Industry Event: DLC Controls Summit
About: Everyone agrees that the potential to optimize savings by integrating lighting controls with other building systems is real, but getting alignment on how to do this is less clear. By convening different groups of professionals to discuss the possibilities and challenges, we can begin to solve the problem together.
Integration is the last step on a larger pathway to connected lighting. Energy efficiency programs are starting to incorporate more than simple LED replacements, including controls, LLLCs, and NLCs plus other building systems such as HVAC. The results from our most recent
potential study show clear value in integrating networked lighting controls (NLCs) with HVAC systems to save an additional 30% of HVAC energy in large buildings. Summit attendees will have opportunities to network and discuss how controls can be used to optimize savings in a variety of building types, share experiences with installing NLCs and integrating lighting controls with other building systems, and explore new DLC resources that will encourage more NLC installations.
