YOUR WORLD IN A BETTER LIGHT of college and university campuses. This
is possible with a wireless lighting
control system, but how can it help your institution reach its goals and positively impact your bottom line?
With a growing environmental conscious- ness and the push to go green, it’s no surprise that sustainability and energy efficiency are important considerations for decision makers in higher education. A smaller carbon footprint is not only better for the environment; it can also fulfill your school’s mission, cut down on costs, and even aid in recruiting environmen- tally conscious students.
A wireless lighting system can signifi- cantly reduce energy consumption, which means big savings for your institution. Costs are further reduced by a system that is easy to set up and doesn’t require reconfiguring existing infrastructure, which can result in a disruptive and costly installation process.
Ease of use is also key. With the multi- purpose nature of most campus buildings, adaptability, and multi-user connectivity are crucial elements to an effective lighting solution.
And of course, it all has to look good. The right lighting system can enhance a building’s appearance and foster an environment of ca- maraderie and productivity, and an aestheti- cally pleasing, well-lit campus is a source of pride for faculty and students alike.
At the forefront of wireless lighting control solutions is the Audacy System,
an industry leader in energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and usability. Based on extensive research into the higher education sector, the team behind the Audacy System has a full understanding of the unique needs
integrated system caters to those needs and delivers light through an efficient, future- purposed design.
You can bring your institution to peak energy efficiency with the Audacy System’s advanced features such as daylight harvest- ing, which adjusts lights in a space based
on the presence or lack of ambient light. Intuitive occupancy sensors and scheduling capabilities can further cut energy consump- tion by turning off lights in unused spaces. By sensing these changes and adapting the light scheme accordingly, the Audacy System lowers overall energy use while keeping oc- cupants well-lit and efficient.
From installation to programming to daily use, the Audacy System keeps it simple every step of the way. Installing the system is easy. Because of the wireless design, it can be installed without entering walls or creating other physical disruptions. This saves time and installation costs. Plus, the system is highly customizable. A one-time installation can be easily reconfigured to grow with your institution’s changing needs. Switches can be repositioned, fixtures can be swapped, and the entire lighting layout can be redesigned without the hassle of a total re-installment. Creating lighting scapes to serve faculty and students is simple via the Audacy app, and switching from one light pattern to another is even easier.
The Audacy System’s advanced control sys- tem allows an entire campus to be managed from just one device. The secure app allows admins to give access to others, and the user- friendly interface makes it simple to adjust the lighting to their needs. It’s the perfect solution
for a multi-user university facility.
