This summer, the first building of the housing project "Merks Viesturdārzs" in the quiet center of Riga, the capital of Latvia, was commissioned. With ecology in mind, this truly modern and high-quality apartment building project is designed in accordance with Class A energy efficiency requirements.

And, just like many other high-class projects, “Merks Viesturdārzs” was equipped with high-class German manufacturer’s “Grasslin” devices. Presence sensors were installed in the common areas – corridors and staircases. Two models turned out to be best suited for the project: talis II P 360-8-1 flush-mounted presence detectors and talis II PS 360-8-1 surface mounted detectors.

talis II detectors for the project were supplied by SIA “PAWBOL Baltic” in cooperation with SIA “Baltijas Elektro Sabiedrība” and installed by SIA “Lanela Power Solutions”. Thanks to the “Grasslin” sensors, the residents of “Merks Viesturdārzs” will not overpay for the electricity that will be used in the common areas, because the lights will only turn on when there is not enough daylight and only when people are present.

We will be happy to help you choose the best solution from the talis II presence detectors’ range by “Grasslin” for your specific project. Call us +371 62006800 or send your questions or applications by e-mail [email protected].

And there are numerous ways to make it happen, from slight changes in your behavior to major improvements in your home or other building that you are responsible for. Major changes include purchasing modern energy-efficient appliances, upgrading your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system, insulating the building and such. Among simpler ways to save energy are:

• shutting down your computer when it’s not in use
• using modern energy-efficient light bulbs (LEDs, CFLs etc.)
• eliminating vampire power: unplug any electrical appliance that is not in use, because they still consume standby electrical power
• use a power strip to switch off all unneeded appliances in one click
• and, of course, turn off all the unnecessary lights!

This last part can be tiresome and look like you walking around the building, flipping switches and muttering under your breath “I’m not made of money!”. Luckily, there is modern tech that will do it for you and will not complain.

Enter talis II range of presence detectors by “Grasslin”. Whether you wish to control the light in a residential building, in a long corridor, classroom, meeting room, sports facility, big hall, or industrial building, talis II will have the solution. There are motion detectors with high frequency technology that can “see through walls”, thus covering a few small spaces at once, even when they’re divided by walls. The angle of detection for talis II devices is 360° so it’s easy to position them to get the best results. And don’t forget the model of a presence detector intended for long corridors – it “sees” for up to 40 meters of space! As a result, when using talis II range devices, lights go on only when there’s not enough natural light, and only when there is someone actually present. As soon as people leave the room, lights are off, and energy costs go down! It’s no longer necessary to turn the lights on and off manually which is in itself a very comfortable solution.
