by AF0204 i5 — February 8, 2010—Lumenergi, a leading provider of energy-efficient, networked lighting systems, is providing the core technology in an energy efficiency retrofit of two California federal buildings. The retrofit performed by a major fixture manufacturer was done as part of efforts by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) toward meeting their goals to increase energy savings, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve occupant productivity in government-owned workplaces, according to Lumenergi.
The buildings are the Phillip Burton Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse, at 450 Golden Gate Avenue in San Francisco and the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse, at 1301 Clay Street in Oakland. The buildings will be outfitted with Lumenergi’s advanced, energy-efficient lighting solution, utilizing the firm’s new generation dimming ballasts and networked control systems.
GSA launched a pilot program to identify proven clean energy solutions that could eventually be incorporated into federal buildings nationwide. The specifications were designed to ensure energy-efficient, high performance, dynamically responsive, intelligent buildings. Lumenergi solutions met GSA specifications, which included:
- Real-time monitoring and reporting
- Fine-tuning lighting levels with smooth dimming
- 2-way communication with individual addressability
- Standards-based, open architecture with BMS (building management system) integration
- Advance lighting control including integrated daylight harvesting, occupancy sensing, task tuning, scheduling and personal control
- Automated load shedding for demand response
