Welcome to LEDs Magazine’s Connected SSL & Controls newsletter for April 10, 2023. From a personal perspective, I can appreciate that sometimes the most important concerns with delivering functional indoor spaces involve the outdoor conditions and daylight, which can be out of our control…to a point. In a recent magazine issue, writer Alex Pluemer explored how responsive LED lighting and hardware can be combined with software-driven building controls, shading, and even glazing treatments to balance electric and natural illumination and the associated indoor climate conditions for occupants. It’s highly interesting to me as I have access to an office space with lots of windows, but the ability to fine-tune our experience based on changing daytime conditions would be a level up from where we are right now.
Also in this issue:
- Lighting Controls Association education director Craig DiLouie encapsulates several ways to begin with networked lighting controls.
