Intelligent Lighting Control System Advances Energy Conservation With 2-3 Year ROI. NEWARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LUMEnergi, a leader in energy-efficient lighting management solutions, announced today the availability of its comprehensive Lighting Management Control System (LMCS(TM)) for school buildings nationwide. LUMEnergi's solution significantly reduces energy consumption in schools, while providing and maintaining efficient and comfortable lighting throughout the building. Additionally, the LMCS solution cuts lighting costs by 50 to 70 percent to offer an unparalleled 2-3 year ROI, enabling schools to partake in efficient energy practices without sacrificing budget – a fundamental constraint for most U.S. school systems. LUMEnergi's LMCS solution enables school administrators to customize the lighting in each environment according to its particular needs: classrooms, auditoriums and hallways have very different lighting requirements. Intelligent data collecting sensors evaluate the environment to autonomously regulate the lights based on availability of natural daylight. Additionally, switches for manual overrides allow teachers to adjust for specific needs, such as using projection screens, and allow faculty members to regulate individual office lights to their personal preferences if desired. Occupancy sensors in the LMCS solution automatically dim lights when classrooms are empty to minimize daily consumption. This feature is also useful in hallways and other common areas such as restrooms, which remain unoccupied during most of the day, but would be unsafe to switch off altogether. With the LMCS controller, lights can be dimmed as the default setting and motion sensors adjust intensity as people go in and out.
