Reduced energy consumption through demand-based lighting at Atter Primary School in Osnabrück

The idea behind

Atter Primary School, Osnabrück

Every day, 152 pupils come and go at Atter Primary School in Osnabrück, along with teachers and parents. In everyday school life, it can easily happen that someone forgets to switch off the light when leaving a room or corridor. Not least with regard to the energy-saving requirements of the City of Osnabrück, it therefore makes sense to use a solution that ensures the light is only switched on when it is actually needed. This was taken into account from the very beginning when the school was built. The installed STEINEL sensors and sensor lights provide reliable, demand-based lighting control. The multisensors also monitor air quality and transmit the measured values to the building control system. This allows energy consumption and operating costs to be reduced compared with continuous lighting. At the same time, the multisensors provide additional data for demand-based control of the indoor climate.

"These days, nobody just switches off the light anymore. I plan with STEINEL because it works. I have no hassle with it, and that's nice."

Pioneering technology

True Presence Multisensor

True Presence KNX multisensors were installed in classrooms and the cafeteria. These sensors not only detect presence in the room, but also provide important air quality data to the control and instrumentation technology, since a central ventilation system is installed in the building. The technology of true presence detection prevents unwanted switching off during class work and unintentional switching on when air is moving, as it is temperature-independent.

True Presence

Wirelessly adjustable

hallway

Hallway sensors have been installed in the corridors of the primary school. The hallway is perfect for long corridors and hallways, as it has a radial detection range of 25 metres. Setting up, operating and connecting the sensors is easy and wireless via Bluetooth.

HF 360

HF 360 sensors were installed in the primary school's washrooms. The built-in high-frequency sensor technology ensures that the sensor detects even the smallest movement through glass, wood and lightweight walls, so that no one is at risk of being in the dark.

R series

Round. Demand-based lighting.

The R Series is used in the stairwells of the primary school. The 360° high-frequency sensor, invisibly integrated into the luminaire, ensures that the light is only switched on when it is needed and remains off when no one is present. In this way, the R Series combines a high level of comfort with demand-based lighting control and reduces energy consumption compared with continuous lighting.

STEINEL Connect App

Potential savings with added comfort.

All R-Series lights are conveniently started up and adjusted by the STEINEL Connect app. This not only greatly simplifies installation but also comes in useful if any adjustments need to be made at a later date. The app also allows the lights to be networked with each other.

Bluetooth Mesh – cutting-edge technology

The new Bluetooth Mesh technology opens up a whole new range of networking possibilities. The Bluetooth technology we use complies with the Bluetooth SIG standard.
