EverLast Lighting Demonstration at UC Santa Barbara Illustrates the Importance of Utilizing Smart Sensor Controls
Summary
The demonstration team replaced 150w high pressure sodium canopy fixtures with 70w EverLast® bi-level induction garage luminaires equipped with Adura wireless daylighting systems.It showed an estimated 20% energy savings for daylight harvesting, 35% for vacancy/occupancy controls, and approximately 11% for individual dimming when compared to a system without controls.2 EverLast® induction luminaires have been installed at other University of California campuses, including Irvine, Davis, and San Francisco.This WIPAM demonstration was a collaboration between CLTC, PIER, EverLast® Lighting, Adura Technologies, and the University of California, Santa Barbara.It showed an estimated 20% energy savings for daylight harvesting, 35% for vacancy/occupancy controls, and approximately 11% for individual dimming when compared to a system without controls.2EverLast® induction luminaires have been installed at other University of California campuses, including Irvine, Davis, and San Francisco.For more information about other PIER demonstrations, visit www.pierpartnershipdemonstrations.com.1 http://cltc.ucdavis.edu/images/documents/case_studies/PIER_UCSB_WIPAM.pdf2 Galasiu, Anca D et al.
