Diseño e implementación de un sistema de iluminación exterior programable, para la casona principal de la Escuela de Formación de Tecnólogos

Abstract

In the current work is the design and implementation of a new exterior lighting system, for the main house of Escuela de Formación de Tecnólogos (ESFOT) de la Escuela Politécnica Nacional that provides appropriate, safe, efficient lighting, which complies with the Norma Ecuatoriana de la Construcción (NEC-10). The main house of the ESFOT is a place frequented by students, teachers, administrative staff and service personnel from 7:00 to 21:00. The building had a system of outdoor lighting that does not accomplish the level of illumination (LUX) suitable for circulation areas and luminaires not suitable for use in outdoor areas, causing a bad lighting for pedestrian traffic. With DIALux evo software a computer tool, obtained real simulations of the calculations made before the implementation and through measurement devices such as the luxometer can verify these calculations. Compliance with the NEC-10 is intended to ensure that the implementation of the system has a useful life of at least 10 years. LED luminaires were installed because they consume between 80-90% less electricity, have a longer service life and are controlled by means of programmable digital timers and motion sensors to obtain greater energy efficiency.
