This report addresses the electrical usage contributed by streetlights in carparks that impacts the overall power consumption in Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT). The existing street lighting system in SIT is switched on to full lighting intensity from 7pm to 7am on a typical day. However, due to poor dimming controls, electrical energy is wasted.
The report also aims to propose a smart lighting system that uses advanced street lighting controls such as sensor and wireless technology. If the division of estate in Singapore Institute of Technology chooses to implement this adaptive lighting system, the street lights in SIT will be able to adjust their brightness according to the changing ambient conditions and activity levels. The benefits of implementing the proposed system and suggestions to tackle the current issues will be discussed.
A feasibility study was done by the team detailing the requirements and constraints considered in the design of the system, as well as a technical overview of the solution. Methods of research were involved to obtain information from existing solutions as well as a third-party interview to verify the feasibility of the proposed system. The primary research method includes conducting interviews with the staff of SIT. Secondary research methods involve obtaining statistics, articles and referring to reports of current implementations internationally.
