DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Two pioneers of their respective industries—Lutron Electronics, the inventors of lighting control, and SAGE Electrochromics, creator of the world’s first fully automated electronically tintable glass—have teamed up to offer a seamless approach to the problem of regulating indoor light and heat while reducing energy costs. The integration of Lutron lighting controls and motorized window treatments with SAGE electronically controlled tintable windows optimizes the use of daylight and electric light in offices and homes and enhances occupant comfort. That means increased productivity and comfort and lower energy bills—goals that rank high on any building owner’s list—as well as a “worry free” system integration for the architects and contractors involved. According to Helen Sanders, PhD, vice-president of technical business development at SAGE, specialists from the two companies will work together to commission the system. The new system combines SageGlass®, dynamic glass that tints on demand to modulate light, heat and glare, with Lutron’s portfolio of QS products, including the Quantum® total light management system, HomeWorks® QS total home control system and Sivoia® QS motorized shades. Lutron lighting control systems provide a total light management approach that links a variety of separate components, including EcoSystem® digitally-addressable LED drivers and fluorescent ballasts, wireless occupancy and daylight sensors, motorized window treatments and wireless Pico® keypads to create a single intelligent system capable of controlling everything from a room, to an entire building or a complete campus.
