1. With flexible buildingsinto the future.
With motivated employees to higher
performance.
Modern Buildings must be Flexible
Well-being at the workplace has an
enormous influence on working per-
formance. Comfort is a combination
of everything the user is exposed to.
Good lighting, proper glare protec-
tion, pleasant temperatures and ade-
quate ventilation increase the capabi-
lity of staff to perform.
Complex construction projects are built from thousands of decisions. Let's start with the most important.

3.2. With intelligent automation to improved
energy balance.
As a result of rapid economic and
social changes, much greater flexibi-
lity is demanded from modern, pur-
pose-built buildings than was the
case in the past. When the site
remains the same, the primary requi-
rement is that rooms can be later
adapted to meet new needs. This
capability is one of the major advan-
tages of the LUXMATE system.
An intelligent room automation
system takes into account the diffe-
rent uses of the different rooms. It
controls the different subsystems -
such as lighting, blinds and indoor
climate - according to need and
tunes these to one another. However,
the room user is still able to interve-
ne manually at any time.
For example: daylight dependent con-
trol of artificial light, room tempera-
ture adjusted according to time-of-
day and presence/absence of
persons, and reduction of the load on
air conditioning plant through selec-
tive control of blinds and windows
contribute to improving the energy
balance.

Light Motivates
Light promotes good health and has a
positive influence on people's motiva-
tion. This knowledge from health and
behavioural research has also been
confirmed in the sector of ergono-
mics - the study of performance
potential and optimal working condi-
tions for human beings. Proper light
increases the "feel-good" factor and
work motivation, and therefore leads
to improved performance. The results
of ergonomic studies are increasingly
being applied to the world of work.
Room automation systems for opti-
mal light and room scenarios in offi-
ces and work rooms generate well-
being and motivation on the part of
the employees. Thus investments in
room automation systems are not
investments in the building, but
investments in the people.
Investment in light and room management is investment in people

For each different activity, the
Luxmate system enables a predefined
scene to be recalled "at the press of
a button". These preset scenes are
optimized for the room user by
means of the room automation
system. The incident daylight is used,
while avoiding disturbing factors
resulting from changing outdoor con-
ditions - e.g. dazzle by direct sunlight,
too much or insufficient light, effects
of fluctuating outdoor temperatures.
The greatest expenses in an office building are the personnel costs, which
amount to 80% of the total. (In comparison, the costs for the room automation
system can be measured in tenths of one percent.) The creation of optimal
working conditions is a contribution to increased performance and maintaining
the health of the employees - and therefore contributes towards lowering per-
sonnel costs.

HUMAN
BUILDING ENVIRONME
LRA
Using special algorithms to process
the data on outdoor light conditions
provided by the external daylight
sensor, the LRA calculates the best
possible settings for the automated
subsystems. In this way, luminaires,
blinds or windows can be controlled
individually or in groups, building-
wide, in accordance with the environ-
mental conditions.
The Building is Aware, the Room Provides Support
LUXMATE LRA starts at the contact points between humanbeing, building and environment.LUXMATE LRA recognizes influences, is aware of usage circumstances, and uses this knowledge to create cross-sub-system, room-specific situations.

Building services technology is in the
throes of revolutionary change. Up to
now, the different subsystems within
the building services management
system were regarded as separate
systems.
In fast jedem Raum treffen verschie-
dene Gewerke mit unterschiedlichen
Funktionen aufeinander.
Dank dem objektorientierten und klar
strukturierten Datenaufbau des
LUXMATE-Systems können die Gewerke
mit dem LRA einfach in Beziehung
gebracht und nach Art der Raum-
nutzung automatisiert werden.
Der Benutzer kann durch einfaches
Auswählen einer Stimmung an einem
Bediengerät sein Arbeitsumfeld opti-
mal gestalten. Die Gewerke passen
sich dabei im Hintergrund automa-
tisch an.
As an example, the current daylight
situation is queried from a single LM-
TLM external daylight sensor. Depen-
ding on the level of daylight in the
room, the LRA algorithms calculate
the brightness of the artificial light
and the angle of the blind slats,
taking into account their mutual
interaction.
The central entity under considerati-
on is the specific room in the buil-
ding. We therefore speak of room
automation.
LUXMATE Room Automation in Practice
Room automation is one component
of technical facility management. As
a result of its automation capability
and provision of information, the LRA
makes the connection to commercial
management. The technical processes
in the building are recorded by the
LRA and passed on to higher-level
systems.
Object oriented, clear data structures enable the simple, integralcontrol of different subsystems.

For Rooms and Buildings with „IQ“
1.Comfort is a combination of ever-
ything the human being is exposed to.
Artificial light, daylight and indoor
climate adjusted to the needs of the
user are the determining factors.
Cross-subsystem room automation is
defined according to the kind of room
and the way it is used. For example, if
the "Monitor" scene is recalled in an
office while the outdoor light situati-
on is constantly changing, the arti-
ficial light in the room is dimmed
according to the amount of daylight
entering the room and the blinds are
adjusted so as to prevent any glare at
the computer workplace.
If the scene "Meeting" is recalled, the
subsystems are adjusted in accordan-
ce with defined required values and
immediately provide a bright and fri-
endly atmosphere despite fluctuati-
ons in the situation outdoors.
The room user can influence this sim-
ply and intuitively by pressing the
corresponding scene key. Moreover,
the room user can intervene in the
automation process at any time, for
example by dimming the lights or
adjusting the room temperature.
LUXMATE LRA and its ergonomic aspects
16
Facilities can be expanded through
additional LRA-1500(x)s , which can
then be connected together by a
common network. Data and informati-
on relevant for the facility are
exchanged flexibly, over a server,
between the LRA-1500(x) and the
application programs installed on the
office network.
2.If new LUMATE outputs need to be
automated when the facility is expan-
ded at a later date, these can be inte-
grated without difficulty on the LRA-
1500(x). Up to 500 LUXMATE outputs
can be automated on each of the
three field buses.
If reorganization of the rooms gene-
rates the need for re-addressing and
a new daylight dependent control of
the subsystems, these data are
accepted automatically by the LRA-
1500(x). Time entries can be adapted
directly at the LRA-1500(x).
LUXMATE LRA and itscontribution to conser-ving assets
3.The daylight dependent control of
artificial light enables energy costs to
be reduced by up to 60% compared
with a conventional lighting facility.
Freely definable and mutually tuned
time control of artificial light, windo-
ws, room temperature and blinds also
contributes to an optimized energy
use in the room and in the building as
a whole.
One cost benefit of an LRA room
automation system lies in the fact
that only one external daylight sen-
sor is necessary to provide the input
reference variables for the daylight
dependent control of the subsystems
in a facility. These reference varia-
bles are processed through the diffe-
rent algorithms of the LRA-1500(x),
subsystem-specifically, for daylight
dependent control of the artificial
light and the blinds.
Further benefits derived from the
LRA are the significantly lower plan-
ning, installation and maintenance
costs in comparison to those of
locally automated systems.
LUXMATE LRA and its effect on the energy balance
17
LRA-1500(x)
Blinds on buildings are divided accor-
ding to directional groups or facades.
Blinds on such facades are controlled
depending on the measured values of
daylight, the horizontal angle of the
sun (alpha) and the elevation of the
sun (gamma). The control function is
active only while the sun is actually
shining on the directional group.
The daylight algorithms of the
LRA-1500(x) are responsible for con-
trolling the artificial light depending
on the amount of daylight entering the
room. In performing this task, the arti-
ficial light from every individual lumi-
naire is compensated according to the
daylight by means of a control charac-
teristic curve adapted to the situation
in the room. Offset points are used to
adapt the control characteristic curve
to the light needs of the room user
with regard to the time-of-day and
season of the year, and dependent on
brightness. The measured values arri-
ving from the external daylight sensor
are differentiated by the daylight
algorithm between diffuse and direct
daylight. This makes it possible to cal-
culate daylight trends and the speed
at which daylight is changing.
If blinds are used in rooms subject to
daylight dependent control, account is
taken of the influence of the blind
position on the light conditions in the
room. In addition to the characteristic
curve for daylight control, an additio-
nal characteristic curve is used for the
reaction of the artificial light to the
influence of the blind.

Blinds management onthe LRA
LRA Software Programs in Detail
Time management using the LRA-
1500(x) enables time-dependent
actions to be performed, for example
the recall of scenes or the adjustment
of blinds. The moment at which the
action is performed can either be
defined absolutely or be linked to
particular states, for example scene,
setpoint values of LUXMATE outputs
such as room temperature or outdoor
brightness, or vacation, weekday,
date, etc. Time management is enab-
led automatically with orders of at
least 100 LRA-RMA licences.
Time management
The emergency light software of the LRA-
1500(x) supports the emergency light
functionality of LUXMATE devices (indivi-
dual batteries), emergency lighting facili-
ties with central batteries, and group bat-
teries. By means of the Windows
emergency lighting graphical user inter-
face LMW-ELM, which can also be instal-
led as a client directly on the LRA-
1500(x), the emergency lighting facility
can be visualized and errors and diverse
stati can be displayed. Tests of the emer-
gency lighting facility can be recorded as
hard copy over a printer.
The emergency light management service
provider on the LRA-1500(x) processes all
connected LUXMATE Emergencyoutputs
in accordance with the LRA-ELM licence.
Emergency light management
Planning notes
A maximum of 10 clients can be
installed directly on the LRA-1500(x).
Clients are the graphical user interfa-
ce (GO), room management (iSKIN),
emergency light visualization (LMW-
ELM), etc.
The configuration software LMW-ZM
and LMW-JM also counts as a client.
Interface COM 1 is to be reserved for
Field Bus 1, Com 2 for Field Bus 2,
COM 3 for Field Bus 3 and, depending
on the topology, COM 4 for the back-
bone bus or BMS or for the connec-
tion to the emergency light system.
If the external daylight sensor LM-
TLM is connected to a field bus the
bus line from the LM-TLM to the LRA-
1500(x) must be laid separately.
A bus coupler LM-BK and a bus power
supply LM-BV (LM-BVS35) must be
present on the backbone bus. 18
The provider Dynamic Light enables
dynamic light situations to be crea-
ted. Time controlled dimming values
are transmitted to luminaires in
accordance with curve entries in rela-
tive or absolute lists. This dynamizati-
on of artificial light can be applied
selectively to all the luminaires in the
room, to individual groups, or to
single luminaires.
Dynamic light
The burning hours software records
the percentage burning hours, the
total burning hours and the energy
consumption of each luminaire. The
energy consumption of the luminaire
is calculated from the wattages of the
lamps and the number of ballasts.
Over the building management
system (BMS) interface, the values
obtained for energy consumption,
burning hours and percentage bur-
ning hours can be made available to
an outside system for further proces-
sing. Burning hours and percentage
burning hours are displayed on the
LUXMATE graphical user interface
GO.
The burning hours management servi-
ce provider on the LRA-1500(x) pro-
cesses all LUXMATE light outputs in
accordance with the LRA-RMA licen-
ce.
Burning hours management
The LRA-1500(x) climate management
exchanges data between the air-condi-
tioning devices LM-Kxx connected to
the field buses and/or the external ser-
ver or with the outside system over the
BMS interface. These data can include
actual room temperatures, heating sur-
face temperatures, valve settings, etc.,
together with information about the
current control status, e.g. lowered
night-time temperature, etc.
Indoor climate management
The superroom software enables
rooms to be defined as superrooms.
Switching, relative setting and absolu-
te setting instructions within the
superrooms are transmitted to other
rooms. These rooms are entered in a
list of "subrooms" associated with the
corresponding superroom.
Superroom
The BMS interface enables the
LUXMATE facility to exchange data
with an outside system. The LRA-
1500(x) is connected to the outside
system over the RS-232 interface.
Data exchange is also possible using
TCP/IP. On the basis of specific
instructions from the outside system
to the BMS, the outside system recei-
ves in return messages concerning
the current scene in a room, values of
manipulated variables and energy
consumption of luminaires, tempera-
ture values, etc., for further proces-
sing. In addition, outside systems can
recall scenes in any LUXMATE rooms,
can dim luminaires, adjust the blinds
and also open or close windows. The
information is transmitted in ASCII
plain text.
Building managementsystem (BMS)
The ON/OFF slide switch on the
LM-PCSIR must be set to OFF. The
operating system Windows NT 4.0 is
very stable, but if it should crash it
restarts automatically.
The LRA-1500(x) is supplied with
power over the mains cable plugged
into the LM-PCSIR (Field Bus 1).
In LUXMATE facilities with several
LRA-1500(x)s a monitor must be
installed for service purposes. An
electronic switch-box must be used to
switch the monitor between the indi-
vidual LRA-1500(x)s. Switch-box
cables must be ordered according to
the number of LRA-1500(x)s.
If remote maintenance of facilities
with several networked LRA-1500(x)s
will be performed over a telephone
line, a full version of the software
PCAnyWhere must be installed on
this LRA-1500(x).
The 4-port hub is used for networking
LRA-1500(x)s or for use with an
external server. If the 4-port hub is
not sufficient, a suitable hub for the
specific project must be provided.
The LUXMATE project department
must be consulted if more than 6
LRAs and one server are networked
to an LM-LAN.19

Commissioning
We will be happy to commission your
LUXMATE facility for you. Once the
installation has been accepted, we per-
form the commissioning of the LUXMA-
TE facility quickly and professionally in
accordance with the planning documen-
tation at hand.
Configuration of the automation
LUXMATE is glad to make available its
many years of experience, especially in
the daylight dependent automation of
lighting and blinds for a wide variety of
different room types. Application speci-
fic knowledge is particularly necessary in
connection with the high specifications
of cross-subsystem automation. The ser-
vices offered can be adapted to the
scope of the technical equipment instal-
led in the LUXMATE facility and to the
complexity of the automation systems.
Maintenance/remote /monitoring
We also offer a regular function and
safety inspection of your LUXMATE facili-
ty after it has been sold, delivered and
accepted. The scope of the service and
the duration of the maintenance are
adapted individually to your needs.
Project coordination
In just those construction projects
where the LUXMATE system is linked to
and integrated in the building services
system, the technical coordination bet-
ween the different manufacturers is
frequently complicated and therefore
needs professional project coordination
and monitoring. With this service we
provide you with competent coordinati-
on and support during all those phases
of the construction project in which
LUXMATE is involved.

For Small Office Buildings witha Great Future
1.From an ergonomic point of view it is
desirable to control daylight in such a
way that the attentiveness of the
staff in the office is improved and the
mental stress people have to endure
is reduced to a minimum. In this con-
text, the way in which the daylight
entering the room is dealt with plays
a decisive role – because this light
constantly changes with the time of
day, with the season of the year and
with the state of the sky. The employ-
ees are provided with an optimal light
situation appropriate to the work
being performed in the office.
When motivation andperformance count
26
The rational exploitation of natural
daylight and compensation of the
artificial lighting enables a balanced
brightness level to be achieved in the
room. As a result, the eyes no longer
have to adapt continuously to diffe-
rent levels of brightness – leading to
corresponding improvements in
visual perception and well-being.
Daylight dependent control of glare
protection in the area of the workpla-
ce prevents the field of vision from
becoming too bright. This prevents
the early onset of eye fatigue and
increases performance as a result.
Natural daylight helps the human eye
to register colour, contrast and
detail. The daylight fraction in the
necessary illumination level and the
improved visual power it generates
leads to a considerable improvement
in the quality and quantity of the
work performed.
Disturbing stimuli in the work envi-
ronment, such as objects that give
out too much light, glare, reflections,
etc., are minimized when the daylight
is dealt with optimally and the artifi-
cial light is optimally controlled.
It has been proved that optimal light
conditions improve performance atti-
tude and performance capability and
lead to higher productivity in terms
both of quality and of quantity.

2.Work depends more than other activi-
ties upon the active, aware and pur-
poseful processing of information.
The proper use of natural daylight
supports the specific, work related
visual tasks and perceptions. The
resulting improvement in information
processing leads to increased safety
and improved quality in the corre-
sponding work environment. A requi-
rement for this is the alignment of
the effects of natural and artificial
light on the visual task of the respec-
tive work situation.
When safety pays off
For an Optimal Work Environment inSmall Business and Industrial Buildings
Blinds on buildings are divided accor-
ding to directional groups or facades.
Blinds on such facades are controlled
depending on the measured values of
daylight, the horizontal angle of the
sun (alpha) and the elevation of the
sun (gamma). The control function is
active only while the sun is actually
shining on the directional group.
The daylight algorithms of the LRA-
150Sare responsible for controlling
the artificial light depending on the
amount of daylight entering the
room. In performing this task, the
artificial light from every individual
luminaire is compensated according
to the daylight by means of a control
characteristic curve adapted to the
situation in the room. Offset points
are used to adapt the control charac-
teristic curve to the light needs of
the room user with regard to the
time-of-day and season of the year,
and dependent on brightness. The
measured values arriving from the
external daylight sensor are differen-
tiated by the daylight algorithm bet-
ween diffuse and direct daylight. This
makes it possible to calculate day-
light trends and the speed at which
daylight is changing.
If blinds are used in rooms subject to
daylight dependent control, account
is taken of the influence of the blind
position on the light conditions in the
room. In addition to the characteri-
stic curve for daylight control, an
additional characteristic curve is
used for the reaction of the artificial
light to the influence of the blind.

Blinds management onthe LRA LRA-150S
LRA Software Programs in Detail
Time management using the LRA-
150S enables time-dependent actions
to be performed, for example the
recall of scenes or the adjustment of
blinds. The moment at which the
action is performed can either be
defined absolutely or be linked to par-
ticular states, for example scene, set-
point values of LUXMATE outputs
such as room temperature or outdoor
brightness, or vacation, weekday,
date, etc. Time management is enab-
led automatically with orders of at
least 100 LRA-RMA licences.
Time management
Planning notes
The interface COM 1 is for Field Bus
1, COM 2 for remote maintenance,
LAN 1 for connecting up to 3 touch-
panels and LAN 2 for configuration
via laptop.
The ON/OFF slide switch on the LM-
PCSIR must be set to OFF. The opera-
ting system Windows NT 4.0 is very
stable, but if it does crash it restarts
automatically.
The power for the LRA.150S is sup-
plied via an external power supply;
remote control is implemented over a
telephone line with an external
modem (see Services LRA-150S).
