Timeclock Lighting Controls Design

 Timeclock lighting controls allow you to reduce your electrical monthly consumption as the operation is fully automatic once programmed based on your preferred schedules.

There are basically two major types of time clocks which are as follows:

• Electronic – electronic timeclock controls are a bit more complicated to use, mainly due to the number of electronic timeclock brands on the market. Since each of them will have their own manuals, it’d be ideal to look for that specific brand via the internet. Electronic timeclocks have the astronomical feature which automatically adjusts the time switch in accordance with the time changes.
• Mechanical – a more “traditional” approach for lighting control, a mechanical timeclock features a large dial displaying the days and times. In order to set the time based on your preferred schedule, you simply have to pull the dial outwards then align the time on the dial with the arrow. After that, simply align the “On” and “Off” tab to your desired time then wait for the lights to automatically turn on and off throughout the day.

One of the main reasons why you might want to consider timeclock lighting controls is that they allow you to set various lighting levels for different times throughout the day. They can be quite flexible and multi-functional, and there are even internal batteries which can retain the memory settings you’ve set in the event of power outages.

Why Consider Our Timeclock Lighting Control Design?

With our timeclock lighting control design service, you can expect the following:

• Better and more efficient space lighting
• Easy-to-use controls for hassle-free scheduling
• Enhanced comfort due to better lighting
• Automatic lighting based on the predetermined schedules

During the designing process, we make sure to comply with the following relevant codes and regulations when it comes to lighting design:

• ASHRAE 90.1 Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings
• International Energy Conversation Code
• International Building Code

Despite the variations with each lighting code, they establish minimum lighting control strategies, lighting-power density metrics, and emergency light levels as their major requirements. Our designers and engineers will make sure to determine the proper version of the code which applies to your project.

This will be based on when your project’s design will start as well as the local building standards and regulations in your area. For example, if your property is in Chicago, we’ll have to comply with lighting codes relevant to the city and make sure to stay updated on the lighting requirements implemented.

Another major factor we take into account during the lighting control design process is sustainability. As designers, we will do our best to comply with the requirements set by the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) guidelines. Compared to other building codes, however, LEED provisions are voluntary.

In spite of that, we always strive to incorporate more sustainable strategies into your timeclock lighting control design in order to achieve more credits to receive a higher certification level. Strategies involving control design, lighting quality, and LPD all contribute to a project’s LEED scorecard which will help you achieve either a basic, Silver, Gold, or Platinum LEED certification.

At Nearby EngineersNew York Engineers, you can expect only high-quality designs for your timeclock lighting controls. Our long years of experience in the MEP industry allows us to provide designs that aren’t just detailed and comprehensive but are also cost-efficient, scalable, and have cost-reduction capabilities. By providing the best of our services, we’re able to create a solid reputation within major cities like New York and Chicago, as well as in other areas throughout the US.

By working with us, you can expect the following:

• Convenience

The most obvious thing you can expect from our designs is convenience, as what a timeclock lighting control system is supposed to provide. However, we take it up a notch by striving to provide you with the ultimate lighting control experience.

With our timeclock lighting control designs, you can conveniently set the lighting times based on your preferred schedule. The controls are fairly easy to use and intuitive so you don’t have to get lost trying to figure out how to set your lighting times. You even have the option to set your lighting to turn on during the sunset and turn off during midnight.

Our designs at Nearby EngineersNew York Engineers also incorporate a handful of convenient product features. For example, we incorporate portable tabletop keypads so you can adjust the lighting regardless of where you are within your building. Additionally, there’s also the keypad backlighting which allows you to read the buttons with ease even during the dark.

• Energy-saving

Our lighting control designs are made to be energy-efficient. Therefore, you can expect to enjoy hundreds of savings on your utility bills every month. Most homeowners tend to turn their lights on throughout their house once it gets dark outside then turn them off as soon as they go to sleep.

Unfortunately, in large buildings, most lights might be left unnecessarily on for several hours. This can prove to be a disaster as it could often lead to your energy bills piling up unexpectedly. This can be resolved by implementing energy-saving strategies that automatically turn off lighting when not necessary.

• Safety and security

The ability to integrate safety and security measures to your lighting system is important. As soon as an alarm is tripped, your lighting system should be able to react accordingly. Our timeclock lighting control designs are integrated with a feature that forces the interior lights to reach full brightness and the exterior lights to flash in case of an intrusion. This feature will make it easier for authorities to identify which property is in trouble.

• Full control

One of the key features of our designs is that they provide you with full lighting control. You have the option to set the schedule of the lighting to fit your requirements and specifications. You can choose whether to turn on a light when waking up early in the morning or turn it on later.

Basically, all you need to do is set the schedule for the lighting, and the controls will do the rest. We designed our timeclock lighting control designs in a way that you don’t have to experience a hard time configuring it to suit your exact needs.

• Elegance

Lastly, you can expect elegance via our modernistic approach to our designs. You can expect several unique control styles that will go accordingly with your lifestyle and décor choices.
