    Staro Process Control – Building Automation

    Staro Process Control – Building Automation

    VAC Solar was appointed to design and supply Staro Process Control’s new office block with lighting automation, mainly for energy saving reasons.

    PIR sensors were installed in all bathrooms to detect occupancy. Sensors were programmed for presence detection i.e. sensor will switch lights on once a person is detected and will turn lights off at a pre-set time after no movement was detected.

    PIR sensors were also installed in all service alleys. Service alleys are rarely visited and as a result if lights were forgotten on they will remain on for lengthy periods. Occupancy sensors will therefore conserve energy by switching lights off once no movement is detected.

    The underground parking has 3 access points namely stairs, lift and vehicle access ramp. PIR sensors were strategically installed at each of these entries to turn the parking area’s lights on when accessed.

    The training/conference centre is the “showroom” of the firm’s building automation. Eight different scenes were programmed for the 8 different lighting circuits of which 4 are on/off and 4 dimming circuits. When the centre is accessed, the 8 different lighting circuits will “wake up” in the pre-set “Welcome Scene”. Different scenes can be recalled for different requirements by making use of either a remote control or wall mounted momentary push-buttons. Once no movement is detected for a predetermined period, all lights will switch off.
