A Foundational Step for Creating
Connected Building Spaces
ATLANTA - July
10, 2018 - Acuity Brands, Inc. (NYSE: AYI) today announced the
launch of a new nLight® AIR wireless lighting controls adapter that
can unite both wireless and wired lighting controls devices and
systems. The resulting nLight AIR platform can also connect with an
nLight ECLYPSE® controller, optionally leveraging BACnet/IP and
WiFi networks to seamlessly integrate lighting controls with other
building management systems to help create an intelligent,
connected building.
The AIR adapter easily penetrates
through obstructions common in commercial buildings and enhances
wireless coverage in large indoor and outdoor spaces. Featuring a
900MHz communication frequency, a single AIR adapter can connect up
to 750 nLight AIR control devices, with signal penetration testing
available upon request.
"Building managers can now create
a hybrid wired and wireless lighting controls system for building
renovations and manage those controls from one point," said Trevor
Palmer, Senior Vice President, Distributed Lighting Networks,
Acuity Brands Lighting. "For example, a new wireless lighting
control system for a parking lot or deck can be connected to a
building's existing wired lighting control system. A 'single pane
of glass' can then be used to view and manage the integrated
system."
The nLight AIR adapter also
enables the sharing of luminaire, motion and daylight data that can
be collected from the radios embedded in each nLight AIR sensor.
Additionally, by authorizing nLight AIR devices to wirelessly
connect to the nLight platform, the nLight AIR adaptor unlocks
visualization tools for spatial utilization and energy usage
reporting, among others. This new ability to connect individual
systems also enables facilities to comply with stringent building
energy code requirements related to energy usage, scheduling and
demand response, such as California's Title 24.
