Abstract
A lighting control system is disclosed. The lighting control system includes detector units that communicates with portable RFID modules. Based on the identification and/or detected locations of RFID modules, the detector units control lights within a building. The lighting in further embodiments is a building security system, wherein lighting data, RFID history data and/or occupancy data is transmitted to the central security computer. The central security computer is configured to store lighting data, RFID history data and/or occupancy data, sound alarms and/or enable the operation of one or more remote building systems, such as locks, building doors, building cabinets and commuters.
