One of the biggest challenges commercial offices face is wasted energy. Many buildings are over-lit—there’s more light than necessary for some workspaces. On top of that, unoccupied spaces are often needlessly lit. Not only does this cost money in wasted electricity, but it can actually reduce employee productivity.

You can give your clients better control over the entire building with some of the following solutions:

Centralized Control: This allows facility managers to conveniently manage both electric light and daylight right from their desktop. They can control, configure, monitor and report on the lighting for any space in the building to maximize energy efficiency, comfort and productivity.

Scheduling: The scheduling of lights and shades can improve energy savings and enhance the safety and security of employees by creating a safe pathway of light for employees exiting a building or automatically lowering shades during peak daylight periods.

Reporting & Trending: Building managers can monitor energy consumption and identify problems before they become critical. Reporting and trending capability allows them to monitor system activity, lighting energy usage and fluorescent lamp failures in order to maximize potential savings.

Demand Response & Load Shedding: Today’s building managers also want the ability to use load shedding to reduce energy consumption instantly when they receive notification from their local utility company. That lets them save energy, reduce electricity rates and even qualify for rebates from the utility company.

As you work with more building managers who are abandoning “piecemeal” solutions for a single point of control, we can help. Contact me and I’ll be happy to walk you through some of the great Lutron solutions that will give your clients the single point of control they want.
