Beneficial from everyone's point of view
Sophisticated lighting systems
C-Bus offers the lighting engineer the flexibility to realise sophisticated
lighting systems which would be difficult and costly using conventional
wiring techniques and equipment. The planning process is significantly
reduced and the engineer is in a position to respond more rapidly
to the ever changing and increasing demands of modern buildings.
Simplified installation
For the electrical contractor, installation time is dramatically
reduced with cost savings in labour and materials. With the reduced
bulk of wiring, the installer finds that wiring is simpler and requires
less space to accommodate the same functions. The installer, using
a personal computer can easily program and commission the system.
Changes are also easier made using the same software as demands
on the installation change.
Inexpensive alterations
The investor is concerned with minimising initial costs, ongoing
running costs, shorter pay back periods as well as having the flexibility
to change building layouts to accommodate tenants needs. C-Bus satisfies
each goal. Whereas the office plan may alter for new tenants, the
lighting system can be reprogrammed to satisfy each client, saving
the investor rewiring costs.
Reduced electrical bills
The benefits to the user are reduced operating costs, adaptability
to structural changes with changes accommodated by in-house staff
using the graphical interface software. Encompassed as part of a
building management system, the user of the building can program
specific lighting and climate control sequences, automatically operating
lights and air-conditioning at certain times, or programming the
system to use off-peak electricity.
