“Lutron’s involvement from the beginning was invaluable. They understood that the ‘quality’ of the lighting mattered as much as anything – and they were able to deliver a highly sophisticated digital lighting system with a very powerful control software tool that’s easy to use and that carried the clients’ wishes to the Nth degree.
“We really took the time to select the best technology for our campus. We looked into full-voltage, DALI, and IP addressable ballasts. We chose Lutron EcoSystem because it is the most versatile and simplest to use. And people love the single-zone lighting control”
Attila Uysal, Principal/Technical Director SBLD Studio
Jeff Choma, Manager of Mechanical and Electrical Systems, Georgian College

“Lutron provided us a simple way to operate the lighting with all the different alternatives we needed that could not be done with a conventional system — and the energy and money savings is fantastic.”
“At first, we weren’t even thinking about daylight sensing and other ‘fancy’ technologies because this was a non-profit’s project and we just assumed we couldn’t afford them. But we were pleasantly surprised and decided immediately to adopt them as part of our plans to be both universal and green in our design.”

1 Optimized by Lutron controllable window shades 2 Reducing light levels reduces heat in the space, which decreases the power use of your AC system. Typically every 3-Watt reduction in lighting power eliminates 1-Watt of cooling power. 3 Lutron commissioned simulation by T.C.
