USE OF COMPUTERISED RADIO CONTROL AND WEATHER FORECASTS TO SAVE ENERGY IN BUILDINGS

Objetivo

Development of a new type of computerised system to control heating and lighting equipment in buildings.
The aim is to achieve an annual decrease of energy consumption of about 30%.
Payback period is expected to be of 4 years.

The new system is able to control the boilers, the values of radiation and the lighting system.
Following elements are used to perform control and optimization :
- ambiant air temperature,
- infra-red detector to detect occupancy of rooms,
- meteorological forecasts.
Meteorological forecasts are received directly from the local meteorological station by means of a radio receiver integrated in the control system.
Each control system can be pre-programmed to take the specificity of each building into account.
