5 STEPS TO DAYLIGHTING SUCCESS

GOOD NEWS Daylight Harvesting is easily adapted to existing architecture and need not require an expensive overhaul.

Most buildings already include windows where natural light is present during normal business hours. Simply install new lighting with

sensors pre-placed within the luminaires and start taking advantage of nature's lighting bounty today.

CODE COMPLIANCE

Does your state require Daylight Harvesting today? Will it tomorrow?

States will be required to update their energy codes to meet or exceed the ASHRAE 90.1-2010 by October 2013

two output levels from 0 –35% and 50–75%.

In addition, ASHRAE 90.1-2010 lowers the allowable power density for commercial, educational, and institutional spaces, meaning that

the type of lighting installed must be energy efficient and inherently sustainable. Alera Lighting products fit this requirement with typical

efficiencies above 90%.

Alera meets the continuous dimming requirements with both the Philips and Lutron installed sensor solution options.
