Case Studies in Lighting Efficiency Honeycomb Intelligent Lighting Controls Kenneth Seeton Wed, July 22, 2015
Project Scope and Savings Project location: NSM (Natural Science & Mathematics), ERC (Library) & LCH (LaCorte Hall) Completion date: December 15, 2014 Brief narrative: To bring wasted light out of the Honeycomb ceiling and down to the ground in a more efficient manner without creating places for birds to nest. To have better control of lights and be able to dim them down to a more cost effective lighting level while still keeping the area safe at 2 am. Project cost: $77,953 Estimated annual energy savings: 101,188 kwh Estimated annual cost savings: $12,648 electricity savings ROI: 4.24 years 2
A fixture did not currently exist that would meet all my criteria and so I finally found a vendor (MaxLite)that would think outside the box with me. We worked together to design a mounting plate that would hold a standard troffer fixture that could be mounted flush to the bottom of the ceiling. I again enlisted the aid of Professor Judy King and her students to count the existing lights and taught them how to do the energy savings calculations. While the students were doing their homework we installed 4 prototype 45w LED fixtures. Through the use of Enlighted smart controls I saw that we could operate the lights at 10% minimum and 50% maximum and have better light output then the old fixtures. In fact the light output by lowering the fixture out of the Honeycomb ceiling was so good that we skipped every other fixture and so put in half as many as we removed around the NSM building. We found that we had many extra fixtures so we were able to do all three buildings on campus with this same type of Honeycomb architecture style. In the end we replaced 441 58w u-tube fluorescent fixtures with 179 45w LED fixtures with Enlighted Smart programmable occupancy controls. The new lights are programed for 10% minimum (9watts) to 50% maximum (25watts) with a 1 min off delay when no occupancy. I used the students as my eyes and ears to check on the light levels and comfort of the areas and would talk to their class on a few occasions to get their feedback. In this way the students learned all aspects of a project and not just the design phase. Once again we have created a project that students can feel proud of and have pride in knowing they improved their University. 3

Time Series Analysis Makes It Easy to See Broad Patterns & Predict Future Occupancy
Optimizing HVAC with Occupancy Data HVAC Advisor uses occupancy data collected from Enlighted sensors to: Create temperature set-backs and airflow recommendations Provide recommendations to the BMS via Bacnet» BMS always remains in control of system! Set-back recommendations vary by time of day and weekday/weekend status Airflow depends on bands of space utilization (Min, Low, Medium, and High) Set-up is done easily through HVAC Advisor Application 41
Optimizing HVAC with Occupancy Data Pervasive temperature sensors describe hot and cold zones in the building Pervasive occupancy sensors indicate setback zones for active duty cycling 42

Possible savings from HVAC only During February 2015, EcoVox building analytics showed that the 15 VAV units with Enlighted occupancy controls averaged 152 hours each with flow reduced by 161 cfm from normal. This accounts for a 2.1% reduction of the total airflow through air handlers 2 and 3, saving 720 kwh. There was also a savings of approximately 80 therms of natural gas, due to cooling saved at the chiller level. Welch Hall has a total of 185 VAV units. 185 / 15 = 12.33 720kWh * 12.33 = 8,878 kwh * 12 months = 106,531 kwh per year 80 therms * 12.33 = 986 therms * 12 months = 11,837 therms per year
