How to set up building automation control systems in an Open Office

Autani controls provide many benefits for open office layouts. The space can be dynamically rezoned into different regions when cubicle layouts are changed. Autani Thermostats can be scheduled for optimal comfort while supporting administrator-defined limited overrides to allow for temperature overrides in certain spaces. Wireless controls can be configured to support different optimal light levels through day and night, and light harvesting options allow lighting usage to be dialed back when exterior daylight enters the space.

Product Recommendations

• Clip-mount allows sensor to attach to luminaire housing
• 12V sensor with oval shape is ideal form factor for panels
• Bluetooth PIR analog sensor with Algo2 algorithm to maximize detection without false trigger
• Allows existing panel and downlight luminaires to upgrade
to luminaire level lighting control (LLLC)
• Daylight Harvesting
WP1025.B1 (5 Button) Battery-Powered Bluetooth Wall Switch
• Quick push-button control of Keilton+autani devices via Bluetooth

Control Strategies

Occupancy / Vacancy Sensing
Turn lights on when occupants are in a space and off when they vacate the space. Alternate Functionality: Partial-on and manual-on modes are supported for additional savings and for more stringent local codes.
High-End Trim / Institutional Tuning
Set the maximum light level based on customer requirements in each space to prevent overlighting.
Local Dimming Control
Permit occupants to lower the light level below the high-end trim for comfort and additional savings.
Daylight Harvesting
Dim lighting when daylight is available. Multiple zones are supported where required by code.
HVAC Control
Manage smart thermostats and sensors to implement temperature setback of HVAC equipment based upon occupancy or timeclock.
Automatic Scheduling & Timeclock*
Automatically dim or shut off lighting based on centrally managed schedules.
* Requires Autani Manager or CR02-W.A0.
Demand Management
Manage lighting and HVAC electrical loads to limit ratchet charges and peak demand pricing periods.
* Requires Autani Manager.
