Public Reading Rooms
People are often spread out in a sparsely occupied reading room, or there would be sections which are vacant, but all the lights are still on, which is unnecessarily wasteful of energy use, also this is not easy to manage.
Large Reading Rooms
People Spread Out
Lights On But Vacant
Proposed Solution
Divide the entire room into two sections
Peak Time
The lights in the entire room are all on.
Off-Peak Time
- During sparsely occupied periods, the facility manager can use the touch panel to turn off the lights in one section, but leave the lights on the other section.
- The lights guide the people to congregate in one section, saving energy for the lighting and air conditioning.
Schedule Control
An automatic control schedule can be set up gradually through the touch panel itself.
