Solution: School Lighting through programmable time switches

Main drivers

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

Solution in brief
The solution suggested allows Directors to:

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.

Value proposition

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.

In addition to significant energy savings, this solution provides:

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).
