Optimised energy efficiency
The Rapid lighting control system from CP Electronics has been installed to provide energy-efficient switching and dimming in new buildings recently constructed by Pembroke College, Oxford.
Specified and installed by R T Harris & Son, Oxford, various products from CP have been used to control illumination levels in student accommodation areas, corridors, the lecture theatre, café, seminar rooms, toilets & stores. These include the passive infrared detector EBDSPIR-PRM, which can be set for absence/ presence detection, switching the load on or off according to occupancy after a preset time. The time delay is adjustable between 10 seconds and 99 minutes and, if there is sufficient natural light, a built-in photocell will keep the lighting switched off. It also has the benefit of optional manual override and has been utilised in all corridors in student accommodation areas, in addition to toilets and stores.
