This newest addition to the Lutron sensor family allows the control of two circuits from one occupancy sensor, making it ideal for applications that require bi-level switching to meet codes.
In general terms, the smart grid is the modernization of today’s electricity grid, with improved technology to help save energy, reduce your electricity bills, and decrease brownouts and blackouts. The smart grid features two-way communication—between you and the utility company—so that you can see how much electricity you’re using, when you’re using it, and how much it costs.
One of the major components of the smart grid is demand response, meaning a utility will work to decrease electricity demand during peak hours. Utilities will offer lower prices for using electricity during off-hours when demand for electricity is low.
Commercial building owners can receive financial incentives from demand response programs while using less energy and saving money. Lutron smart grid solutions contain load shedding software that can easily reduce lighting loads either at the touch of a button or via an automatic command. Lighting is an ideal choice for load shedding in a commercial application because it consumes a substantial amount of electricity and because power reductions can be implemented gradually with no interuption to productivity so that they go unnoticed by the occupants in a building.
