School­building Hebel St. Gallen

Energy effi­ciency in the classroom

Top marks for the lighting conditions

The teacher comes into the classroom and switches on the light. At the end of the day, they leave the classroom and switch off the light. Or not.
This is still standard in many school buildings, consumes elec­tricity unnec­es­sarily and generates corre­sponding costs.
With the True Presence presence detector from STEINEL, you can save energy without having to sacrifice ideal lighting condi­tions. On the contrary: True Presence sensor tech­nology, combined with semi-auto­matic constant light control, is ideal for teaching and learning. Although the light adapts to daylight, it can still be adjusted manually at any time. And when school is out at the end of the day and the classroom is empty, the light switches off automatically.

nevalux shows how: Lighting control and user needs in harmony

How the inter­action between intel­ligent presence detection and manual oper­ation works

Solution

The Hebel school building in St. Georgen is a good 120 years old. Although the lighting in the class­rooms had not yet had quite so many years under its belt, refur­bishment was essential in connection with the overall reno­vation of the venerable building.
With the True Presence presence detector, we were able to fully fulfil the desire for a combi­nation of sensor tech­nology and constant light control. The needs of the teachers were also met. With the semi-auto­matic constant light control, they have the option of oper­ating the light manually at any time using push-buttons, i.e. switching it on and off or dimming it. Three control­lable groups are available: Wall panel, window side and wall side.
Together with the planner, we discussed the posi­tioning of the sensors and accom­panied the commissioning.

Fasci­nated by the world of sensor technology

We have been opti­mising and refining our sensor concepts as well as our lighting solu­tions for as long as we have been around. Because we want to under­stand and implement the tech­nology down to the last detail and be able to pass on our knowledge to users.
We would be happy to show you how True Presence opens up a new level of building automation — for your construction or reno­vation project too!

Hello
Save a lot of energy with intel­ligent lighting control 

Save elec­tricity

There is no need to switch off the lights manually. The sensor system takes over and guar­antees that no unnec­essary energy is consumed

Promoting indi­vid­u­ality

Rooms can be illu­mi­nated differ­ently with a lighting control system. The light simply adapts to the needs of the user.

Strengthen education

Light makes a decisive contri­bution to fatigue-free working. Give it to the pupils and teachers!

Build trust

We show you the possi­bil­ities and take care of planning, imple­men­tation and support. You can rely on us!

It’s as easy to plan as it is to use

Intel­ligent inner life

All the func­tion­ality is built into the presence detector. There is no need for a building management system.

Flexible appli­cation

All func­tions can also be controlled via conven­tional wall switches and adapted to the needs of the classroom.

Wide-area coverage

One detector per classroom is enough. This is because True Presence detects pres­ences and absences over an area of 64 m².

Shared knowledge

Just like at school: tasks are easier to solve together. We are there for you and work with you to make your project a success.

They have never been out of a classroom so quickly

Rapid instal­lation

Motion detection and control are inte­grated into the lumi­naires. This reduces the instal­lation effort many times over. Commis­sioning, including addressing the lumi­naires, is carried out simply via app.

Simple wiring

This solution enables you to connect all lumi­naires per classroom to one DALI bus.

Cleverly connected

A coupler module is added to existing light switches. And the light control system is up and running

Completely main­te­nance-free

Once in oper­ation, the sensor works as if by itself and is completely maintenance-free.

Product in detail

A presence detector that detects the next generation:

True Presence Dali UP

A straight 6 for this presence

The True Presence tech­nology is based on the finest high-frequency measure­ments of the surroundings. This enables the presence detector to recognise the presence of a person, regardless of what they are doing. Micro-move­ments such as breathing or slight shoulder move­ments are suffi­cient to register presence.
True Presence provides digital infor­mation about presence or absence, elim­i­nating unnec­essary run-on times. This in turn has an extremely positive effect on elec­tricity costs. Whereas with previous sensor models you also had to buy a remote control, here every­thing can be controlled via an app.

Now it’s time to work together.

I am Matthias Käser. The best way is to talk personally. 

I look forward to your call.
