Introduction
Ottoclick has recently showcased its expertise in delivering advanced, sustainable solutions through two significant projects at Chatrapati Sahu Ji Maharaj University in Kanpur. The successful completion of a sophisticated lighting automation project and the installation of a water-saving device, Ottoflow, demonstrate Ottoclick’s commitment to technological innovation and environmental sustainability.
Electric Light Automation
Project Overview
Ottoclick undertook the ambitious project of automating the lighting system across three major structures at the university: the Administrative Block, Smt Ramkumari Devi Guest House, and Rani Lakshmi Bai Auditorium. The project involved automating 720 lights, focusing on improving efficiency and sustainability.
Technological Achievements
The lighting automation project achieved remarkable technological milestones. Ottoclick’s solution resulted in an average energy consumption of merely 15 watts per light. This was further enhanced by optimizing the daily illumination duration, reducing it from the conventional 12 hours to an efficient 2 hours. Consequently, electricity consumption dropped dramatically from 130.6 units to an exceptionally low 21.6 units, showcasing a sixfold increase in efficiency compared to traditional lighting systems.
Environmental Impact
The significant reduction in energy consumption underscores Ottoclick’s dedication to sustainability. By minimizing electricity usage, the project contributes to lowering the university’s carbon footprint and promotes an eco-friendly approach to campus operations.
Water Conservation with Ottoflow
Project Overview
On July 26, 2022, Ottoclick installed its innovative water-saving device, Ottoflow, in the Health Science Department of Kanpur University. The installation aimed to address the water overflow issues faced by the university, providing a sustainable and efficient solution.
Technological Features
Ottoflow is designed to automatically control the flow of water from a motor to a tank. It turns off the motor when the tank is full and restarts it when the tank’s water level drops to 20%, effectively preventing overflow. Additionally, the device includes a low voltage protection system that safeguards the motor from potential damage by shutting it off when the voltage drops below a certain level.
Installation Process
The installation process for Ottoflow is straightforward and hassle-free. Skilled technicians identify the taps and showers that consume the most water and install the device on them. Ottoflow operates silently and efficiently, reducing water wastage without compromising water performance or quality.
Environmental and Financial Impact
Since its installation, Ottoflow has saved approximately 18,700 liters of water daily. This significant reduction in water wastage has led to lower water bills and a positive environmental impact. By conserving water, the device reduces the strain on local water sources, contributing to a healthier ecosystem.
Conclusion
Ottoclick’s projects at Kanpur University highlight the company’s dedication to sustainability and technological innovation. The lighting automation project and Ottoflow installation have significantly reduced energy and water consumption, respectively, promoting a more eco-friendly and responsible approach to university operations. These success stories serve as exemplary models for other organizations looking to invest in sustainable solutions and reduce their environmental impact.
