Adura’s system presents an especially significant savings scenario for parking garages. Long hours of operation – often continuous -- and sporadic occupancy lead to wasted energy without effective controls to turn off or dim the lights when they aren't needed. Wireless, networked control is necessary to control these lights to provide uniform lighting around and in front of the occupant, without adding impractical control wiring to each fixture. Because of these conditions, Adura’s solution offers a compelling energy saving opportunity with attractive payback time.
Adura provides a unique control offering by wirelessly grouping fixtures that illuminate to full brightness ahead of a moving vehicle or pedestrian. When an area of the garage is vacated, the lights can dim to a level that provides safe, uniform lighting while delivering deep energy savings. Wireless grouping of fixtures is important for parking garages because it means that drivers and pedestrians are moving through fully lit areas, instead of leaving behind bright breadcrumbs of light fixtures indicating where they have been while they travel through a dimly lit garage.
The Adura Lighting Control Platform is in place in a number of parking garages, each with unique construction and operating characteristics. The following is a representative sample, and is not a comprehensive list of deployments:
