Lighting the Way to Demand Response
Researchers identified communications and lighting-control technologies as the two most critical areas for further study on the potential of lighting controls as a demand-response (DR) tool. They evaluated communications alternatives and concluded that the Internet is the best medium for a lighting DR program. They looked at controls alternatives and installed and tested three commercially available systems in an office building. All three of the installed systems worked well with four different DR scenarios, and significant energy and demand savings were measured.
