    essor Larry Heimann Mike Ferraco Dillon Grove Nathan Hahn Jon Miller
  2. THE PROBLEM Arti icial light provided by CFL bulbs is

    o en emitted in excess o what is necessary in an indoor space. This excess represents an entirely preventable waste o energy.
  3. THE SOLUTION Develop an in ormation system that automates arti

    icial light sources to enhance com ort and reduce energy consumption.
  4. THE SOLUTION Bene its •  Energy Savings •  Com ort

    / Productivity •  Energy Usage Feedback & Analytics
  5. TARGET USERS •  Building Administrators or College Campuses and Office

    Parks •  Environmentally-conscious Developers and Engineers
