It may
seem strange to use a home
automation phoenix system to save energy - after all won't the control
system itself use energy? Surely a minimalist approach to electrical hardware
is the best way to save energy? For many of us, elegant homes are persons
fancy, high-tech, costly systems that turn lights off and on, close blinds, and
do other trivial things for the ultra-lazy. It is the elaborate way that the
infamous Bill Gates enters his home by pressing his hand onto a scanner. A well designed home automation system can provide huge
benefits and savings in energy consumption:
Lighting Control
Lighting control systems can save
substantial amounts of energy. The dimming mechanism can save up to 70% of the
energy of a non-dimmed lamp which when coupled with activity detection and
daylight sensing can save huge amounts of energy. Put simply the home automation
system will determine if the room is occupied and if it is whether the existing
light level is sufficient. Big businesses have been using this technology for
years, and making huge savings, and now the likes of Crestron have started
releasing lighting keypads with light sensors built in for the domestic market.
Intelligent Power Switching
Switching things off when not
required is an easy way to save energy. Modern equipment has been designed to
use a lot less power when in standby which is why our control systems are
programmed to switch devices off when they are not required. With certain
devices - which we know to be inefficient even in standby - we can
automatically switch off all power to the devices. Our modern multi-room
amplifiers are Class D models which means each output has it's own power supply
and consequently only portions of the amplifier are switched on at any one
time. Please visit
