Lighting, energy and buildings, with the same method.

S4 designs and integrates lighting control, energy efficiency, smart parking, street lighting and building automation, with the same five-step method and open protocols such as DALI, KNX and BACnet.

Who it is for

Facility manager

A building that consumes according to its use and is operated from one point.

Contractor or developer

Compliance with RETILAP (Colombian lighting regulation) and support for certifications such as LEED or EDGE.

Sustainability manager

Measured data to decide and report.

Energy spent without anyone deciding it.

Lights on with nobody present, air conditioning at full load in an empty building, unmanaged parking, unregulated street lighting. Consumption nobody decided on, visible only when you measure.

You need it if you recognize any of these signs:

  • Only the total consumption on the bill is known.
  • Lighting and air conditioning do not respond to occupancy.
  • Each building system has its own console.
  • There are sustainability or certification goals with no baseline data.

How the system is built.

Open protocols: DALI and KNX for lighting, BACnet and Modbus for HVAC and energy. Each system can be renewed separately, without depending on a single manufacturer.

How we do it, step by step.

  1. Assessment

    Measurement and survey of the current state: consumption, luminaires, systems and protocols.

    DeliverableBaseline and assessment report

  2. Design

    Criteria, compared alternatives and a phased plan ordered by payback.

    DeliverableTechnical report and phased plan

  3. Integration

    Supply, installation and programming, phase by phase.

    DeliverableSystems installed and integrated

  4. Commissioning

    Testing, measurements and documentation.

    DeliverableTest and measurement report

  5. Operation and improvement

    Tracking of consumption against the baseline, and adjustments.

What stays in your hands.

  1. Baseline

    Measurement and survey of the current state.

  2. Technical report

    Criteria, alternatives and phased plan.

  3. Measurement report

    Levels and consumption measured after commissioning.

What people ask us most.

Why does S4 do lighting and energy if it is a security company?

Because they share a method and a platform: sensors, controllers, networks and integration in one building management system. We apply the same assessment, design and documentation.

Which lighting control protocols do you handle?

On-off, phase-cut, 0-10 V, DALI and KNX, depending on the existing installation and what you want to achieve.

Do you help with certifications such as LEED or EDGE?

We provide the lighting, control and metering design and technical documentation that those processes require. Your consultant manages the certification itself.

Can we start with one part of the building?

Yes. The plan is divided into phases, starting with the measures that have the most impact.
