The company’s ControlScope solution will be used in two GPG office trials in California. In a Sacramento trial, ControlScope will be used to control existing fluorescent lighting, while in a San Francisco trial, ControlScope will be used in conjunction with new LED fixtures from another participating 2012 GPG vendor. A baseline will be established, and metered energy usage will be monitored by the U.S. Department of Energy. Results from the trials will be published in early 2014. While these particular projects are initially limited in scope to lighting control and monitoring, once installed, lighting devices connected in a wireless network provide the infrastructure for control and monitoring of non-lighting wireless devices like plug load controllers, power meters and thermostats.
