The new lighting system uses Power-over-Ethernet (Poe) to connect the luminaires to the building's computer network. The system collects, Stores, shares and distributes anonymous data obtained by the sensors integrated in the luminaires. Information such as room occupancy or temperature can be used to adjust lighting levels, heating and air conditioning or to optimize the use of office space, as well as the scheduling of cleaning or maintenance services.
Efficient use of sensor-connected LED lighting ensures that lights turn off when people leave a room. When combined with accurate, real-time data about the Torre Europa building, the energy use of lighting can be reduced by up to a 70%, which represents an annual reduction of 15 tons of CO2 per plant.
