Examples of Use

Benefits of using Clipsal C-Bus

Energy Management

C-Bus utilises technologies such as occupancy detectors, ambient light sensors, temperature control and variable lighting levels to maximise the efficiency in commercial environments. It's not only good for business - it's good for the environment too.

User-Friendly

C-Bus is all about providing simplicity in the work place, from one touch control of lighting and audio visual equipment in the boardroom through to total building control from a central location. Unique requirements such as cleaners' rosters, public holidays and after hours activities are all taken into consideration providing a convenient, safe and comfortable environment for workers.

Flexibility

As your business evolves, so too can your C-Bus Control and Management system. Lighting groups can be reprogrammed at any time to accommodate changing needs, such as reallocation of floor space or extended trading hours. Central Control can be moved from one area to another and the system can be added to at any time to expand as your business grows. It makes sense to have a flexible business partner - and that means Clipsal C-Bus.

Integration

You need to ensure that your technologies are compatible if you want to be efficient in business. C-Bus provides a transparent platform for integration in the commercial environment including air conditioning, audio visual equipment, security and access control, lighting, irrigation systems, automatic doors, motorised blinds or shutters - you name it.
