Lighting is crucial to creating comfortable atmospheres conducive to effective working and learning. Just as important is understanding how your spaces are utilized and occupant preferences. Intelligent LED lighting (as part of the Internet of Things or “IoT”) can now connect the two to make better, more productive buildings a reality, all while cutting energy costs. Like any new technology though, connected lighting comes with new concerns and potential issues, such as increased complexity.
This paper provides a background on the IoT revolution, describes key components needed to implement an effective intelligent lighting system, and spotlights San Diego Community College District, who was awarded the APPA’s 2015 Sustainability Award, in part by implementing their ultra-efficient smart lighting system.
