Smart Building Wiring
A smart-building converges building-wide systems (often referred to as building management systems-BMS, or building automation systems-BAS) including HVAC, PoE lighting, shades, alarms, and security into a single, IT-managed network infrastructure. It often uses foundational technology such as Power over Ethernet to accomplish this convergence.
What is Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
PoE refers to the ability to provide low-voltage (less than 100W), direct current (DC) electrical power to network devices via the same twisted-pair copper Ethernet cables that are used to transmit data. This eliminates the need for a separate AC power source and allows for more flexible placement options, without concern for proximity to a power outlet.
PoE is a low-cost, reliable, and flexible approach to powering smart devices in a network. It is crucial to enabling smart buildings and their ecosystems of network-connected devices such as lighting, window shades, sensors, HVAC controllers, cameras, and security systems.
This can:
-
Reduce up-front construction costs and time to completion when used for cabling, installation, and configuration. There is also a dramatic reduction in carbon footprint, since no conduit or high-voltage copper wiring need to be installed.
-
Lower capital expenditures, labor, and materials costs related to construction and maintenance.
-
Allow for greater flexibility in design and placement.
-
Enable the optimization and quantification of energy consumption by using the building's network as a sensor and interconnecting shades.
This saves money and reduces carbon footprint.
Digital Lighting
Using Digital Ceiling Technologies to adapt lighting to actual user needs means potential energy savings of $1.08 per square foot annually in commercial spaces. DCT can help building managers make better use of their space to reduce cost per square foot by as much as 50% based on improved building layouts verified by occupancy analysis. In a retail environment, improvements in lighting and signage can result in an increase in potential sales revenue on the order of hundreds of dollars per square foot.
PoE lighting uses Power over Ethernet technology to connect, monitor, and control LED light fixtures used in smart building solutions. Smart PoE lighting reduces installation and operating costs by more than half and helps building owners meet wellness and sustainability goals.
Using PoE to power low-voltage DC-powered LED lighting has many benefits over both traditional lighting options (incandescent, fluorescent and CFL, and halogen) and newer AC-powered LED options. Using low-voltage LED lighting alone can offer a dramatic reduction in energy required per lumen compared to incandescent and halogen equivalents. But using PoE to power and connect lighting has several significant advantages. It can:
-
Reduce up-front construction costs and time to completion when used for cabling, installation, and configuration. There is also a dramatic reduction in carbon footprint, since no conduit or high-voltage copper wiring need to be installed.
-
Lower capital expenditures, labor, and materials costs related to construction and maintenance.
-
Allow for greater flexibility in design and placement.
-
Enable the optimization and quantification of energy consumption.
This saves money and reduces carbon footprint.
