CLTC and Adura will be developing a system that uses wireless communications to facilitate the potential for automated demand response, and reduce installation and commissioning time by as much as 50% over standard industry practice for competing technologies.

Lighting control systems already exist in the market that turn lights off when spaces are unoccupied, or when sufficient daylight is available. However, installing currently-available systems involves wiring and can therefore be an expensive proposition in already existing buildings. CLTC and Adura will be developing a system that uses wireless communications to circumvent this issue, thus increasing the pool of buildings that could cost-effectively benefit from lighting controls. It is estimated that a retrofit project utilizing this kind of technology could reduce office lighting as much as 25%.
