Hi Guy’s, Thank goodness some else is now talking about this issue. For at least 7 years I have spoken many times about the how often when I visit someone’s facility/office in the world, the sky is blue, the sun is shining and as you enter the building you look to see all the lights whether LED or not on at 100%. Its a criminal waste of energy and frankly reflects poorly on the business occupying the space in terms of the attention to detail. So whether I am a potential client, supplier or future employee or other stake holder to said occupying business, should I really be planning to do business or invest my future career with them, if they can’t even effectively control the blindingly obvious?
That’s why smart IoT lighting controls are important on so many levels!
