6.4.4 Enclosed Offices
As it is necessary to provide both occupancy control and daylight harvesting in each enclosed office
we can use the PLOS-CM-KNX sensor as it provides both functions. When this multi-sensor is
mounted on the ceiling in the middle of an enclosed office, the detection pattern of both daylight
sensor and occupancy sensor covers the whole room.
To enable the necessary manual operation, button panels would be installed adjacent to the entry
doorways. The requirements for basic enclosed offices only specifies that the manual control should
do switching, so the PIPE-KNX-2P two-button panel is sufficient. For the executive office where
additional scenes may be required a PIPE-KNX-4P four-button panel would be more appropriate.
6.4.5 Open Plan Offices
Networked KNX sensors may be used to provide saturation coverage of open plan areas.
Multifunction sensors measure the value of luminance in their field of view. This can be harnessed to
provide step-less dimming control; both to maintain a pre-determined light level and to capitalize on
the availability of natural light. Philips KNX LightMaster sensors support multiple functions allowing
presence detection and natural light level measurement from the one device.
6.4.6 Conference Rooms
Wall mounted button panels enable scenes to be selected to the operating state of the room ie
presentation, meeting etc. Third party KNX network interfaces can be incorporated to enable
inter-operability with audio-visual devices, while many AV systems also natively support the KNX
protocol. Multifunction Philips KNX LightMaster sensors are used to detect when rooms have been
vacant for a period of time.
6.4.7 Corridors
For the corridors, we need scheduler control, zone linking and occupancy control. Only occupancy
control requires a sensor to be added.
To ensure reliable operation, the complete corridor area must be monitored. Therefore multiple
sensors should be located at suitable intervals so that their sensing range overlaps.
6.4.8 Stairs
No lighting functions are selected for the stairs, so no components are required. However
regulations vary considerably from one jurisdiction to the next regarding how lighting should be
controlled in stairways. Local regulations of course must be strictly followed.
6.4.9 Toilets
User button panels shall be located adjacent to the entry door of each toilet, so the lighting can be
controlled manually.
