Control Systems and Ornamental Lighting. A Case Study: Illumination of the Facade of Santiago Hospital in Úbeda (Jaén)

We propose the analysis of the control systems associated with ornamental lighting applied to the architectural and monumental heritage from our teaching experience developed since 2017 at the University of Córdoba—Illumination Faculty of Philosophy of Córdoba, year 2017, and Center of Experimental Culture in the Plaza de la Corredera, year 2018—and the lighting project of the facade of the Hospital de Santiago de Úbeda, Jaén. The DMX system is the one which mostly fulfill the requirements of this kind of lighting. Its implementation is increasingly simple and is associated in many cases with the type of luminaire to be used and the particularity of differential wiring. This solution allows a personalized, creative, and dynamic control and the adaptation of the daily lighting to different events of singular character. It can be used as an instrument of economic revitalization of the tourist and commercial sectors, and of diffusion of the architectural and historical heritage values. The application of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data could allow the creation of a predictive model that helps the spectral design of light sources and an objective tool that contributes to the confluence of art and science

Analysis of Outdoor Lighting Control Systems Applied to the New Smart City Models

Lighting accounts for more than 19% of the world’s electricity consumption. Simply replacing existing lighting systems with other LED technology would reduce energy consumption by up to 40%, and if we also use lighting controls, the figure can reach 80%. The transition to efficient lighting technologies (LEDs) is economically one of the most realistic and simple energy efficiency initiatives. Control systems play an important role in the world of lighting. Wherever you have exterior lighting, there will be a need for control. The systems that have been used so far have precedents that date back more than 35 years and allow control and monitoring functions of groups of light points, i.e. not individually. One of the major drawbacks of these systems is that they do not have flexibility, since they do not allow the individualization of the point of light, and in addition the orders that can emit are of generic character and affect the group, obtaining a rather inaccurate information of the installation. Complete telemanagement systems are currently being developed to meet the needs of different application segments. Experience shows that it is necessary to work with open systems so that the lighting management system works and communicates with other systems such as air treatment, safety systems, etc. Intelligent lighting, in addition to its control and energy management functions, also contributes to reducing the excess of artificial light to which our cities are subject, making them more livable

Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Lighting

The lighting of both exteriors and interiors is a field within electrical and lighting engineering, where important technological changes have been taking place oriented towards environmental sustainability and energy efficiency. LED technology has been gradually gaining ground in the world of lighting over other technologies due to its high lighting and energy efficiency and savings. However, some problems related to overheating or associated regulation are emerging. This has prompted the search for new, more efficient, and sustainable forms of lighting. This book presents successful cases related to energy efficiency and lighting that may be of great interest to those trying to enter the world of scientific research

X Reality Networked Performance: Message Based Distributed Systems For Controlling And Presenting Multiple Realities

X reality networked performances connect physical, fictional and computer generated realities in a new world of performance, one that is without geographical bounds and that can include many physical locations—with their own performers and audience members— within a single event. They explore a unique medium while drawing on historical and contemporary performing arts practices that normally occur within the confines of a single physical location. Such performances present a special set of requirements on the system that supports them. They need to access and integrate all the systems that are typically found in the physical place of the performance (such as theatre lighting) with those that are unique to the medium, such as network technologies and environments for the delivery of computer generated realities. Yet, no suitable systems or frameworks have been developed to support them. Technologies are available (such as LoLA and UltraGrid) that support individual aspects—like audio/video streaming—but which do not address the wider requirements of controlling and synchronising, of integrating all these technologies into a system of systems for X reality networked performance. Therefore, this research investigates the creation of a systems framework whereby existing hardware and software components can be continuously integrated with bespoke components to provide a platform for the delivery of X reality networked performances. The methodological approach to this investigation is through the lens of the author’s previous experience in other fields of complex systems integration, including, approaches employed in the design and integration of avionics systems. Specifically, it tests if a systems integration approach to providing a technical platform for X reality networked performances, one that employs strongly‐defined interfaces and communication protocols, and that is based on open and industry standards, delivers an elegant platform that can be characterised as: deterministic, reliable, extendable, scalable, reconfigurable, testable and cost effective. iii The platform for X reality networked performance has been developed iteratively—using the results of a framework investigation—and tested in four different performance projects over a period of 24‐months, in ten different venues, across five countries. The research concludes that the enabling framework is well suited to the delivery of X reality networked performances. Also, that the approaches employed could equally be applied to the needs of other arts practitioners who rely on complex technical systems for the creation and delivery of their work
