Advanced Lighting Controls: Energy Savings, Productivity, Technology & Applications

Written for engineers, architects, lighting designers, electrical contractors, distributors, and building owners and managers, this important guide to advanced lighting controls will bring you up to speed on the latest trends, technologies, codes and design techniques which are shaping the selection and implementation of lighting control systems today. Advanced lighting controls are now mandated by the ASHRAE/IES 90.1-1999 energy standard (used as the basis for virtually all state energy codes in the U.S.), and are becoming the norm in new construction lighting installations. This comprehensive reference covers lighting controls planning and design, benefit assessment and code considerations, and the full spectrum of technologies currently available, including detailed case studies of successful applications.
