This document discusses global energy trends and alternatives to petroleum. It notes that global population and energy demand are rising rapidly. While unconventional oil and biofuels can help meet growing demand, they face challenges around environmental impacts, resource constraints, and high costs. Electricity and natural gas are also discussed as alternatives, but electricity generation is still heavily reliant on coal and natural gas. Significant technological advances and infrastructure build-outs would be needed for alternatives to fully replace petroleum on a large scale.

Sustainability & Green Impact @ DMU focuses on reducing the university's environmental impact through initiatives in four main areas: 1) buildings and energy, 2) travel, 3) waste and procurement, and 4) engaging staff and students. Key programs include installing solar panels and heat pumps, promoting greener travel, implementing waste recycling and a sustainable procurement program, and running competitions like Green Impact and Student Switch Off to increase awareness and participation. The goal is to cut carbon emissions 43% by 2020 from a 2005 baseline.
The document provides an overview and summary of key changes in California's 2008 Building Energy Efficiency Standards, also known as Title 24, for both residential and nonresidential buildings. Some major changes include new requirements for lighting controls, occupancy sensors in certain areas, reduced lighting power limits, demand response controls, outdoor lighting changes, and sign lighting changes. The standards are aimed at reducing energy usage and demand through mandating minimum lighting automation, maximum allowed wattage, and incentives for exceeding requirements. Key definitions, lighting control product standards, and indoor and outdoor lighting control requirements are also summarized.
The document introduces an automatic lighting control system from Sigma Power Tech Pvt. Ltd. that saves up to 60% of lighting electricity usage through occupancy sensing and daylight harvesting. It controls lighting and other loads wirelessly requiring no additional wiring. Applications include public bathrooms, private offices, conference rooms, and classrooms. Energy savings strategies include occupancy/vacancy sensing, personal dimming control, daylight harvesting, and HVAC integration to reduce energy consumption and costs.
This presentation introduces a new line of LED lighting products from LeeMak International Network Ltd. It highlights the key benefits of LED lights such as significant energy savings, long lifespan of 5 years, and slim design. Various LED product types are then shown, including industrial task lights, desk lights, cabin lights, bulkhead lights, panel lights, mine lamps, table lamps, garden lights, and street lamps. The street lamps provide energy savings of over 60% compared to traditional lamps and maintenance cost savings of over 80%. The modular design allows for replacement of parts on site.
The document proposes an energy efficient intelligent LED lighting system that uses sensors and wireless communication to automatically control LED light intensity based on user presence and surroundings. The system aims to maximize energy savings while maintaining user satisfaction. It uses sensors to detect movement and light levels, and can adjust the minimum light intensity setting over time based on feedback from users through a mobile app. An experiment showed the system can reduce total energy consumption by up to 21.9% compared to traditional lighting.
This document discusses lighting and control, covering benefits like providing the right amount of light where needed and reducing energy waste. It describes visual needs like adapting lighting for different space uses. Types of lighting control are examined, including occupancy sensors, dimming, and centralized/distributed controls. The document outlines selecting the appropriate control, including room surveys and layout. Commissioning of lighting control systems is also summarized.
Automatic lighting controls like occupancy sensors and daylight sensors can significantly reduce energy usage from lighting. Occupancy sensors use passive infrared, ultrasonic, or dual technologies to detect human presence and turn lights on or off. Ultrasonic sensors emit ultrasonic waves and detect changes in frequency to detect movement, working well in partitioned spaces. Dual sensors combine infrared and ultrasonic for higher reliability. Daylight sensors dim or switch off lights based on natural light levels. Lighting management systems allow more advanced control and settings by combining sensor technologies and scheduling. Proper sensor placement and orientation is important for coverage and avoiding nuisance switching. Occupancy sensors come in different styles and with additional features for various applications.
Automatic emergency lights are battery-powered lights that turn on automatically when the main power fails. They are commonly installed in buildings near stairs and areas with level changes to provide lighting during blackouts. They work using a light sensor called a light dependent resistor (LDR) that detects decreases in light intensity and completes a circuit to turn on an installed bulb. When light levels are sufficient again, the LDR increases resistance and turns the bulb off. These lights provide safety in power outage situations at low cost and without pollution.
This document presents an automatic street lighting system that uses a light dependent resistor (LDR) and transistor to switch street lights on and off automatically based on sunlight levels. The system aims to reduce power wastage and physical efforts by automatically turning lights on when sunlight decreases and off when sunlight is detected. Key components include an LDR, transistor, LED lights, and other basic electrical elements. Advantages are energy savings and safety, while limitations include power capacity and sensitivity to shadows. Future improvements could adapt the design for commercial use and higher voltages.
Automatic room light controller with bidirectional visitor counterNiladri Dutta
This document describes a student project to create an automatic room light controller with a bi-directional visitor counter. The project uses sensors to detect when people enter or exit a room and a microcontroller to count visitors and control the room lights accordingly. When the first person enters, the light turns on and the counter increments by one. When the last person exits, the light turns off and the counter resets to zero. The project aims to automatically control room lighting and count visitors to prevent wasted electricity in places like schools, offices, and homes. It discusses the components used, the circuit diagram, working principle, advantages like low cost and automatic operation, and potential applications.
This document provides a project report on an automatic room light controller with a bidirectional visitor counter. The report includes an abstract, introduction, list of components, schematic diagrams, hardware design and descriptions of the main components. The system uses an infrared sensor and microcontroller to sense when a person enters or exits a room and count the number of visitors. It controls a relay to turn the room light on or off depending on the visitor count. The report provides details of the circuit design and components used to realize this automatic light and visitor counting system.
This document discusses ways to reduce energy usage from lighting in buildings through green practices. It recommends using natural daylight whenever possible through proper window and skylight design. When artificial lights are needed, the right amount and type of lighting should be used based on the task. Different lighting technologies like LEDs and fluorescents are more efficient than incandescent bulbs. Automatic controls can further reduce energy by turning lights off when not needed or adjusting output based on daylight.
