Without a time switch, the lights would be on from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm. With the time switches, this could be reduced to 3 hours in the morning, and 3 in the evenings, when light is really needed, therefore savings can be up to 50% depending on the original use .
  

Solution architecture

Main Energy Efficiency characteristics

• Easy modification of time switch program for special events and vacation.
  
• Easy copying of the program from one time switch to another with the memory key.
  
• Possibility of temporary timer or continuous override operation of standard switch or push-button installed away from the panelboard to allow cleaning and maintenance persons to work outside school hours.
  
• Automatic summer/winter time change.
  
• Implementation is extremely simple.
  
• The "override" function on the front face enables permanent lighting for cleaning and maintenance services.
  
• Capacity to monitor how long the lighting is used and be informed when the time is exceeded (for maintenance purposes).
