Advanced lighting control has become a popular lighting option in new construction and as a retrofit upgrade for existing buildings, providing a platform for integrating sophisticated energy management strategies such as smart time scheduling, occupancy sensing, demand response/load shedding, personal lighting control, daylighting control and task tuning. Beyond energy code compliance, it can generate energy savings of 50-75% while increasing worker job and environmental satisfaction, enabling participation in demand response or peak shaving programs, and help realizing sustainability goals.
