Networked Lighting Controls

Lighting Controls Case Studies

For any new technology to take off, we need real-world examples and lessons learned from people with experience. Here we have gathered case studies from our partners and manufacturers on the Networked Lighting Controls qualified products list.

Case Studies From BetterBricks (NEEA)

BetterBricks is a commercial resource of Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) that helps building professionals stay competitive in the market. (Note: The DLC considers luminaire level lighting controls (LLLC) to be a subset of networked lighting controls (NLC).)

The toolkit below is intended for utilities to use and the video case study shows an installation in a large commercial building.

Case Studies from Manufacturers

This case study shows the results, experience, and lessons learned for a large networked lighting controls installation.

Additional Resources About Incremental Cost and Energy Savings

Need to know more about the cost of networked lighting controls? Here are some relevant studies.

This lighting control incremental cost study from the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) was conducted on LLLC systems that are listed on the DLC’s NLC Qualified Products List (QPL).
