Ergolight Controls

Ergolight Energy Savings

Unprecedented energy savings

Fewer fixtures = Lower energy costs

Traditional office lighting designs are configured to supply the same amount of light throughout the floor area regardless of where visual tasks are being performed. The Ergolight workstation-specific approach involves the optimal placement of fixtures over the work area to deliver light where it’s needed, while still achieving appropriate light levels for non-task areas through indirect ambient light. In a typical installation, 35 – 55% fewer fixtures are required to meet recommended illumination levels.

26 troffers This typical office layout with private officesand open workstations would have 26 troffer-style fixtures in a conventional configuration.

12 Ergolight fixtures With an Ergolight Controls solution, one luminaire is installed over each workspace, using less than half as many fixtures as the troffer installation.

65 – 85% energy cost savings over conventional lighting

Conventional office lighting

Conventional office lighting consumes a large, fixed amount of energy throughout the day with all lights on full power from when the first person arrives until the last person leaves.

Savings due to workstation-specific approach

Ergolight's workstation-specific approach to lighting requires 35 to 55% fewer fixtures than conventional lighting systems, cutting consumption by almost half while still maintaining appropriate light levels.

Savings due to daylight and occupancy sensors

Daylight and occupancy sensors adjust light levels throughout the day to produce substantial energy savings.

Savings due to personal dimming controls

Personal dimming controls allow users to dim lights to preferred levels, generating further savings.

Total Ergolight savings

Ergolight Controls technology has proven to reduce lighting-related costs by 65% compared to traditional T8 systems, and by more than 85% on older T12 systems.

Lighting for LEED®

Designed to embrace the principles of LEED, the US Green Building Council’s voluntary rating system for developing high-performance sustainable buildings. As such, it can assist designers working on LEED projects in several categories.
