“We designed our building to use 1.28 watts per square foot of lighting power. With Quantum , it’s only using 0.38 — that’s 70% less.” The challenge: Optimize electric light and daylight to save energy and create a productive, comfortable, visual environment. Most buildings today are over-lighted because there is enough daylight in the space; or lights are set to a higher level than appropriate for the people inside; or spaces are lighted even though they are unoccupied. This wastes energy, creates discomfort, and reduces productivity. Glenn Hughes, Director of Construction for The New York...

Benefits of Quantum total light management ™ Save electricity and protect the environment Save money More electricity is used for lighting than any other building system. Controlling your lighting is usually the easiest and most visible way to manage your energy costs while enhancing your space. Lower operating and maintenance costs. • automatically turn off lights in vacant spaces • use only the amount of electric light needed • minimize electricity demand charges by lowering light levels during peak periods • reduce lighting and HVAC loads by dimming lights and automatically controlling...

Quantum energy savings and light control strategies ™ Architectural load dimming Allows the users to dim traditional light sources such as incandescent, halogen, low voltage, and LED. Fluorescent dimming Highly efficient dimming that allows the users to dim fluorescent light down to 1% of full light output. Scheduling Lights turn off or are dimmed and shades are adjusted automatically at certain times of the day or in relation to sunrise and sunset. Switching Allows the user to switch on or off all non-dimmed light sources using 1 million cycle relays. Daylight harvesting Automatically...

Hyperion solar-adaptive shading TM Hyperion is an available feature for QuantumTM that adjusts Sivoia QS shades throughout the day based on the sun's position. This provides effective daylighting while reducing solar heat and glare to maximize the comfort and productivity of building occupants. HyperionTM adjusts shades to accomodate for the position of the sun in the sky throughout the day and throughout the year. Precise shade adjustment schedules are developed by combining information gathered about the building with user-specified limits on sunlight penetration and amount of time...

Q-Admin software highlights Beyond light control to light management The heart of the QuantumTM solution is Q-Admin—Quantum's powerful software that allows facility managers to manage their electric light and daylight for maximum energy efficiency comfort, and productivity. From a central location, a facility manager can not only control electric lights and shades but also configure, monitor, analyze, and report on the light in an entire building. V Contra!

Q-Admin software highlights IntelliDemand M load shed Allows facility managers to shed a percentage of the system's lighting output to reduce energy costs for their facility. This can result in lower electricity rates or rebates from utility companies, who often request reductions in electricity levels when peak load conditions threaten to cause a blackout. With Q-AdminT„ software, simply set the percentage reduction in light level and instantly load shed your entire facility or particular space from its current power level. ^ C antrc-l h ^onrlDring _ Hvparti .
