Sustainable Lighting for Office Complexes

We are gradually moving towards a world where we keep the environment and sustainability as our top priority, irrespective of what activity we do. Be it having an electric car, water conservation or sustainable lighting, environmental friendliness is being prioritised across all domains of our daily activities. From citizens to corporations and government, all entities are playing a crucial role towards safeguarding a future for the next generation.

Lighting is consumed by all of us on daily basis. It plays a huge role in causing environmental degradation of our planet. Majorly, energy is generated from non-green resources to date. However, this is starting to change as governments of various countries are adopting eco-friendly solutions to meet the agenda of Conference of Parties 26 and Sustainable Development Goals 2030 laid down by the United Nations.

As business leaders and citizens of the world, it is upon us to take charge of how we can contribute to society and make a difference. We have the technology that can provide green lighting solutions to your office buildings, complexes, and all types of commercial buildings. Before we dive deep into our environmentally friendly lighting solutions, let us understand the various impacts of lighting on a day-to-day basis.

Effects of Lighting

Environmental effect:

Organisations are trying to reduce their carbon footprint to implement green solutions in their organisations. Sustainable lighting for any commercial facility can be primarily achieved in two main ways:

Natural Lighting: Natural daylight is one of the best ways to have natural lighting in your facility. With the increased focus on sustainable architecture and designs, most of the new Commercial buildings and office facilities are now being designed in such a way that the maximum amount of sunlight enters the office workspace.
LED Lighting: By far, LED lighting is the most durable and sustainable form of light source available right now in the market. They last 100x more than incandescent bulbs and are way more durable since they do not have any filament. They require far less power less than 50% that of traditional light sources and therefore, are energy efficient and help to reduce overall carbon footprint.

Biological effect:

Light has a biological impact on our daily lives as well. According to a study, light can help shape our emotions and moods. Light can help us become calm, composed, and motivated. Different commercial facilities require different light setups. Brighter light is used in schools and hospitals to improve our level of focus whereas warm and dim lighting is used in movie theatres and hotels to help us relax and enjoy.

Designers and architects must keep in mind the different light setups required for the facilities as per their application or usages. Another biological factor that plays a crucial role in lighting is age. Older people have difficulty with bright light whereas young people do not. There is a role of colour as well wherein blue light is said to be used to keep people awake whereas red makes them calm.

Having the right light combination based on human biology can help save a huge amount of energy and allow eco-friendly lighting solutions to be implemented.

Solutions for Sustainable Lighting

elitedali’s solutions are bringing a paradigm shift in terms of lighting solutions for offices and workspaces. It brings the lighting and all other utilitiy services together, converged to the most efficient operations by extending the interoperability and data/control exchange between diverse systems.

Using Internet-of-Things (IoT) driven systems, we are reshaping the way lighting solutions needs to be implemented and ensuring they are sustainable. Combining the use of artificial and natural light, we are enabling a system wherein lights are used only when they are required. This reduces the overall energy consumption in a given office facility.

Let us deep dive into different sustainable lighting solutions offered by us that help your workspace go green:

Dynamic daylight harvesting

Dynamic Daylight Harvesting solution by elitedali uses a wide variety of automated technologies such as sensors and connected lights that provide light based on the occupants in the room or the time of the day. Fewer people at a workplace means less light is consumed and vice versa. Depending on the weather and time of the day, Dynamic Daylight Harvesting lighting solution can adjust the light at office accordingly. This is a data-driven sustainable lighting solution that can also decrease your energy bill by up to 70%.

Human Centric Lighting

We have already explained the emotional and psychological impact of light on our daily lives. Keeping that in mind, we have introduced Human Centric Lighting solutions. Using automation systems and understanding the human circadian rhythm, we have designed the lighting solution in such a way that it helps us uplift our moods and enables employees to be more motivated at workplaces. It also helps to reduce overall energy used in the lights and therefore, helps in decreasing carbon footprint as well.

We at elitedali are imagining a world where there is a future for all and at the same time, people can help the society nourish while saving the planet. Our lighting solutions have helped many organisations and institutions to improve their overall productivity while keeping the environment a top priority.
