Quantum™ total light management

Improves comfort and productivity while saving energy

“We designed our building to use 1.28 Watts per square foot of lighting power. With Quantum™, it’s only using 0.38 — that’s 70% less.” Glenn Hughes, Director of Construction for

The New York Times Company during design, installation,

and commissioning of The New York Times Building

The challenge:Optimize electric light and daylight to save energy and create a productive, comfortable, visual environment.

Most buildings today are over-lighted because

there is enough daylight in the space; or lights

are set to a higher level than appropriate for the

people inside; or spaces are lighted even though

they are unoccupied. This wastes energy, creates

discomfort, and reduces productivity.

The solution:Manage light with Quantum.

Quantum manages both electric light

and daylight, to not only save energy

and simplify operations but also improve

the comfort and productivity of the

people in your building.

The cost of waiting:A typical 50,000 sq. ft. commercial building spends about $45,000 each year on lighting energy. 1

Much of that money is wasted due to

ineffective light control. Through optimizing

electric light and daylight, Quantum can cut

those costs by 60% or more while greatly

improving the visual environment.

What does Quantum™ do?

Quantum prevents wasted lighting energy

by maximizing the effi cient use of light

in your building. Quantum automatically

dims or switches all electric lighting and

controls daylight using automated window

shades. Quantum manages, monitors,

and reports on all the lighting usage in your

building for optimal energy performance

and productivity while minimizing

maintenance and operating costs.

What are the benefi ts?

Building Operating Management, August 2008.

Increase productivity and comfortMakes occupants more productive

and comfortable with preferred light

levels and automated shade control

Save moneyLowers operating costs and peak

demand charges

re-confi gured without rewiring

Where is Quantum used?

• offi ce, education, healthcare, hospitality

and other buildings• for new construction or renovations

Save electricity and protect the environmentReduces greenhouse gases by

eliminating unnecessary energy use

More electricity is used for lighting than any other building system. Controlling your

lighting is usually the easiest and most visible

way to manage your energy costs while

enhancing your space.

Light control strategies such as tuning,

dimming, occupancy sensing, daylight

harvesting, scheduling, and automatic

shading reduce energy consumption which

conserves natural resources and lowers

the amount of CO2 released into the air.

Benefi ts of Quantum™ total light management

Lower operating and maintenance costs.• automatically turn off lights in vacant spaces• use only the amount of electric light needed• minimize electricity demand charges by lowering

light levels during peak periods• reduce lighting and HVAC loads by dimming

lights and automatically controlling shades• report lamp failures for optimal group re-lamping

Easily control and re-confi gure light sources. 2 Lighting and shading zones can be re-confi gured

without rewiring, making a space adaptable to high

churn rates. As the needs of a space change, wall

controls, occupancy sensors, and daylight sensors

can be reassigned to different fi xtures or groups

of fi xtures. Furthermore, the Quantum™ system

is expandable from small, stand-alone spaces,

to whole fl oors, to the whole building or campus.

Make your tenants or employees more productive with selectable preferred light levels for specifi c tasks. Since 90% of

information is received visually, having the right

light for the job is crucial. Research indicates that

people are 4% – 7% more productive working

in their preferred light level. 3 This equates to

10 – 17 extra work days per employee per year.

Furthermore, Quantum™ shade control eliminates

harsh sun glare and heat making employees more

productive and comfortable.

Hyperion™ solar-adaptive shading

What it does

Hyperion solar-adaptive shading automatically adjusts

window shades based on the sun’s position throughout

the day to effectively manage the daylight in your building,

reduce glare, and save energy.

The system operator inputs the desired sunlight penetration

distance into the building and the number of shade preset

positions. Then, Hyperion solar-adaptive shading automatically

calculates the angle of the sun and adjusts the shades

to maintain the preferred light penetration.

At night the shades are lowered to minimize light pollution

and provide a uniform appearance with precision alignment.

The system also provides the ability for the user to manually

override and adjust the shades to a custom level.

Before: The afternoon sun makes

it diffi cult to work productively due

to heat and glare in the space.

After: With Hyperion solar-adaptive

shading, the window shades automatically

close when the sun reaches a critical

angle – making the space more

comfortable by reducing glare and heat

while maintaining the view outside.

The benefi ts

• 10-30% reduction in solar heat gain1

• 3-29% reduction in heat loss1

• preserves external views• maximizes effective daylight• increases comfort and reduces glare• creates an aesthetically pleasing

exterior by perfectly aligning shades

Energy Studies, University of Pennsylvania,

Shade: Preset (Open 50%)The sun angle is higher so shades open to preset

position to maintain the customer desired sunlight

penetration, and to reduce glare.

Shade: OpenSun angle is at a point where glass refl ects a majority

of the heat, plus light penetration is limited to 2 – 3 ft.

into the building. Shades automatically open to allow

maximum use of effective daylight.

How it works

As the sun moves throughout the day, Hyperion™ solar-adaptive shading

automatically adjusts the shade position without the requirement

for a complex array of external sensors. The Lutron out-of-the-box

solution allows simple set up based on the building’s geographic

location and user specifi ed sunlight penetration.

Additionally, manual override – via simple keypads or handheld remote –

allows the user to adjust an individual window shade if required.

Compared to sensor based shading systems, the Lutron system

provides less movement and less distraction to occupants.

Shade: ClosedAt sunrise the light and heat penetrate the building

so the shades remain closed for comfort and energy

savings, while still having access to the view.

Control and monitor Allows you to control and monitor any space in your

building by area scene, area level, or individual zone.

Beyond light control to light management

The heart of the Quantum™ solution is Q-Admin—Quantum’s powerful software

that allows facility managers to manage their electric light and daylight for

maximum energy effi ciency, comfort, and productivity. From a central location,

a facility manager can not only control electric lights and shades but also

confi gure, monitor, analyze, and report on the light in an entire building.

Q-Admin™ software highlights

16 | Lutron

TimeclocksQ-Admin™ software includes two types of timeclocks, a time-of-day

clock (e.g. 8pm weeknights) and an astronomic clock (e.g. dawn or dusk),

which control the lights and shades on the Quantum™ network. Lights

can automatically be set to a preset level or turn on or off in certain

spaces based on the time of day; and shades can automatically raise

or lower in certain spaces at specifi c times.

Timeclocks

IntelliDemand™ load shed Allows facility managers to shed a percentage of the system’s lighting output

to reduce energy costs for their facility. This can result in lower electricity rates

or rebates from utility companies, who often request reductions in electricity

levels when peak load conditions threaten to cause a blackout. With Q-Admin™

software, simply set the percentage reduction in light level and instantly

load shed your entire facility or particular space from its current power level.
