As the commercial lighting industry continues its steady move toward more advanced controls and lighting solutions, for many experts, all signs point to networked lighting controls. And when it comes to truly intelligent, flexible lighting with non-energy benefits, the future could be luminaire level lighting controls (LLLCs). A subset of networked lighting controls, LLLCs include integrated sensors and controls in each fixture. The staff at BetterBricks, a commercial building resource from the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance, sat down with four lighting experts to discuss the future of the lighting industry, including: Chris Meek, associate professor of architecture, University of Washington; Shaun Darragh, senior lighting specialist, Lighting Design Lab; Damon Bosetti, technical manager, DesignLights Consortium (DLC); and Steve Mesh, principal, Lighting Education & Design. Here's what they had to say about LLLCs and the potential for cost savings with regional utility incentives.
