For
a hotel appearance is the major selling feature. The lighting control
system should present the room in the best possible light. A hotel generally
accommodates a variety of operating modes and hotel staff needs to be
able to quickly and easily reconfigure the room between functions, to
meet the differing needs of each client. To achieve this aim, the lighting
designer would set up the preset scenes for all likely applications and
room combinations in advance.
The most important point to note is that understanding the need and requirement
of lighting control systems at various sections of the entire hotel. The
hotel lighting control system should be flexible and must be as energy
efficient as possible when not in use.
Now Z.S.Microtech classify some of the area in hotel
where lights are necessary but if used sensibly a tremendous amount of
energy can be save
Passage
& corridor area Here lights are must through out the day and night
if natural lights are not present. This part consumes huge
amount of energy which can be saved through motion sensor
based lighting control system.
Ball room
The appearance of ball room is the major selling point
of the hotel. Here all types of decorative lightings are used
for best presentation. A ball room generally accommodates a
variety of operating modes and hotel staff needs to be able
to quickly and easily reconfigure the room between functions,
to meet the differing needs of each client. To achieve this
aim, the lighting designer would set up the preset scenes for
all likely applications and room combinations in advance.
As well as the requirement for flexibility and repeatability
of lighting settings, the room must be as energy efficient as
possible when not in use. To effectively render the colours
in the room, decorative light fittings and chandeliers typically
utilise energy-hungry incandescent lamps. These have a short
life span and are often difficult to access, but are necessary
to create the atmosphere that guests expect. The control system
should restrict use of expensive-to-operate lamps during times
when only hotel staffs are present and use of expensive ‘public’
lighting should only be permitted by authorized persons.
Reception
area or waiting room These areas are also most important and must be presented
well. Here all types of decorative lightings are used for
best presentation. Here also the hotel staff needs to be able
to quickly and easily reconfigure the room between functions,
to meet the differing needs of each client. To achieve this
aim, the lighting designer would set up the preset scenes
for all likely applications and room combinations in advance.
By changing scenes to energy saving mode when not in use will
save considerable amount of energy.
Outside
area (i.e. lawn or compound of the hotel) During night the lawn or compound of the hotel must
be secured and well lighted. Generally high wattage halogen
lights are used in these areas, which consumes heavy energy.
But these lights are not needed all the time and generally used
for security purpose from the intruders. Thus we can put these
lights on motion sensor based lighting system which only lights
up when any intruders comes into the lawn or compound. This
system can save tremendous amount of energy.
