The Challenge
A large commercial office building was wasting thousands of dollars monthly cooling empty floors and lighting unoccupied conference rooms, with no centralized control.
The Solution
We implemented a Smart Grid system using motion sensors and smart thermostats.
- Occupancy Detection: Using PIR sensors, lights and AC turn off automatically 15 minutes after a room is vacated.
- Load Shedding: Automatically dims non-essential lights during "Peak Pricing" hours to save on utility rates.
- Weather Sync: Adjusts indoor climate based on external sunlight and temperature predictions.
The Impact
Energy bills dropped significantly within the first month, and the building's carbon footprint was reduced by 20 tons annually.
