• 20% of all electricity consumption
‒ Up to 40% SMEs energy bill
‒ Up to 60% for logistics and warehouses
‒ Up to 70% for schools and public buildings
Switching towards more energy-efficient light bulbs reduces energy consumption
X You still consume energy (that gets more & more expensive)…
X Costly investment…
X Power cuts require operations to shut down…
“To offer companies daylight in such a way that they are able
- To switch-off their artificial lighting as long as possible…- Without external factors…- To generate monitored savings…- And a higher productivity…”
• ‘Passive’ daylight/skylight systems (e.g. light sheets) only capture “direct light” above a 30° degrees* sun position
‒ Rise to 30° degree angle takes approx. 1,5-2 hours to reach
• EcoNation’s solution: autonomous active daylight system based on a mirror which is continuously positioning itself to the brightest spot in the sky
‒ To capture low-lying sun and brightest spot on cloudy days
*Based on EcoNation R&D simulations

Warning! : Technology providers & customers have to make sure that a decrease in lighting
consumption is not offset by an increase in expenditures for external factors

• People are too busy on daily activities to manually switch on/off the lights
Control = optimal savings
‒ Artificial lights are automatically switched on/off
Monitored savings (online & real-time)
