Episode 353: #278 - Mining Data in Tunable Lighting Controls

The final episode in our Technical Update Series, previously streamed. The smarter our buildings become, the more data they generate. Lighting controls data could prove valuable for facilities managers, manufacturers, and lighting designers. For example, button press data can reveal insights into occupancy levels, when and where lights were turned on or off, and adjustments to light settings. These data can prove valuable for facility owners hoping to cut down on energy waste, or for lighting designers who commission future lighting systems. But as valuable as the data are, the building industry is still learning how to interpret and leverage the data. Greater insight into this data could lead to more informed decision-making on the efficiency of our buildings.
