Intelligent Lighting – Platform for Smart City
Elevator Pitch
Lighting produces CO2 emissions and uses energy. Have you ever wondered why so many streetlights are fully lit in areas where this is not necessary? The next time you are sitting on an airplane at night, take a look outside, and watch the thousands of lamps that illuminate the streets, even when there is nobody around. Excessive and unnecessary lighting is an immense waste of money and energy. Additionally, it causes CO2 emissions and light pollution, which have been found to have a detrimental impact on human health and disrupt ecosystems and wildlife. Powering the 91 million streetlights in Europe alone costs 10 billion Euros annually. These CO2 emissions amount to 40 million tons, which is equivalent to 20 million cars annually. Our intelligent lighting solutions cut energy costs by up to 80%, lower maintenance costs by up to 50 % and reduce light pollution and CO2 emissions Today, 80% of Europeans live in cities. Despite the fact that the cities only occupy about 2% of land area, they consume 75% of resources and responsible for 80% of all CO2 emissions. In cities worldwide, an extensive lighting network is already in place. This existing infrastructure can easily be transformed into a wireless backbone for smart city applications, due to the easy plug & play solution that Tvilight solutions guarantee. This minimizes installation costs and maximizes utility for cities and citizens.
