To improve understanding and possibly resolve the shortcomings of 0-10V products, the Department of Energy recently published the results of a study conducted by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). The study characterized 23 LED streetlights that claimed dimmability via a 0-10V interface, quantified the performance variation found in market-available LED drivers, and explored the potential impact of the most recent 0-10V voluntary standard, ANSI C137.1-2022.
RFP: Process Mapping for Networked Lighting Controls Projects
The DesignLights Consortium has released a request for proposals for a consultant to create process maps for commercial lighting project life-cycles.
DLC Study Documents Non-Energy Benefits of Networked Lighting Controls
The DLC recently published a summary of research conducted by Skumatz Economic Research Associates, Inc. (SERA), which identified non-energy benefits (NEBs) of networked lighting controls and developed a methodology for quantifying them.
PNNL Explores Patient Room Tunable Lighting from Patient’s Perspective
Despite the potential benefits and variety of conditions that tunable lighting systems can provide, research documenting occupant preference in healthcare settings is sparse. Recently, researchers at PNNL and Georgia Institute of Technology’s SimTigrate Design Lab partnered on a study of patient preference for tunable light.
Comparing Tunable LED Systems to Conventional Lighting in Senior Care Centers
In senior care centers, tunable LED lighting system retrofits can save energy, reduce operating costs, and improve quality of life for occupants when compared to outdated fluorescent systems that are still used in many facilities nationwide. A recent study suggests that LED tunable lighting system retrofits can offer energy savings and reduced costs, along with the possibility of improved quality of life for residents.
CABA Report Takes a Comprehensive Look at the Connected Home and AI
Smart home companies can help catalyze a growing opportunity by prioritizing data privacy, says a new report by CABA prepared by Harbor Research.
DesignLights Consortium Seeks Assistance for Study of Non-Energy Benefits of Networked Lighting Controls
As it seeks to quantify the non-energy benefits of networked lighting and advanced building controls, the DesignLights Consortium (DLC) is seeking the input of facility managers for a short online survey. Results of this research will yield monetized estimates useful for product marketing, efficiency program incentive promotion, and facility management decision making.
NBI Publication: Controlling Comfort and Energy in Offices
Two of the best investments building owners and corporate tenants can make to improve employee well-being and energy efficiency are automated shading systems and modern LED lighting with advanced wireless controls, says Controlling Comfort and Energy in Offices, a new publication by the New Buildings Institute.
DOE Study Examines Performance and Reliability of Sensors Used in Tunable Lighting Systems
The U.S. Department of Energy has released a report on the initial performance and reliability of chromaticity sensors used for tunable LED lighting systems.
California Energy Alliance Awarded Grant for Advanced Plug Load Research
The California Energy Alliance (CEA) recently announced that it has been awarded funding via the California Energy Commission (CEC) solicitation GFO-20-303 for applied R&D and technology demonstration projects that advance innovative technologies for controlling plug load and exterior lighting energy use.
