Lumenergi’s NetLight Solution Manages 7 Integrated Lighting Control Strategies

Lighting Controls | Adjust light levels as the sun shifts its position to maintain constant light outputDaylighting
Daylighting employs sensors and lighting control systems to adjust fluorescent lighting levels according to the availability of natural light during the course of the day. Potential Energy Savings: 35–45% in daylit areas.

 

Lighting Controls | The right amount of lighting based on tasks performedTask Tuning
Task Tuning allows lighting designers to control lighting according to task and working environments. The ability to implement this kind of work and task lighting control strategy can save considerable energy when implementing industry recognized IES recommended lighting levels or those levels specified by the lighting consultant or engineer. Potential Energy Savings: 15–25%.

 

Lighting Controls | Schedule appropriate lighting during the work day, work week, and throughout seasonsScheduling
Using advanced scheduling, the system can provide the appropriate lighting configuration for different parts of buildings during the work day, work week and through different seasons. Potential Energy Savings: 15–25%.

 

Lighting Controls | Lumen Maintenance for longer lifeLumen Maintenance
Lumen depreciation is the loss of light output as a fluorescent lamp ages. Lumen Maintenance controls solve this problem through reducing power in response to higher initial lamp lumens while increasing power as lamps age and phosphors degrade to maintain appropriate light levels. Designers are no longer forced to over design lighting to compensate for lumen depreciation. Potential Energy Savings: 7–10%.

 

Lighting Controls | Occupancy sensors to detect occupantsOccupancy Sensing
Lights are dimmed to the off state when the system detects that there are no longer occupants in a particular room or area. As building occupants move from location to location, the system dynamically responds to user-traffic patterns, providing the right-level of light where it’s needed and shutting off areas which are vacant. Potential Energy Savings:15–25%.

 

Lighting Controls | Personal control over the amount of light dimmingPersonal Control
Through individual software clients, web-based interfaces or IR remote controllers, the personal control capabilities of Lumenergi’s solution allows individuals to personalize the amount of dimming they prefer in their offices or work areas within globally-set system limits. Potential Energy Savings: Varies.

 

Lighting Controls | Load Shedding | Demand ResponseLoad Shedding/Demand Response
Load Shedding, sometimes termed Demand Side Management or Demand Response, allows lighting to be either adjusted discreetly; on a fixed schedule in response to building energy demands; or, dynamically in response to emergency signals or real time pricing signals to monitor, shed and report (sub meter) on the actual reductions implemented and their effect on building systems and consumption. Potential Energy Savings: Energy Rebates.
