Presentation Transcript

  1. PulseStar® Technologies and PulseSwitch Systemspresentation toAssociation of Energy Engineers June 23, 2011

  2. Agenda • Who We Are • Energy Saving Imperative • Fluorescent Lights vs HIDs vs LEDs • Photopic and Scotopic Footcandles • Energy Harvesting with Piezoelectric materials • LVDC – Emerging Market • PulseStar Products • Energy Saving Case Studies • Questions and Answers

  3. One of The Face® Companies Founded in Norfolk in 1867 Inventors of “F-Numbers” Face Floor Profile Numbers

  4. National Energy Saving Effort • Federal Tax Deductions - $.60 per sq ft for lighting • Require efficient lighting with bi-level controls • LEED level mandates • Many control options – Sophisticated computer controls, Automatic sensors, Manual controls • Many types of lamps

  5. HIDs vs Fluorescent vs LED • Truth vs Myth • Fact vs Perception

  6. Spectrally Enhanced Light • Concept developed by Dr. Berman • Adopted by DoE • Photopic readings not equivalent to Scotopic • Fluorescent light factor 1.69 • HPS factor .69 • Design to IESNA standard, understand SEL reality, use controls to achieve desired light levels in areas where you need it.

  7. Energy Harvesting • Energy derived from external sources • Many varieties • Renewable generation sources • Electromagnetic sensors • Piezoelectric Materials • Thunder/Lightning

  8. Low Voltage DC • NEMA sponsored symposium this year • Emerging market and demand • EMerge Alliance • DC Flex Zone • www.EMergeAlliance.com

  9. www.EMergeAlliance.com

  10. Our products: Batteryless/Wireless Controls High Efficiency Lighting Systems

  11. Lightning Switch Product Demonstrations

  12. PulseStar Lighting Systems Unique Multi-level Wireless Controls Save 45% to 83% Compared to MH & HPS Fixtures Feature 60,000 hr. T8 Lamps

  13. Targets High Bay Recreational Facilities - Hangars Equipment Maintenance Facilities Buildings Where MH & HPS Are Used & Where Floor Activities Are Non-Homogeneous

  14. Bishop Sullivan Catholic High School Gymnasium Light Retrofit • Replaced 400W Metal Halide with 4 Lamp T5 Linear Fluorescent • Lighting level controls on low provide better light than before • Zone controls enable additionally savings, for example leaving lights over the seats off during gym class • PulseStar Controls produced metered savings of 83%!

  15. Other Markets Parking Garages (With & Without Controls)

  16. Town Center Block IV Parking Garage Lighting Upgrade partially complete • Improved Safety by raising light levels • Highly efficient linear fluorescent lighting system saved electricity • Maintenance costs reduced with long life T8 lamps

  17. Joint Base Langley Eustis – Eustis PX Parking Lot Light Savings • Enable personnel to dim PX parking lot lights after hours during periods of inactivity; • Ensure safe lighting levels are provided during required hours; • Reduce electricity usage on those eight poles by 57%; and • More than pay for itself in 12 to 15 months of operation.

  18. U.S. Army Has Studied PulseStar Since Late 2009 Pilot Projects with Multiple Installations Funded & About to Begin

  19. Army Study Found: PulseStar Systems with Controls Cost 15% More PulseStar Systems with Controls Save 56% More

  20. Products Are Patented & Patents Pending Fixtures & Components Are UL Listed or Inherently Safe
