The built environment has evolved. Today we are in the midst of a green renaissance. Commercial institutions have seen the value of sustainable practices, recycled materials, and LEED® certification – a value that transcends environmental responsibility and is realized through increased comfort, productivity, and employee satisfaction. A well-designed building needs to let the outside in – through access to views, effective daylighting, and green solutions. Today’s high-performance commercial space emphasizes total control of light in the pursuit of energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, and resource conservation. Lutron® shading solutions are a key component to achieving these goals. The following pages showcase some of the latest innovations in shading from Lutron.

Function and flexibility Creating the visual environment Combine control of daylight and electric light to deliver more efficient, more attractive, and more useful spaces.
A high-performance commercial space is designed to support multiple activities—presentations, videoconferencing, meetings, computer-based tasks. Daylight control is a critical component in delivering that performance, but there is an even greater opportunity. Integrating daylight control with wireless, interoperable lighting controls allows for control of the whole visual environment, which saves energy and makes a space flexible enough to deliver the perfect light for any function.

The big picture Save energy while increasing comfort and productivity
Lutron® precision control shades are part of a larger story – the story of total light management. Electronically controlled shades are an essential element to energy-saving light strategies in a commercial environment. Shades working in concert with dimmable lights can reduce a building’s lighting energy consumption by up to 70%. Products such as the Lutron Quantum® total light management system, and HyperionTM solar-adaptive shading are revolutionizing the relationship of a building’s interiors to the dynamic nature of natural light and occupants’ needs.

Aesthetics
Control
Minimal, symmetrical light gaps Lutron roller shade systems offer light gaps of .75 inch per side.
Ultra-quiet electronic drive Lutron® systems are low-voltage and operate at a near-silent level (rated at 44 dBA at three feet). Shades move smoothly and stop at preset positions with no audible clicks.
Elegant control options Lutron controls are designed to match high-end commercial settings and are available in a wide variety of colors and finishes, including metals. Wide array of fabrics Lutron shading systems are available in sheer, dim-out, and blackout fabrics to suit any function or aesthetic need, including many PVC-free fabric choices. Intelligent hembar alignment™ All shades in a Lutron shading system track together and stop at programmable preset positions to within .125 inch. By utilizing intelligent hembar alignment, roller 20™, roller 64™, roller 100™, roller 150™, and roller 225™ shade systems will move and track together, even though they use different size roller tubes.
Flexibility and performance
Total light control at work:
Limits and presets never lost Limits and preset shade positions are electronically precision-set and locked, providing power failure memory for the life of the product. These limits and presets never slip regardless of age, electrostatic discharge, or power failure. Sustainable design and LEED® Lutron shading and lighting controls may contribute to obtaining up to 36 points in 5 of 6 LEED credit categories.
Lutron® products included: Sivoia® QS roller shades • Quantum® total light control management • HyperionTM solar adaptive shading •
