Networked Lighting Controls offer significant energy savings and operational benefits over traditional stand-alone controls. But adoption of NLCs still lags in the Small to medium sized building market. Luckily, NLC systems have come a long way in the last five years, and many have made progress overcoming the primary objection to NLCs: high upfront costs. In this webinar, we touched on how the NLC QPL can inform system selection, introduce a simple framework that will help demystify NLC installation and programming, shared lessons learned from experience with NLCs in large buildings and explore how lighting manufacturers are helping their customers achieve success with NLCs.
