Basic lighting control system • Occupancy/vacancy sensor • Photocell • Controllable ballasts
Advanced lighting controls system • Tuning • Scheduling • Dimming • Daylight harvesting • Occupancy /vacancy • Individual control • Demand Response
Landmark Square • Office of the Building (2000 sq/ft) • Showcase for new Tenants (TI) • Unique Design, each office different fixtures
Energy Benefits Using Advanced Lighting Controls These numbers demonstrate the results of a well designed lighting system that provides the right amount of light for the tasks being performed, only when that light is needed.

What is the Smart Grid and what does it have to do with you?
Moving Forward • Controls are King • So who will be leading the way for total building controls? • Why does there need to be so darn many classes? • How can you stay on top of rapidly evolving technology?
Summary of Commercial Opportunities • Advanced Lighting Controls • Automated Demand Response (ADR) • The Automated Building • The Smart Grid
