the ability to monitor and control a property from one centralized location

One such advanced system is the ENCELIUM? Energy Management System (EMS) from OSRAM SYLVANIA. The ENCELIUM EMS has been proven to cut lighting energy expenditures by 50 to 75 percent, significantly reduce CO2 emissions, and provide payback on investment faster than other environmental measures. An ideal solution for both retrofits and new construction, the EMS, formerly known as the Energy Control System, has been installed in more than 45 million square feet of commercial space across North America and Europe. An intelligent lighting control system like EMS can integrate lighting controls with other building automation systems, such as HVAC, fire and security, providing a user the ability to monitor and control a property from one centralized location. And just as important for retailers, advanced lighting controls improve illumination quality, which is essential for customer satisfaction.

OSRAM recently introduced its ENCELIUM Polaris 3D? software, the first-of-its-kind, web-based application featuring an interactive three-dimensional view of a property in real-time. Polaris 3D creates energy savings reports for a floor, zone, or even a fixture based on the desired timeline whether it is a day, week, month or year. These capabilities enable users to quickly identify irregularities and make adjustments as needed.

An intelligent lighting control system regularly meets or exceeds today’s sustainable requirements, and incentives are often available to property owners to help offset the financial investment of new energy-efficient systems. Incentives range from local utility efforts to state and federal programs.
