City officials noticed that the parking facility was hardly used during late night hours. With continual pressure on the city’s budget, the city council sought ways to lower their energy bill as well as reduce maintenance costs.
At the same time, the neighborhood complained about the excessive lighting levels at this location.
Although switching off the lights after midnight is a financially attractive option, this would severely compromise public safety. The city wanted a solution that would lower their energy bill without compromising safety.
The City Council opted for Tvilight’s dynamic lighting solution and installed CitySense intelligent lighting controls throughout the parking lot. The solution works in a simple manner. The lights automatically dim (to 20%) during off-peak hours when there is no one around. As soon as any presence is detected, all the lights surrounding the occupant glow to full brightness. This ensures that there is sufficient light around occupants making them feel safe and comfortable.
The City Council also adopted Tvilight’s remote monitoring and control software, CityManager, to collect statistical data and failure reports.
The results are astonishing. The city has achieved energy savings of 54% on their conventional lighting and the community has hailed the city’s efforts and given positive feedback about their experience.
