This course will explore how we use wireless controls to reduce energy waste and how wireless controls can provide a stepping stone into the connected world of the Internet of Things and additional control of building systems. We will look at the history that has brought lighting and controls to the point that they are at today and discuss why wireless control is now being seen as a leading solution for the design of connected lighting applications and the ease of energy savings. We will cover the most commonly used wireless control technologies and the basics of how they work in order to understand proper application of cyber security and design. We will look at triggers in our controls application that may require Information Technology (I.T.) personnel involvement as well as what information I.T. may need to assist with addressing access and security concerns. Finally we will discuss the role that wireless connected lighting is playing in the Internet of Things with real world examples of how it is being used today to improve occupant comfort, egress, safety and welfare.
