Commercial Building Energy Usage
Lighting, heating and cooling account for nearly 75% of all electricity usage
Lighting also adds to HVAC load and most of lighting energy wasted
Heating and cooling still based on schedules and set points instead of occupancy
Opportunity for networked granular control to track occupancy and save energy

LEDs Highlight The Need For Control Systems
Very long life (50,000 hrs)
Lower maintenance cost
Small heat footprint
Cost dropping dramatically
Super efficient digital light
Dimmable and controllable
Cisco Connect, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, April 29-30, 2014
Fluorescent Lighting • Dimming efficacy poor and
worsens over dimming curve
• Requires dimming ballast
• Dimming shortens lamp life
• FL lifetime 7,000-50,000 hours
• Bulbs are hazardous material
LED Lighting • LED efficacy improves dramatically
when dimmed and no dimming
ballast required
• Dimming, on/off lengthens LED life
• Major LED suppliers are increasing
life estimates from 50,000 to
100,000 hours
• Redwood extends LED life to over
100K hours by running less than
100%, dimming, turning off
