Lighting in modern buildings is not only required to provide good visual conditions for people's work, study and life, and create an indoor environment with certain style and beauty by using lamp modeling and light color to meet people's physiological and psychological requirements, but also take into account the needs of intelligent management, simple operation, flexible change and easy expansion. Shanghai Office Furniture Expo experts show that intelligent office lighting will become the future trend of development.


At present, most buildings still use the traditional lighting control mode, and some intelligent buildings only realize the simple area lighting and timing switch function. In contrast, intelligent lighting control uses I0T technology to implement one or more control strategies according to local conditions according to the actual use of the office, such as constant illumination control, personnel movement detection, clock control, scene control, human factor lighting control, etc., which can achieve dynamic lighting effects, personalized lighting and more optimized and flexible light experience. Thus improve the comfort and safety of the lighting environment, and create a suitable office light environment and atmosphere.


Office intelligent lighting system design


According to different functions, the office space is divided into two parts: office space and public space. Among them, the office space mainly includes large space office, personal office, conference room, etc. The public space mainly includes the front desk, the tea room, the sanitary room, the corridor, the staircase and so on. On the basis of meeting the daily office needs, office lighting should also consider energy saving, be safe, reliable, convenient maintenance and overhaul, and coordinate with the environment.



Intelligent lighting control strategy in office


Intelligent lighting in office space should fully consider the light needs of office workers and provide the most appropriate light environment - the right light appears in the right place when needed. Through the use of natural light, the use of constant illumination induction control, non-contact automatic induction control (infrared or microwave induction), time control, scene control, human lighting, cross-border interconnection and other comprehensive lighting control strategy, to create a more green, energy-saving, healthy, comfortable and efficient intelligent office environment.


1. Constant illumination control.


The lamp near the window should be dimmed with the light sensor probe, which can dynamically adjust the brightness automatically according to the intensity of the natural light outside the window to ensure the best working surface illuminance. On sunny days, lamps are dimmed to be more energy efficient; And on rainy days, they increase light output to make up for the illumination.


2. Contactless automatic induction control.


By deploying infrared or microwave sensors in specific places, it can sense whether there are people passing or occupying in the space in real time, so as to realize the light control of "people are on, people are off, and time out". Avoid manual control of the risk of cross infection caused by personnel frequently touching the wall control panel market.


3. Time control.


Through the central control system, different scenes are called according to the pre-set period, and the typical time control has different lighting environment choices during work time, work time, and lunch break. You can also set the scene in advance according to daily office hours, holidays and weekends, and special company celebrations.


4. Scene mode.


Scene mode mainly refers to the different activities of people in the office space, which need to correspond to different lighting environments. The triggering of different scene modes can come from the illumination and person status information collected by the sensor, or through the touch panel, or for a specific time to trigger, flexibly to meet diverse lighting needs.


5. Human lighting.


Combined with the latest medical and physiological research, different illuminance and color temperature accompanied by human circadian rhythm will have an impact on people's physical and mental health. Human lighting can be changed according to the needs of people in different periods of time, such as the use of warm color temperature in the morning and evening time, and the use of daylight colors that can improve work efficiency during the day. Human lighting not only meets the visual needs of lighting, but also takes into account the emotional and physiological needs of people.


6. Cross-border interconnection.


Through the open interface, the linkage with the building automatic control system in the building can achieve cross-border integration, bringing further energy saving in addition to the lighting itself, and creating a more comfortable and healthier working environment, helping the smart building to provide an integrated solution.



Compared with the traditional lighting method, the intelligent lighting control system can not only optimize the lighting environment of the office building, but also set the lighting of different scenes in a targeted way, so that the employee experience is better, and meet the needs of environmental protection and energy saving. According to statistics, under the cooperation of smart lights and controllers, it can save about 50% of the power of the office. It is believed that with the development of domestic intelligent lighting research and development and production technology and the increase of product promotion, intelligent lighting applications in the field of office are expected to be popularized.
