Extra: Presentation by Dipl.-Ing. Thomas Brandner – Evecto Energy Solutions
Topic: Lighting and the environment
In most buildings, lighting is one of the largest wasters of electrical energy. Fortunately, lighting is also a field in which improvements can be achieved much easier than in many other building aspects such as insulation, heating, etc.
Evecto Energy Solutions designs and markets energy saving lighting controls which are suitable for retrofitting into existing lighting installations as well as for new buildings. Most of Evecto's solutions are based on the simple concepts of Occupancy Sensing (switching lights - or aircons- off when a room is not in use) and Daylight Dimming (automatic, continuous dimming of artificial light depending on the available daylight).
Thomas will bring a few demos and samples so we will be able to see some of the solutions in action.

Hope to see you there!
