Green Consumer

What will people do to contribute to energy conservation?

Green Consumer

Green Consumer

In recent years, when home prices were high, green homes were a tougher sell because builders

tended to charge a premium for them. But now that home prices

have dropped, green homes are more attractive, both

because the premium has been substantially reduced and because people are more

interested in saving money on energy costs over time.

WSJ, 2/12/09

The recovery plan devoted more than $100bn to making private

homes and government buildings more efficient,

developing wind and solar power and spending on public

Why Consumers Buy Green?

There are three primary reasons consumers purchase Green products:

► Save Money

► Social Benefits

► Contribute to the Global Environment

Financial Considerations

► Maintenance Expenses

► Extend Light Bulb Life

► Electricity Savings: Dimming

► Electricity Savings: Less Wasted Light

Born Green

► LiteTouch was Born Green

► Lighting Automation inherently reduces energy consumption vs. the toggle switch

► Lighting Control is the only automation sub-system that reduces, rather than consumes energy

Going Green with LiteTouchA Chronological View

► Integration► Automated Shade Control► Remote Access► HVAC Systems ► Occupancy Sensors

► Daylight Harvesting

► Control Latest in Energy Efficient Fixtures

► Green Building Legislation

► Dimming

► Master Off

► Timed Toggle

► Vacation Timers

► Astronomical Clock

► Conditional System Responses

Dimming

Features: ► Dimmable Fixtures include:

Incandescent, Halogen, etc.

► Limiting maximum light levels to 90% can save on labor and 10% in energy costs

► Fade rates to extend light bulb life

Application:► Salt Lake City, UT

LDS Temple

Master Off & Scene ControlFeatures:

► Master Off & Scene Control from a single button

Application:► Ensure lights are off

when not needed

► Avoid leaving lights on accidentally

“The most efficient lighting energy source is one that is turned off.” ----Lighting Industry Resource Council report to US Dept. of Energy

Timed Toggle

► Feature► Timed off toggle button► Switch lights or fans off after a specified

period of time

► Application► Commercial requirements; light never on

more than an hour► Residential Bathrooms

Vacation Timers

Features: ► Lighting automation while away or on

vacation► Simulate occupancy► Added security benefit

Applications: ► Second Homes► Late evenings

Astronomical Clock

Features:► Automatically activate exterior lights precisely at

sunset

► Sunrise / Sunsetcontrol even whenseasons change

Applications: ► Lights are only on

when needed

User Programming

Features & Applications:► Peak energy usage

► Powering off electronic devices► Outlets► Lamp modules (coming in 2009)

► System startup events► Leave lights off if power

comes back on at night

LiteTouch LED Control

► Voltage Controlled Dimming► Uses standard LiteTouch

dimmers

► 0-10 Volt DC► Uses LiteTouch 0-10v

module

► Serial RS232► Control through serial

protocols

Integration

Integration

Remote Access► Activate lighting or other subsystems

remotely without expending the energy to travel there

► For example, close the storm shutters or turn off heating and cooling

HVAC Thermostat► Change temperature settings automatically

from a any LiteTouch keypad (Master Off)

Occupancy Sensors► Lights left on is energy wasted

“If 100 million households were to control just one 60 watt bulb with one vacancy sensor, this would represent almost 500 million kilowatt hours of energy savings, about $50 million per year

and a reduction of almost a billion pounds of carbon dioxide.” --- Home Lighting Control Alliance

Integration

Automated Shades► Maximize Natural Light

► Use only the ElectricLight Actually Needed

► Reduce Solar Heat Gain

► Lower Cooling Costs

Daylight Harvesting Keypad

► Use the energy you need; harvest the rest from the sun.

► Makes the most use of sunlight

► Measures levels of available sunlight and adjusts electric light appropriately

“Effective use of daylight and aggressive use of lighting control technologies will be needed to significantly

reduce lighting energy use.” --- Lighting Industry Resource Council report to

US Dept. of Energy

Control LatestEnergy Efficient Lighting

Features:► Control or Dim the latest

in energy efficient lighting sources.

► LED► OLED► CFL► Fluorescent

Applications:► LiteTouch LED Control► Halo LED Downlight

“20% of all electricity produced in the US is used for lighting, but 50% of that is wasted by

inefficient lighting sources or careless consumers.”
