Enhancing Building Performance

Abstract: Learn what Facebook and SAP already know. Get the Enhancing Building Performance white paper to learn how modern systems are increasing the standards for building performance across a range of dimensions. Plus learn how the lighting system can be a cost-effective platform for building performance enabling reduced costs, higher energy efficiency and enhanced productivity.

Redwood System Architecture White Paper

Abstract: This paper describes Redwood Systems’ building-performance lighting platform that: 1) powers and controls lights over a single low voltage wire or category cable, 2) includes a fine-grain sensor network that constantly gathers data about the facility, and 3) is built upon an open software platform that is able to provide bi-directional communication with building automation systems and other applications. This architectural approach is proven to save an average of 75% energy consumption from lighting, while providing information about how a facility is lit, heated and occupied.

Energy Savings Customer Analysis White Paper

Abstract: Over the course of many of its deployments, Redwood Systems has received approval to measure the energy savings performance of its lighting control system. Detailed in this white paper is a carpeted office space with a mix of open office cubicles, private offices, conference rooms, hallways, break-rooms, and reception areas. Redwood-enabled LED lighting realized significant energy savings over the modern, energy-efficient fluorescent lighting system in place before Redwood. This reduction also resulted in lower peak power usage, and reduced the energy necessary to cool the building.

The Advantages of LEDs for Commercial Applications White Paper

Abstract: This paper highlights the advantages of using LED lighting in the commercial space across several business and technical considerations such as efficiency, costs, maintenance and lighting quality.

How to Choose an LED Luminaire White Paper

Abstract: With a veritable explosion of LED options and offerings available across all lighting applications – indoors and outdoors, task and volumetric light, from bulbs to high-bays, the task of LED luminaire selection can be quite complex. This paper seeks to describe the various attributes for light emitting diode (LED) lighting, highlight certification and industry standards groups that are defining and creating third-party testing, and help the reader understand what to look for in order to specify a SSL product for their commercial lighting needs.
