The day is divided into 3 sections:

·      A full technical conference during which we will discuss the main directions of regulations RT2012 and EN 15232 with the participation of an expert of the CSTB (Scientific and Technical Center of the Building industry - France). We will then show how LON® systems can meet these requirements while improving comfort and energy efficiency.

·      Agor@Lon will include 12 workshops to present and exchange information with permanent members of the building industry. These workshops will take place concurrently in 3 different rooms over 4 time slots.

·      We will conclude the day with a round table where we will finalize our regulatory texts analysis and where we will discuss the actual landscape that presents itself to the different members of the building industry with research departments, integrators, specialists and teachers.

 

Breaks and buffet lunch will be provided, aiming to facilitate meetings and exchanges, and to provide opportunities for small group discussions.

The Solution

The Mecca and Riyadh municipalities along with the Saudi Delta Group partnered with Romanian-based Flashnet SRL to implement the company’s flagship solution, intelliLIGHT®, a complete hardware and software solution for intelligent street lighting remote management. The state-of-the-art street lighting system is fully compatible with the existing electricity grids without the need for additional works.

As out-of-the-box compatibility is of key importance in the two city-wide implementations, LONWORKS was the natural choice when it came to open network communication platforms. LONWORKS ensures open communication between disparate devices and systems without the need for gateways and complicated commissioning and servicing. The open technology has a variety of applications, is widely deployed throughout the world, and is supported by hundreds of manufacturers.

The Results

At the onset of the project, both cities were interested to find a way to know if street lights were not performing, one that did not require driving around and looking at the lights. With the new system, real-time monitoring with alarm notifications provide municipal management with light bulb conditions, energy consumption, energy leakage, and system malfunctions including possible cable disruptions and door access status of lamps and power supply cabinets.

The intelliLIGHT lighting control system is modular and scalable. By using the open LONWORKS platform, the system can expand to accommodate new applications and technologies ensuring a future-proof foundation for control.

Project ROI

·      Reduced energy use by 25% 

·      Reduced maintenance costs by 30% 

·      Improved lighting quality 

·      Improved safety 

·      Lower CO2 emissions

·      Enabled remote notification of alarms or alert situations
