Luminaire Level Lighting Controls help Seattle office building achieve aggressive energy savings and building system integration

June 18, 2018 By SBC

Seattle’s Pacific Tower was an iconic building with a big facility maintenance challenge: its older systems were inefficient and falling short of occupants’ expectations. After the Washington Department of Commerce signed a 30-year lease for the building, the team wanted to implement bold system upgrades and energy conservation measures to bring the building into the modern era and provide a better experience for occupants.

The solution? The Enlighted System featuring Luminaire Level Lighting Controls (LLLCs), which has enabled 80 percent more energy savings compared to their previous system. Watch the video for more on Pacific Tower’s story – and the non-energy benefits they’ve experienced with LLLCs:
