Lighten Your Load

Lighting remains one of the largest uses of electricity in commercial spaces with over 38% of a typical business’ energy bill related to lighting. Commercial building owners are constantly looking for ways to save utility costs, and energy saving lighting controls is a great place to start.

With climbing energy costs, reducing energy consumption becomes a major concern, especially in the commercial space.

Today, much of the design of new commercial construction as well as retrofit construction is focused on intelligent buildings and energy management controls allowing businesses and building owners to dramatically reduce energy consumption. The recent pandemic accelerated the adoption of smart controls to promote hands-free and touchless control of lighting and other building infrastructure including occupancy controls.

Controlling Your Lighting Load

Whether you are focused on new construction or retrofits, installing efficient lighting, and controlling lighting loads using intelligent controls are excellent ways to reduce utility costs for building owners. Installing LED fixtures and/or lamps, motion sensors for occupancy or vacancy control or timeclock control to turn lighting off when a space is vacant, local/personal dimming to allow occupants to reduce their own lighting load, Daylight harvesting to utilize natural ambient lighting to reduce artificial lighting loads, or receptacle controls all contribute to energy savings.
Leviton is recognized for their advanced lighting and control systems that bring innovative design and next generation features to commercial applications. Designed to meet and exceed energy code requirements for IECC, ASHRAE 90.1, and Title 24, Part 6, Leviton provides complete architectural lighting and energy management solutions that are scalable for any application. There are many options for controlling lighting in spaces or throughout a whole building, however few are as scalable, flexible, or as easy to install as wireless lighting controls.

  • Lighting loads are controlled via wallbox dimmers and switches or switched and dimmed wireless power packs. Load controls are enrolled in the system using the app.
  • Receptacle loads are controlled by wireless receptacles, or a 20A wireless power pack to control a whole receptacle circuit. Load controls are enrolled in the system using the app.
  • Occupancy sensors and photocells are battery powered and enrolled in the system using the app.
  • Additional wallbox keypads, dimmers, and switches can be added for additional user control points.
