LearningObjectives
1. Identify new types of lighting controls that can reduce the cost and complexity of installation. 2. Provide guidance for selecting the right system for a given customer and application.3. Use a new publicly available tool to understand, evaluate, and compare different control systems4. Take advantage of assistance available from Con Edison to support the use Networked Lighting Controls.
At the end of the this course, participants will be able to:
This concludes The American Institute of Architects Continuing Education Systems Course

Barriers to Adoption• Poor past experiences• Unfamiliar with
technology• Too complex• Not standardized• High costs• Weak value proposition
The Good News• Technology is changing and improving…
FAST!
• Systems designed from the ground up to reduce complexity and cost
• Easier (and less costly) to install, commission, use than ever before
• New system capabilities that provide new value to customers
Three Technology Innovations that Reduce Cost and Complexity of Install
1. Integrated or “Embedded” Sensors and Controls2. Wireless 3. Apps or Software-based Tools to Configure the System
1. Integrated or Embedded Sensors
1. Integrated or Embedded Sensors✔ Pre-installed means you don’t have to install them
✔ Pre-configured for out-of-the-box functionality
✔ Fewer components
✔ Single Warranty
✔ No control wiring between components
✔ Eliminates task of figuring out where to place sensors
✘ May have higher equipment costs
✘ Limited choice of fixtures available
2. Wireless✔ Reduces or eliminates control wiring and
terminations
✔ More flexibility in how devices are connected and configured
✘ Distance limitations
✘ May experience interference with some systems in some applications

Auto-Grouping/Zoning
Pre-Installed, Pre-Wired, Compatible
Pre-Programmed, Out-of-the-box
Wireless / PoE
Simple Configuration w/ Auto-Commissioning
Limitations of the Past Possibilities of the Future
Another Trend: Integrated Power Meters
• Wireless Smart Sensor with built-in meter
• Wireless Fixture Controller with built-in meter
• LED Driver with built-in meter
Advanced Features that go beyond Lighting
Asset Tracking Space Utilization Indoor Positioning Diagnose and Report
Conference Room Scheduling Security Energy Tracking Integrate with
BMS/HVAC
Simple or Comprehensive depending on your Application
Simplified Systems
Comprehensive Systems
• Simpler/Easier to install and use
• Fewer features and capabilities
• More difficult to install and use
• Advanced features and capabilities
Characteristics
• Out-of-the-box functionality• No computer server, central gateway,
or cloud internet connection required• Simple commissioning by contractor• Does not require sophisticated
Facility Manager or 3rd party to manage system
• Basic control strategies (occupancy, daylight, high-end trim)
• Single room or building• More likely to be wireless• May have integrated sensors to
reduce complexity
• Customized by application• May require computer server or
cloud internet connection• Commissioning by or with support of
manufacturer or rep• Requires capable Facility Manager or
3rd party to manage system • Basic + Advanced control strategies
(scheduling, demand response)• Campus or Enterprise• Advanced Capabilities (energy
monitoring, remote diagnostics, shade controls, and more…)
Simplified Systems Comprehensive Systems
Both types available from most manufacturers
Simplified Systems Comprehensive Systems
Most major lighting controls manufacturers now offer both a Simplified Networked System and a
Comprehensive Networked System
Future systems can be simplified or comprehensive
Simplified System
Comprehensive System
The lines between simplified and comprehensive systems will become more blurred over time. We’ll see the categories converge so that a single system can be installed in a basic, simplified configuration, or optional components added to be an advanced, comprehensive system. This is good!

Con Edison
Reforming the Energy Vision (REV)
• REV is transforming New York State’s energy policy and how NYS and utilities work
• Energy Efficiency and Clean, locally produced power are at the core of the State’s policy– Achieve State energy goals by 2030
REV Ready Buildings“A digital world is a world where everything is connected, creating a vast ‘Internet of Things”
• Empowers buildings to better manage energy, achieve savings, and integrate new technologies through a common network platform. – Flexible structure supports evolving sensor mesh network
technology a.k.a. Networked Lighting Systems– Communicates and monitors with other building systems – Creates a digital, addressable, wireless cloud-based
system to scale up efficiency programs for customers – Improves comfort, security, productivity, and energy
efficiency goals
Market Potential
• Market for enhanced + integrated + networked systems• As forecasted by the US DOE, “of the total 5.1 Quads in annual energy savings by 2035, one third is
made possible by the penetration of connected-LED.”
Adoption of Networked Lighting Systems• Currently only <1% of buildings have mature SSL products installed• 2 out of 50 DMP project participants installed a 1st generation networked lighting system
Large Financial Institution Examples• Project A
– Total Project Savings 2,526,700 kWh; 240 kW reduction – Est. Annual Lighting Savings $454,801– Simple Payback: 7.65 years
• Project B– Total Project Savings 1,181,414 kWh; 93.3 kW reduction – Est. Annual Lighting Savings $212,655– Simple Payback: 3.8 years
“Similar to how VoIP disrupted telecom networks, (the) framework will disrupt facilities networks”
