Quantum Total Light Management Architectural lighting control, shading, and energy-saving solutions
Photography Nic Lehoux The challenge: OPTIMISE ELECTRIC LIGHT AND DAYLIGHT TO SAVE ENERGY AND CREATE A PRODUCTIVE, COMFORTABLE, VISUAL ENVIRONMENT. Most buildings today are over-lighted because there is enough daylight in the space; or lights are set to a higher level than appropriate for the people inside; or spaces are lighted even though they are unoccupied. This wastes energy, creates discomfort, and reduces productivity. The solution: MANAGE LIGHT WITH QUANTUM. Quantum manages both electric light and daylight, to not only save energy and simplify operations but also improve the comfort and productivity of the people in your building.

BENEFITS OF QUANTUM TOTAL LIGHT MANAGEMENT Save electricity and protect the environment MORE ELECTRICITY IS USED FOR LIGHTING THAN ANY OTHER BUILDING SYSTEM. Controlling your lighting is usually the easiest and most visible way to manage your energy costs while enhancing your space. Light control strategies such as tuning, dimming, occupancy sensing, daylight harvesting, scheduling, and automatic shading reduce energy consumption which conserves natural resources and lowers the amount of CO 2 released into the air. Save money LOWER OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE COSTS. automatically turn off lights in vacant spaces use only the amount of electric light needed minimise electricity demand charges by lowering light levels during peak periods reduce lighting and HVAC loads by dimming lights and automatically controlling blinds report lamp failures for optimal group re-lamping Lighting is responsible for nearly 21% 1 of the annual electricity costs in a typical commercial building. 4 Lutron
Create a more flexible space Increase comfort and satisfaction EASILY CONTROL AND RE-CONFIGURE LIGHT SOURCES. Lighting and shading zones can be re-configured without rewiring, making reconfiguration of office space simple. As the needs of a space change, wireless wall controls, hand held controls, occupancy sensors, and daylight sensors can be reassigned to different fixtures or groups of fixtures. Furthermore, the Quantum system is expandable from small, stand-alone spaces, to whole floors, to the whole building or campus. PROPER LIGHTING IS BENEFICIAL FOR EMPLOYEES WORKING IN AN OFFICE SPACE. The improved comfort and workplace satisfaction brought by daylighting, task-appropriate electric lighting, and individual lighting control can result in increased occupant comfort and satisfaction 2.

QUANTUM VUETM FACILITY MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE 14 Lutron
Beyond light control to light management The heart of the Quantum solution is Qunatum Vue Quantum s powerful software that allows facility mangers to manage their electric light and daylight for maximum energy efficiency, comfort, and productivity. From a central location, a facility manager can control electric lights and blinds, as well as configure, monitor, analyse, and report on the light system in the building. Quantum Vue interface Lutron 15
QUANTUM VUETM SCHEDULING Time-based control of facility lighting Quantum Vue software includes two types of time clocks: a time-of-day clock (e.g. 8 p.m. weeknights) an astronomic clock (e.g. sunrise and sunset) Lights can automatically be set to a preset level or to turn on or off in certain spaces based on the time of day. Blinds can automatically raise or lower in certain spaces at specific times. Conditional programming can also allow controls to operate differently based on the time of the day. For example, occupancy sensors can be disabled during working hours, but re-enabled in non-working hours. Quantum allows for time-based control of all lighting and blinds w..com om/e ur ope Display today s schedule of events 16 Lutron
QUANTUM VUETM REPORTING Energy analysis, maintenance, and system health reports Quantum Vue provides reports and diagnostics that allow facility managers to improve maintenance and operations, identify issues before they become problems, and monitor lighting energy consumption in the whole building or any part of the building. Reports include power or energy usage, system activity, and lamp failures Energy usage reporting Lutron 17
QUANTUM INTELLIDEMANDTM LOAD SHED Quantum Vue IntelliDemand load shed interface Smart load shed This feature of Quantum Vue allows facility managers to shed a percentage of the system s lighting output to reduce energy costs for their facility. This can result in lower electricity rates or rebates from utility companies and energy aggregators, who offer demand response programs. The ability to eliminate or smooth out energy peaks can also have a significant impact on reducing peak demand charges from the utility company. Smart Grid and Open Automatic Demand Response (ADR) interoperability Demand response is a critical part of participating in the Smart Grid. The Quantum system is Open ADR compliant, and by receiving signals from a utility company or energy aggregator, Quantum software can automatically respond by lowering light levels unobtrusively throughout the facility. Power usage Load shed settings for individual areas 18 Lutron
QUANTUM LOAD SHEDDING STEPS Quantum s IntelliDemand load shed capability allows a facility to respond to load shed requests automatically, or at the touch of a button. Utility company sends out demand response signal. Demand Response Automation Server (DRAS) Automatic signal OR Manual signal Energy Management System (EMS) receives demand response signal from utility company over Ethernet and sends loadshed commands using BACnet to the Quantum hubs. BACnet/IP OR Open ADR Quantum server Customer receives demand response notification by way of telephone, email, text message, or pager and manually adjusts load via PC. Quantum hub receives demand response signal and lowers lighting, turns off preprogrammed loads, increases HVAC set point, and adjusts blinds to save energy. Q-Manager with IntelliDemand allows user to pre-program loadshed strategies. Blinds HVAC Non-lighting loads Ballasts and lamps Lutron 19
QUANTUM HYPERION SOLAR-ADAPTIVE SHADING Hyperion set up wizard and daily blind schedules Automatic blind control Hyperion solar-adaptive shading is a feature within Quantum Vue that automatically adjusts Lutron Sivoia QS blinds to reduce glare and heat gain throughout the day in response to the changing position of the sun. Customised blind schedules are developed to limit how far the direct sunlight can penetrate into the space by combining information about building location and façade orientation. Hyperion automatically generates blind schedules by area. The schedule for each area can be viewed for each day of the year. 20 Lutron
Seasonal solar variation The angle and intensity of daylight changes throughout the year. Hyperion manages these variations by incrementally altering the blind adjustment schedule of each façade on a daily basis. December 21st Winter S Sunrise June 21st Summer E W Sunrise N Hyperion offers a variety of benefits Increases comfort and productivity Glare from windows can reduce productivity by up to 25%. 12 By controlling blinds, Hyperion helps reduce glare, as well as heat gain, making a space more comfortable for its occupants. Preserves external views Studies have shown that employees are more productive when they have views of the outside. Hyperion ensures blinds are open when the sun s glare won t adversely affect occupants. June 21st, 11:00 a.m. Hyperion software automatically positions blinds to let useful daylight into the space. Lights near windows dim to save energy. Maximises effective daylighting Hyperion works with the Quantum daylight harvesting system to significantly lower electric light usage. Lowers HVAC costs Blinds can save 10 20% of cooling loads by blocking and reflecting solar heat. 7 December 21st, 11:00 a.m. Blinds lower to block harsh low-angled winter sun. Lights near windows remain bright, maintaining preferred light levels. Lutron 21
QUANTUM VUETM ALERTS Raising awareness Quantum can monitor the system for certain events/triggers and raise awareness through visible changes in Quantum Vue or through email messages. Emails can be used to integrate into more sophisticated work order management systems for acknowledgements or assignment to individuals. Quantum alert interface Types of alerts Alerts can cover a range of issues, one of the most important being issues with equipment. Improperly functioning equipment, such as a ballast, control, or sensor, as well as lamp outages in Lutron dimming ballasts, can all be set for an alert. Alerts can also be triggered for low batteries in wireless sensors or controls. Lamp hour counters can trigger alerts for lamps nearing their end of life and the start of a loadshed event. 22 Lutron
PERSONNA PC AND Q-CONTROL+ Personal web-based control software for Quantum Personna PC gives occupants control of their lights and blinds from any device that can run a web browser. After logging in with a user name and password, the user can control lights and blinds in his area using a virtual keypad, so there s no remote control to lose. Users can also save preferred light levels and blind positions, which they can easily recall with the favorite button. Wireless hand-held control and programming The Q-Control+ app provides a simple user interface for end-users, facility managers, and lighting designers to control and monitor the lights and blinds from anywhere in the building using a mobile ipad platform. Users can also quickly reprogram area scenes, zone levels, and blind presets while in a space. Administrators can manage user accounts and restrict user access to only certain areas or functions depending on their specific roles.

SEAMLESS INTEROPERABILITY Quantum can seamlessly and reliably integrate with many different building systems, including building management systems (BMS), security systems, and maintenance systems. The BACnet/IP protocol is the primary means of integration. BACnet is embedded or native in the Quantum processors, which means no external interfaces or gateways are required in order to communicate with other systems. Only a single point of connection is needed on the Quantum network for total and complete communication to the entire system. Additionally, the Quantum system has been tested by BACnet Testing Laboratories (BTL) and certified to comply with all of their necessary interoperability requirements. Common integration examples: A BMS system can trigger loadshed events in the Quantum system Occupancy sensor status can be shared with the HVAC system to set back temperatures when areas become unoccupied Quantum s energy usage information can be shared with building dashboards to eliminate the need to add costly energy meters The end goal is to increase the energy efficiency of buildings and simplify the lives of facility managers. Seamless interoperability between major building systems goes a long way to helping achieve this goal. In addition to BACnet, Quantum also provides a variety of other means to communicate with different buildings systems including RS232, Ethernet TCP/IP, contact closures, Modbus TCP/IP, Open ADR, and XML Webservices.
