“Fundamentals of Lighting Control,” developed by The Watt Stopper in conjunction with the US Department of Energy’s Rebuild America Program, is available at no cost. Geared toward facility managers, property owners, and building tenants—those who may be new to lighting control—the 23-page guide details function, application, installation, and savings potential of a wide range of options. The Watt Stopper is a charter member of Rebuild America, which helps communities become more energy efficient and environmentally sound.
How lighting controls look, how they work, and how to best implement them are among the Guide’s topics. The guide states that “Understanding what your electric rate is and how your electricity costs are affected by demand charges is important to the decisions you’ll make about the right lighting control system. . . . The higher the electric rate, the greater the economic benefit.”
The five sections of the guide are: Introduction; Lighting Control Strategies & Products; Assessing Lighting Control Applications; Application Examples; References & Resources. Copies of the Guide are available from Rebuild America or The Watt Stopper free of charge.
