Webcor Concrete’s facility in Hayward, California, like many commercial office facilities, has a large open plan area occupied by a mix of project and administrative personnel. The occupancy pattern of the open plan area is very dynamic; several employees occupy this office for parts of the week, other employees work off-site during the day leaving many workspace areas vacant. The result of this employee occupancy pattern was that the lights in the open plan area were always on, burning kilowatts for unoccupied spaces. This application required a control system that could respond on a personal level to variations in occupancy and personal preference.
Innovative wireless technology enables the Adura Technologies™ lighting control system to create multiple zones within existing lighting circuits without any additional power wiring or control wiring. Adura’s wireless relay controllers were installed in each fixture, so that controls could be assigned to a single light fixture and/or a group of light fixtures. Personal wireless remotes were given to each cubicle occupant so that they could control their own overhead lighting.
