• 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)

‒ Allows for follow-up and evaluation
