LEED Strategies: Sustainable sites

Sustainable sites
A.1. Maintain site lighting to prevent light pollution
Savings from lighting according to requirements
KNX can control large groups of lights, either directly or by integrating the DALI standard, which enables the regulation of LED and fluorescent lights. The control can limit the maximum power values, as well as grouping the lights in lighting scenes. It also enables the use of astronomical clocks and conventional clocks to programme the on and/ or off times. On the other hand, when the external lighting provided is insignificant, the shades or shutters may be lowered to avoid light radiating to the outside.
A.2. Harvest rainwater
KNX allows to detect when it is raining and to prepare the system to harvest water. It also shows the filling levels of tanks and activates the impeller pumps as efficiently as possible. It is possible to measure the water's ORP and PH levels
