State Energy Commission Cites Adura Success at UCSB

A report by the California Energy Commission’s Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) Program shows how Adura Technologies is helping save 25 percent on lighting at a parking garage at University of California, Santa Barbara. The case study by PIER describes a project undertaken by Adura in partnership with eh California Lighting Technology Center to create a wireless integrated photosensor and motion sensor system for the second level of Lot 18 at the UCSB campus, where all lights in the facility burned 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Adura system used daylight and motion sensors in combination with lighting scheduling to reduce the cost of lighting. It noted that using a wireless approach circumvented the cost and disruption issues associated with installing hard-wired systems, “thus increasing the pool of buildings that could cost effectively benefit from lighting controls.” PIER added that the Adura system “is expected to reduce installation and commissioning time by as much as 50% over standard industry practice for competing technologies.” It added that it could reduce office lighting by as much as 25%.

Wireless Lighting Retrofit with Personal Controls Allows Energy Savings for Webcor Concrete

Because of dynamic use patterns, the lights in Webcor Concrete’s facility in Hayward, California, like many commercial office facilities, were always on, burning kilowatts for unoccupied spaces. Adura’s technology provided a solution based around sophisticated lighting circuitry and personal wireless controls.
