1. With flexible buildingsinto the future.

With motivated employees to higher

performance.

Modern Buildings must be Flexible

Well-being at the workplace has an

enormous influence on working per-

formance. Comfort is a combination

of everything the user is exposed to.

Good lighting, proper glare protec-

tion, pleasant temperatures and ade-

quate ventilation increase the capabi-

lity of staff to perform.

Complex construction projects are built from thousands of decisions. Let's start with the most important.

3.2. With intelligent automation to improved

energy balance.

As a result of rapid economic and

social changes, much greater flexibi-

lity is demanded from modern, pur-

pose-built buildings than was the

case in the past. When the site

remains the same, the primary requi-

rement is that rooms can be later

adapted to meet new needs. This

capability is one of the major advan-

tages of the LUXMATE system.

An intelligent room automation

system takes into account the diffe-

rent uses of the different rooms. It

controls the different subsystems -

such as lighting, blinds and indoor

climate - according to need and

tunes these to one another. However,

the room user is still able to interve-

ne manually at any time.

For example: daylight dependent con-

trol of artificial light, room tempera-

ture adjusted according to time-of-

day and presence/absence of

persons, and reduction of the load on

air conditioning plant through selec-

tive control of blinds and windows

contribute to improving the energy

balance.

Light Motivates

Light promotes good health and has a

positive influence on people's motiva-

tion. This knowledge from health and

behavioural research has also been

confirmed in the sector of ergono-

mics - the study of performance

potential and optimal working condi-

tions for human beings. Proper light

increases the "feel-good" factor and

work motivation, and therefore leads

to improved performance. The results

of ergonomic studies are increasingly

being applied to the world of work.

Room automation systems for opti-

mal light and room scenarios in offi-

ces and work rooms generate well-

being and motivation on the part of

the employees. Thus investments in

room automation systems are not

investments in the building, but

investments in the people.

Investment in light and room management is investment in people

Costs incurred by an office building over a service life of 20 years

For each different activity, the

Luxmate system enables a predefined

scene to be recalled "at the press of

a button". These preset scenes are

optimized for the room user by

means of the room automation

system. The incident daylight is used,

while avoiding disturbing factors

resulting from changing outdoor con-

ditions - e.g. dazzle by direct sunlight,

too much or insufficient light, effects

of fluctuating outdoor temperatures.

The greatest expenses in an office building are the personnel costs, which

amount to 80% of the total. (In comparison, the costs for the room automation

system can be measured in tenths of one percent.) The creation of optimal

working conditions is a contribution to increased performance and maintaining

the health of the employees - and therefore contributes towards lowering per-

sonnel costs.

HUMAN

BUILDING ENVIRONME

LRA

Using special algorithms to process

the data on outdoor light conditions

provided by the external daylight

sensor, the LRA calculates the best

possible settings for the automated

subsystems. In this way, luminaires,

blinds or windows can be controlled

individually or in groups, building-

wide, in accordance with the environ-

mental conditions.

The Building is Aware, the Room Provides Support

LUXMATE LRA starts at the contact points between humanbeing, building and environment.LUXMATE LRA recognizes influences, is aware of usage circumstances, and uses this knowledge to create cross-sub-system, room-specific situations.

Building services technology is in the

throes of revolutionary change. Up to

now, the different subsystems within

the building services management

system were regarded as separate

systems.

In fast jedem Raum treffen verschie-

dene Gewerke mit unterschiedlichen

Funktionen aufeinander.

Dank dem objektorientierten und klar

strukturierten Datenaufbau des

LUXMATE-Systems können die Gewerke

mit dem LRA einfach in Beziehung

gebracht und nach Art der Raum-

nutzung automatisiert werden.

Der Benutzer kann durch einfaches

Auswählen einer Stimmung an einem

Bediengerät sein Arbeitsumfeld opti-

mal gestalten. Die Gewerke passen

sich dabei im Hintergrund automa-

tisch an.

As an example, the current daylight

situation is queried from a single LM-

TLM external daylight sensor. Depen-

ding on the level of daylight in the

room, the LRA algorithms calculate

the brightness of the artificial light

and the angle of the blind slats,

taking into account their mutual

interaction.

The central entity under considerati-

on is the specific room in the buil-

ding. We therefore speak of room

automation.

LUXMATE Room Automation in Practice

Room automation is one component

of technical facility management. As

a result of its automation capability

and provision of information, the LRA

makes the connection to commercial

management. The technical processes

in the building are recorded by the

LRA and passed on to higher-level

systems.

Object oriented, clear data structures enable the simple, integralcontrol of different subsystems.

For Rooms and Buildings with „IQ“

1.Comfort is a combination of ever-

ything the human being is exposed to.

Artificial light, daylight and indoor

climate adjusted to the needs of the

user are the determining factors.

Cross-subsystem room automation is

defined according to the kind of room

and the way it is used. For example, if

the "Monitor" scene is recalled in an

office while the outdoor light situati-

on is constantly changing, the arti-

ficial light in the room is dimmed

according to the amount of daylight

entering the room and the blinds are

adjusted so as to prevent any glare at

the computer workplace.

If the scene "Meeting" is recalled, the

subsystems are adjusted in accordan-

ce with defined required values and

immediately provide a bright and fri-

endly atmosphere despite fluctuati-

ons in the situation outdoors.

The room user can influence this sim-

ply and intuitively by pressing the

corresponding scene key. Moreover,

the room user can intervene in the

automation process at any time, for

example by dimming the lights or

adjusting the room temperature.

LUXMATE LRA and its ergonomic aspects

16

Facilities can be expanded through

additional LRA-1500(x)s , which can

then be connected together by a

common network. Data and informati-

on relevant for the facility are

exchanged flexibly, over a server,

between the LRA-1500(x) and the

application programs installed on the

office network.

2.If new LUMATE outputs need to be

automated when the facility is expan-

ded at a later date, these can be inte-

grated without difficulty on the LRA-

1500(x). Up to 500 LUXMATE outputs

can be automated on each of the

three field buses.

If reorganization of the rooms gene-

rates the need for re-addressing and

a new daylight dependent control of

the subsystems, these data are

accepted automatically by the LRA-

1500(x). Time entries can be adapted

directly at the LRA-1500(x).

LUXMATE LRA and itscontribution to conser-ving assets

3.The daylight dependent control of

artificial light enables energy costs to

be reduced by up to 60% compared

with a conventional lighting facility.

Freely definable and mutually tuned

time control of artificial light, windo-

ws, room temperature and blinds also

contributes to an optimized energy

use in the room and in the building as

a whole.

One cost benefit of an LRA room

automation system lies in the fact

that only one external daylight sen-

sor is necessary to provide the input

reference variables for the daylight

dependent control of the subsystems

in a facility. These reference varia-

bles are processed through the diffe-

rent algorithms of the LRA-1500(x),

subsystem-specifically, for daylight

dependent control of the artificial

light and the blinds.

Further benefits derived from the

LRA are the significantly lower plan-

ning, installation and maintenance

costs in comparison to those of

locally automated systems.

LUXMATE LRA and its effect on the energy balance

17

LRA-1500(x)

Blinds on buildings are divided accor-

ding to directional groups or facades.

Blinds on such facades are controlled

depending on the measured values of

daylight, the horizontal angle of the

sun (alpha) and the elevation of the

sun (gamma). The control function is

active only while the sun is actually

shining on the directional group.

The daylight algorithms of the

LRA-1500(x) are responsible for con-

trolling the artificial light depending

on the amount of daylight entering the

room. In performing this task, the arti-

ficial light from every individual lumi-

naire is compensated according to the

daylight by means of a control charac-

teristic curve adapted to the situation

in the room. Offset points are used to

adapt the control characteristic curve

to the light needs of the room user

with regard to the time-of-day and

season of the year, and dependent on

brightness. The measured values arri-

ving from the external daylight sensor

are differentiated by the daylight

algorithm between diffuse and direct

daylight. This makes it possible to cal-

culate daylight trends and the speed

at which daylight is changing.

If blinds are used in rooms subject to

daylight dependent control, account is

taken of the influence of the blind

position on the light conditions in the

room. In addition to the characteristic

curve for daylight control, an additio-

nal characteristic curve is used for the

reaction of the artificial light to the

influence of the blind.

LRA Software Programs in Detail

Time management using the LRA-

1500(x) enables time-dependent

actions to be performed, for example

the recall of scenes or the adjustment

of blinds. The moment at which the

action is performed can either be

defined absolutely or be linked to

particular states, for example scene,

setpoint values of LUXMATE outputs

such as room temperature or outdoor

brightness, or vacation, weekday,

date, etc. Time management is enab-

led automatically with orders of at

least 100 LRA-RMA licences.

Time management

The emergency light software of the LRA-

1500(x) supports the emergency light

functionality of LUXMATE devices (indivi-

dual batteries), emergency lighting facili-

ties with central batteries, and group bat-

teries. By means of the Windows

emergency lighting graphical user inter-

face LMW-ELM, which can also be instal-

led as a client directly on the LRA-

1500(x), the emergency lighting facility

can be visualized and errors and diverse

stati can be displayed. Tests of the emer-

gency lighting facility can be recorded as

hard copy over a printer.

The emergency light management service

provider on the LRA-1500(x) processes all

connected LUXMATE Emergencyoutputs

in accordance with the LRA-ELM licence.

Emergency light management

Planning notes

A maximum of 10 clients can be

installed directly on the LRA-1500(x).

Clients are the graphical user interfa-

ce (GO), room management (iSKIN),

emergency light visualization (LMW-

ELM), etc.

The configuration software LMW-ZM

and LMW-JM also counts as a client.

Interface COM 1 is to be reserved for

Field Bus 1, Com 2 for Field Bus 2,

COM 3 for Field Bus 3 and, depending

on the topology, COM 4 for the back-

bone bus or BMS or for the connec-

tion to the emergency light system.

If the external daylight sensor LM-

TLM is connected to a field bus the

bus line from the LM-TLM to the LRA-

1500(x) must be laid separately.

A bus coupler LM-BK and a bus power

supply LM-BV (LM-BVS35) must be

present on the backbone bus. 18

The provider Dynamic Light enables

dynamic light situations to be crea-

ted. Time controlled dimming values

are transmitted to luminaires in

accordance with curve entries in rela-

tive or absolute lists. This dynamizati-

on of artificial light can be applied

selectively to all the luminaires in the

room, to individual groups, or to

single luminaires.

Dynamic light

The burning hours software records

the percentage burning hours, the

total burning hours and the energy

consumption of each luminaire. The

energy consumption of the luminaire

is calculated from the wattages of the

lamps and the number of ballasts.

Over the building management

system (BMS) interface, the values

obtained for energy consumption,

burning hours and percentage bur-

ning hours can be made available to

an outside system for further proces-

sing. Burning hours and percentage

burning hours are displayed on the

LUXMATE graphical user interface

GO.

The burning hours management servi-

ce provider on the LRA-1500(x) pro-

cesses all LUXMATE light outputs in

accordance with the LRA-RMA licen-

ce.

Burning hours management

The LRA-1500(x) climate management

exchanges data between the air-condi-

tioning devices LM-Kxx connected to

the field buses and/or the external ser-

ver or with the outside system over the

BMS interface. These data can include

actual room temperatures, heating sur-

face temperatures, valve settings, etc.,

together with information about the

current control status, e.g. lowered

night-time temperature, etc.

Indoor climate management

The superroom software enables

rooms to be defined as superrooms.

Switching, relative setting and absolu-

te setting instructions within the

superrooms are transmitted to other

rooms. These rooms are entered in a

list of "subrooms" associated with the

corresponding superroom.

Superroom

The BMS interface enables the

LUXMATE facility to exchange data

with an outside system. The LRA-

1500(x) is connected to the outside

system over the RS-232 interface.

Data exchange is also possible using

TCP/IP. On the basis of specific

instructions from the outside system

to the BMS, the outside system recei-

ves in return messages concerning

the current scene in a room, values of

manipulated variables and energy

consumption of luminaires, tempera-

ture values, etc., for further proces-

sing. In addition, outside systems can

recall scenes in any LUXMATE rooms,

can dim luminaires, adjust the blinds

and also open or close windows. The

information is transmitted in ASCII

plain text.

Building managementsystem (BMS)

The ON/OFF slide switch on the

LM-PCSIR must be set to OFF. The

operating system Windows NT 4.0 is

very stable, but if it should crash it

restarts automatically.

The LRA-1500(x) is supplied with

power over the mains cable plugged

into the LM-PCSIR (Field Bus 1).

In LUXMATE facilities with several

LRA-1500(x)s a monitor must be

installed for service purposes. An

electronic switch-box must be used to

switch the monitor between the indi-

vidual LRA-1500(x)s. Switch-box

cables must be ordered according to

the number of LRA-1500(x)s.

If remote maintenance of facilities

with several networked LRA-1500(x)s

will be performed over a telephone

line, a full version of the software

PCAnyWhere must be installed on

this LRA-1500(x).

The 4-port hub is used for networking

LRA-1500(x)s or for use with an

external server. If the 4-port hub is

not sufficient, a suitable hub for the

specific project must be provided.

The LUXMATE project department

must be consulted if more than 6

LRAs and one server are networked

to an LM-LAN.19

Commissioning

We will be happy to commission your

LUXMATE facility for you. Once the

installation has been accepted, we per-

form the commissioning of the LUXMA-

TE facility quickly and professionally in

accordance with the planning documen-

tation at hand.

Configuration of the automation

LUXMATE is glad to make available its

many years of experience, especially in

the daylight dependent automation of

lighting and blinds for a wide variety of

different room types. Application speci-

fic knowledge is particularly necessary in

connection with the high specifications

of cross-subsystem automation. The ser-

vices offered can be adapted to the

scope of the technical equipment instal-

led in the LUXMATE facility and to the

complexity of the automation systems.

Maintenance/remote /monitoring

We also offer a regular function and

safety inspection of your LUXMATE facili-

ty after it has been sold, delivered and

accepted. The scope of the service and

the duration of the maintenance are

adapted individually to your needs.

Project coordination

In just those construction projects

where the LUXMATE system is linked to

and integrated in the building services

system, the technical coordination bet-

ween the different manufacturers is

frequently complicated and therefore

needs professional project coordination

and monitoring. With this service we

provide you with competent coordinati-

on and support during all those phases

of the construction project in which

LUXMATE is involved.

For Small Office Buildings witha Great Future

1.From an ergonomic point of view it is

desirable to control daylight in such a

way that the attentiveness of the

staff in the office is improved and the

mental stress people have to endure

is reduced to a minimum. In this con-

text, the way in which the daylight

entering the room is dealt with plays

a decisive role – because this light

constantly changes with the time of

day, with the season of the year and

with the state of the sky. The employ-

ees are provided with an optimal light

situation appropriate to the work

being performed in the office.

When motivation andperformance count

26

The rational exploitation of natural

daylight and compensation of the

artificial lighting enables a balanced

brightness level to be achieved in the

room. As a result, the eyes no longer

have to adapt continuously to diffe-

rent levels of brightness – leading to

corresponding improvements in

visual perception and well-being.

Daylight dependent control of glare

protection in the area of the workpla-

ce prevents the field of vision from

becoming too bright. This prevents

the early onset of eye fatigue and

increases performance as a result.

Natural daylight helps the human eye

to register colour, contrast and

detail. The daylight fraction in the

necessary illumination level and the

improved visual power it generates

leads to a considerable improvement

in the quality and quantity of the

work performed.

Disturbing stimuli in the work envi-

ronment, such as objects that give

out too much light, glare, reflections,

etc., are minimized when the daylight

is dealt with optimally and the artifi-

cial light is optimally controlled.

It has been proved that optimal light

conditions improve performance atti-

tude and performance capability and

lead to higher productivity in terms

both of quality and of quantity.

2.Work depends more than other activi-

ties upon the active, aware and pur-

poseful processing of information.

The proper use of natural daylight

supports the specific, work related

visual tasks and perceptions. The

resulting improvement in information

processing leads to increased safety

and improved quality in the corre-

sponding work environment. A requi-

rement for this is the alignment of

the effects of natural and artificial

light on the visual task of the respec-

tive work situation.

When safety pays off

For an Optimal Work Environment inSmall Business and Industrial Buildings

Blinds on buildings are divided accor-

ding to directional groups or facades.

Blinds on such facades are controlled

depending on the measured values of

daylight, the horizontal angle of the

sun (alpha) and the elevation of the

sun (gamma). The control function is

active only while the sun is actually

shining on the directional group.

The daylight algorithms of the LRA-

150Sare responsible for controlling

the artificial light depending on the

amount of daylight entering the

room. In performing this task, the

artificial light from every individual

luminaire is compensated according

to the daylight by means of a control

characteristic curve adapted to the

situation in the room. Offset points

are used to adapt the control charac-

teristic curve to the light needs of

the room user with regard to the

time-of-day and season of the year,

and dependent on brightness. The

measured values arriving from the

external daylight sensor are differen-

tiated by the daylight algorithm bet-

ween diffuse and direct daylight. This

makes it possible to calculate day-

light trends and the speed at which

daylight is changing.

If blinds are used in rooms subject to

daylight dependent control, account

is taken of the influence of the blind

position on the light conditions in the

room. In addition to the characteri-

stic curve for daylight control, an

additional characteristic curve is

used for the reaction of the artificial

light to the influence of the blind.

Blinds management onthe LRA LRA-150S

LRA Software Programs in Detail

Time management using the LRA-

150S enables time-dependent actions

to be performed, for example the

recall of scenes or the adjustment of

blinds. The moment at which the

action is performed can either be

defined absolutely or be linked to par-

ticular states, for example scene, set-

point values of LUXMATE outputs

such as room temperature or outdoor

brightness, or vacation, weekday,

date, etc. Time management is enab-

led automatically with orders of at

least 100 LRA-RMA licences.

Time management

Planning notes

The interface COM 1 is for Field Bus

1, COM 2 for remote maintenance,

LAN 1 for connecting up to 3 touch-

panels and LAN 2 for configuration

via laptop.

The ON/OFF slide switch on the LM-

PCSIR must be set to OFF. The opera-

ting system Windows NT 4.0 is very

stable, but if it does crash it restarts

automatically.

The power for the LRA.150S is sup-

plied via an external power supply;

remote control is implemented over a

telephone line with an external

modem (see Services LRA-150S).
