Wireless Lighting Control + Energy Management Solutions | Adura Technologies
Case Study:
California Energy Commission
The Problem
Lighting accounts for about 35 percent of the electricity used in California’s commercial buildings. Digital lighting controls that allow daylight harvesting, occupancy control, and personal control (allowing individuals to adjust lighting in their own areas) could reduce that percent dramatically. However, retrofitting these systems into existing facilities is not often done because it is expensive and disruptive.
The Solution
An innovative wireless lighting-control, monitoring, and management system developed by Adura Technologies™ is easy to install, cost-effective, and can provide significant energy savings. It eliminates the costly and time-consuming installation of control wiring and can be easily installed by facilities personnel or contractors. The technology was originally developed at the Center for the Built Environment at the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) with funding from the California Energy Commission’s Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) Program. With venture capital funding, it has been developed by Adura® and is now being commercially marketed.
