Shining a Light on Occupancy and Vacancy Sensors
|
Chuck Ross
|
If you grew up like I did, in a home where thriftiness was highly
valued, you likely heard the phrase “Turn off those lights!” on a
regular basis. Leaving lights on in empty rooms was seen as a sign of
laziness and wastefulness. Over the past decade, a number of energy
codes have picked up on this message, with mandates for sensing and
controls to help reduce electricity use and the greenhouse gas emissions
that might be related to its production.

Smart Panelboards – Making Smart Homes Even Smarter
|
Steve Maurer, IME
|
I'm not a spring chicken by any stretch of the imagination. But I'm not
technology challenged, either. Fired up my first computer in the '80s,
and I've had a love affair with tech ever since. Don't tell my wife,
okay?
Seriously though, I do like my tech and use it to make life
easier for me. I have high-speed internet in the 1 gigabyte range,
flying over fiber optics supplied by my electric company.

How to Ensure Lighting Controls Match the Longevity of Today’s LEDs
|
Chuck Ross
|
I’m currently in the process of planning a kitchen remodeling project
and learning even more about LED lighting in the process. For example,
one of the electricians looking over the room for an estimate noted that
his company pretty much only works with dedicated LED downlights, now –
in other words, fixtures that work with embedded LEDs, rather than more
generic units that would work with LED bulbs – or any other kind of
bulb, for that matter.
