[H1] Helvar Senses – Environmental Sensing Solution

[H4] Helvar Senses brings environmental sensing capabilities to your lighting control system, allowing you to track, monitor and act on a diverse range of data.

[H4] Benefits of Helvar Senses

[H4] Close the energy performance gap

[H5] Minimise energy waste in the operational phase of your projects. By combining indoor environmental data, such as HVAC and occupancy, you can gain a unique view into the performance of your spaces and optimise them based on their actual usage.

[H4] Design spaces for people

[H5] Whether you’re creating spaces for employees in a workplace, students at schools or patients at a hospital— proper environmental conditions are critical in supporting health, wellbeing and productivity.

[H4] Stay on top of directives

[H5] Legislation such as the European Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) & the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) already require reporting in areas such as environmental impact and employee health & safety, and they are just the tip of the iceberg.

[H4] Reach credits for building certification

[H5] To date, 31 criteria across WELL, LEED & BREEAM can be impacted by a Helvar solution with environmental sensing. Building certifications are an increasingly popular choice for boosting real estate value and attracting tenants.

[H4] Helvar Senses can measure…

[H4] Light

[H5] Light is essential for life and enhances wellbeing, productivity and safety; make sure your spaces have enough!

[H4] Occupancy

[H5] Understand exactly how your spaces are being used and minimise unnecessary energy waste.

[H4] CO2

[H5] Measuring CO2 levels is vital for understanding air quality. Values over 1000 ppm can decrease mental capacity and cause drowsiness!

[H4] VOCs

[H5] Protect your air quality from Volatile Organic Compounds, which can emerge from everyday objects and lead to adverse health effects.

[H4]

[H4] Temperature

[H5] Use temperature data to identify problems with HVAC systems or building insulation, maintaining a comfortable and efficient working environment.

[H4] Humidity

[H5] Too humid or too dry conditions can make a big impact on comfort. Get the right balance for the perfect climate in your spaces.

[H4] Sound

[H5] Use sound data to better understand your spaces and create special zones for concentration, collaboration and rest.

[H4]

[H4] Air pressure

[H5] Get optimal air flow through your building by maintaining the right pressure. Fresh air in, stale air out.

[H4] ...and more

[H5] Helvar Senses will learn, grow and evolve alongside your building, bringing you even more benefits over time.

3

Wireless connectivity and Extension Sensors​​ for enhanced flexibility​​

[H4] More info

[H5] Gain a detailed understanding of space conditions using the densest sensor network in your building, reducing cost and complexity.

Environmental sensing is a natural complement to lighting control, as our sensors, which are already installed in buildings, typically form the densest sensor network.
Adding environmental sensors offers comprehensive insights into various space conditions, such as climate, air quality, and noise.
Our environmental sensors integrate multiple sensing technologies into a single product, reducing the need for numerous individual devices.
This results in lower capital expenditure (CapEx) for installation and reduced operational expenditure (OpEx) for maintenance, thereby enhancing future profitability.

[H4] More info

[H5] Close the energy performance gap and make more data-driven decisions​ with combined insights on different environmental conditions.

Minimise energy waste in the operational phase of your projects. By comparing environmental conditions with space utilisation, you can gain unique insights into the performance of your spaces, enabling optimisation based on actual usage.
This comparison data empowers decision-making, such as identifying and correcting vacant spaces that are unnecessarily heated, cooled, or ventilated.

[H4] More info

[H5] Achieve greater flexibility in both the design and tenanted phases of your project, futureproofing the building for any possible changes.

Wireless sensors reduce installation and maintenance time while enabling greater flexibility during the building design and tenanted phases.
Use wireless extension sensors for location flexibility and to expand the range of monitored spaces as the needs of the building and its occupants evolve over time.
