Energy-saving air conditioner and illumination controller

Abstract

An energy-saving air conditioner and illumination controller is applied to an interior space to regulate the air conditioner fan and the illumination device in the space according to the detected interior temperature, brightness, and status of users in the space. Therefore, a manual operation for regulate temperature and brightness is avoided. Automatically powering off the air conditioner fan and the illumination device is also achieved while no one is in the interior space so that a prevention of energy waste is ensured. A simple installation of the energy-saving air conditioner and illumination controller can be applied to existing air conditioner and illumination equipment without complicated assembly and configuration.
