Smart Lighting
Building occupants are often poorly served by buzzing fluorescent lights, dimly-lit areas, or glaring sun. Lighting has the power to affect mood, productivity, and energy consumption. Good lights can make a room cheerful and welcoming, and bad lights can make a room unbearable to work in.
Daylighting
Lighting a room is about more than just the electric lights, it's about using what's already here...
Light Shelves
Light can be 'harvested' and spread efficiently throughout a space. Light shelves do this without adding heating loads.
Dimmable Lights
Dimmable ballasts have been shown to use up to 50 percent less power per year than traditional ballasts...
Computer Control
The first building in Canada to install computer-controlled lighting, to allow control over personal working environments.
Occupancy
Occupancy in the IL Centre's office and group rooms can be seen in real-time thanks to the smart lighting system.
