Acuity Brands, Inc. New SiteView Energy Solution Helps Manage Facility's Energy Consumption
April 25 2017 - 8:15AM
ATLANTA - April
25, 2017 -- Acuity Brands, Inc. (NYSE: AYI) today introduced
its SiteView(TM) Energy solution, which combines power metering
devices and a digital dashboard, to create a detailed, real-time
look at actual energy consumption within a building. The SiteView
Energy solution takes advantage of software that is hosted within
nLight ECLYPSE(TM) smart building-ready controllers, also from
Acuity Brands, to help building owners track and analyze weekly,
monthly and yearly energy data to identify trends and savings.
The award-winning nLight ECLYPSE
controller leverages available BACnet/IP and WiFi networks to allow
seamless and reliable integration of nLight® lighting control
systems from Acuity Brands with building management systems that
use the BACnet communication protocol. nLight ECLYPSE is also one
of a limited number of controllers with both building management
and lighting control capabilities to earn a BACnet Testing
Laboratories' BACnet Building Controller (B-BC device) listing, and
is now further enhanced with the SiteView Energy functionality.
The SiteView Energy solution is
easy to implement and supports up to five, revenue-grade power
meters per nLight ECLYPSE device. The SiteView Energy edge
application is hosted directly within the controller and features a
graphical user interface that displays power consumption dashboards
that can be viewed on any PC or mobile device. With the added
functionality of SiteView Energy, building owners and property
managers can analyze energy consumption for a single tenant,
multiple tenants or an entire facility with no programming
required.
Building owners and property
managers can compare load type or floor-to-floor usage, pinpointing
areas of higher consumption. These energy usage logs can be
exported and submitted to local utilities to help qualify for
available utility incentive programs. Also, the SiteView Energy
solution capabilities can assist building owners in achieving
compliance with regional energy codes such as Local Law 88 in New
York and Title 24 in California.
"Lighting is one of the largest
electrical loads in today's buildings. Accurately metering this
load easily as a part of the control system only makes sense," said
Acuity Brands Lighting's Trevor Palmer, Vice President,
Applications and User Experience. "The simplified, browser-based
configurability and deployment of the SiteView Energy solution make
it easier for building owners and property managers to see and
manage energy consumption over time and help support their 'green'
initiatives at a lower total cost than legacy systems. nLight
ECLYPSE with the SiteView Energy solution was the logical 'next
step' in updating our unified lighting controls and building
management systems offering, and further demonstrates Acuity
Brands' commitment to bringing innovative products and technology
to market," said Palmer.
The SiteView Energy solution's
user interface can also be used by property managers as a public
information dashboard to promote occupant engagement and
demonstrate corporate social responsibility by providing tips on
saving energy and information on other sustainability initiatives.
