The Future: All buildings are
destined to become smart
Every system upgrade or new
construction project is an
opportunity to instrument the built
environment

The Challenge: Viable

SMART LIGHTING: LEADING THE IOT
IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT

Lighting is most pervasive element in


the built environment
LEDs redefining lighting capabilities
and markets
Simple LEDs = wattage savings
Smart LEDs creating entirely new
markets and customer value
Profound implications across all
sectors of the lighting market from
innovators to specifiers to buyers

SMART LIGHTING
& ENERGY EFFICIENCY

The Business Case


SMART LIGHTING: IOT FOUNDATION

Integrating LEDs,
sensors, networking and
software transforms
lighting into a building/
operations platform
Control lighting
delivery for efficiency
or other goals
Gather and use data
SMART LIGHTING DELIVERS RANGE OF
BENEFITS ACROSS ENVIRONMENTS

Efficiency, Safety, Insight, Control Efficiency, Tracking, Revenue

Efficiency, Custom Profiles Efficiency, Comfort, Wellness


LIGHTING: ONLY IOT TECHNOLOGY
WITH COMPELLING BUSINESS CASE
Managing all efficiency variables
proven to maximize energy savings
Fully integrated, intelligent
systems deliver 50% greater
savings than plain LEDs alone
Savings accelerate project
payback and create business
case
Lighting-generated data provides
strategic value
LIGHTING SAVINGS DRIVERS:
SCHEDULING, PROFILES, & TASK TUNING
Program lighting settings to match facilitys needs
Time of day
Day of week
Time of year

Vary light levels by shift, if applicable


Align lighting settings to specific needs
Not every area requires the
same light levels and settings
Not every activity requires
same light levels and settings
LIGHTING ENERGY DATA:
EFFICIENCY, OPTIMIZATION
Use lighting data to analyze energy use, identify savings
opportunities, and optimize employee comfort and safety.

STUDY BACKGROUND
PG&E-sponsored in-depth project to
understand performance of networked,
intelligent LED lighting as foundation for
Advanced Lighting Controls programs
Project part of mandate to procure new
technologies that help power companies determine
which solutions will help them meet efficiency and
renewables targets

Tested Intelligent LED Lighting System in


44,800 square-foot section of Ace Hardware
distribution center
Replaced 100+ metal halide fixtures with 13K &
18K intelligent LED luminaires
METHODOLOGY
Tested a variety of usage scenarios across an
8-month test period and separated into six
different phases
Energy use LED lights all on (no controls)
Isolated individual controls measures
Dimming
Occupancy
Daylight harvesting
Aggregated engagement of all controls

Quantified wattage-driven and controls-driven


savings
STUDY FINDINGS
RESULT: 93% ENERGY SAVINGS
SMART LIGHTING

Reporting What-if Analysis

Scheduling Coordinated Control


KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
Having Sensor and Meter Data from Lighting
Eliminates Guesswork
Where is energy usage the highest?
When does it peak?
How does energy use change over time?
What paths are most frequently used?
How quickly are people and machinery moving
through a facility?
Where do customers and staff congregate and
for how long?
Is additional machinery or capital equipment
needed?
Why is energy use dramatically different for
similar facilities?
Consolidate merchandise placement in high-traffic
1
spaces based on data about actual movement of customers,
personnel, and equipment over time

Identify opportunities to save energy through load


2
balancing or the scheduling of energy-intensive activities
during lower kWh-cost periods

Optimize production and maintenance schedules by


3 tracking machinery utilization rates through lighting and
occupancy data
Identify operational anomalies, such as energy spikes or
4 unusual occupancy events over time, enabling corrective
measures
Decide whether or not to modify staffing schedules or

INTELLIGENT LIGHTING
New Capabilities,
New Customers,
New Opportunities,
New Challenges
IMPLICATIONS
With widespread deployment of lighting and
other IoT technologies:
Objects across the environment are now
endpoints in the network
New data streams create new
opportunities and requirements
New systems expose organizational gaps
There are new participants in the
purchasing and deployment process
WHO BUYS LIGHTING?
THE HISTORICAL LIGHTING BUYERS
WITH SMART LIGHTING,
THE LIGHTING TEAM IS GROWING

New stakeholders IT may now be in the loop


New concerns Security, wireless protocols, data
standards, data exchange
New agendas and project goals
Re-lamping cycles are no longer the main
consideration
New challenges (light levels are the easy part)
New opportunities as lighting becomes a strategic
platform
NEW BUYERS, NEW QUESTIONS:
TOP 6 IOT/LIGHTING INQUIRIES

Wireless protocols -- coexistence/


conflict?
Remote connectivity?
Security considerations antivirus,
security patches, remote connections?
Maintenance and upgrades?
Support who manages what aspects
of the system?
Integration with other systems?
Direct
Data
KEY QUESTIONS THEY SHOULD ASK
What strategic opportunities can Smart Lighting offer
now and in the future?
What can lighting system data tell me about
my business, employees, customers,
or operations?
Do the system(s) integrate with:
Other business intelligence platforms?
Energy management infrastructure?
ERP systems?
Implications of implementing
solutions that are not IoT enabled? Lost
opportunities?
CHARTING A NEW COURSE

Across the lighting industry, we have the opportunity


to help our customers
Understand the new capabilities and opportunities presented
by smart lighting and the IoT
Expand evaluation criteria beyond light levels and re-lamping
schedules:
Additional potential value from networked lighting
Considerations for integrating
lighting data and systems with
BMS or EMS platforms
A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE
Differentiators (green, intelligent,
etc.) will become table stakes
As with Horseless Carriage,
Electric Lighting, and Motor
Cars, terminology we use today
will be obsolete
Green Building
Intelligent Lighting
Internet of Things
All buildings and the objects in
and around them including
lights will be
Smart
Connected
Efficient
And more
