SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Sept. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
WattStopper's new relay panel retrofit solution enables high
performance control capabilities while eliminating costly
installation and wiring requirements for building owners and
property managers. Offering all the capabilities of the innovative
Digital Lighting Management (DLM) technology platform, which now
includes wireless building-to-building connectivity, the solution
also preserves existing infrastructure investments.
Building owners or property managers can build on the existing
foundation of legacy lighting relay panels from manufacturers such
as WattStopper, Horton Controls, and GE, leveraging existing line
voltage relays, power supplies, wiring, even low voltage switches
in many cases.
"We know that at least 75 percent of all commercial buildings in
the United States were built
before energy codes were strongly enforced," notes Charles Knuffke, VP of Systems, WattStopper.
"These represent significant energy efficiency opportunities, and
this solution provides a simple, flexible and scalable path to
bringing the legacy panel—indeed the entire building—into today's
high performance era."
Retrofit projects can focus on simple stand-alone relay panel
upgrades or tackle ambitious campus-wide panel network upgrades.
"With more than 30 years of experience in lighting controls,"
Knuffke observes, "WattStopper has a depth of application expertise
that erases uncertainty and offers a full slate of options to
facility managers."
Some of the available options include integrating analog or
specialty occupancy sensors, connecting remote panel networks or
outdoor lighting wirelessly, and native BACnet integration. Simply
by replacing outdated legacy panel intelligence with
future-friendly DLM intelligence, the panel becomes a platform for
improved building performance.
