 REDUCTION IN ENERGY CONSUMPTION
FOR ACHIEVING VISUAL COMFORT
❖ Adequate day lighting and glare control measures adopted.
❖ 100% desks equipped with LED lights governed by motion sensors.
❖ The Artificial Lights - dimmed up & dimmed down
❖ The Task Lights have an Intelligent Built-in Occupancy sensor in conjunction
with a Continuous dimmer.
❖ Lighting of individual offices is controlled by combined daylight and
occupancy sensors.
