Product Release: Lutron Quick Install Wireless Energy Solutions
Coopersburg, Pa. — Retrofitting an energy-saving control system into a conference room, classroom, common area, or stairwell has never been easier or more cost effective. Lutron Electronics is pleased to introduce updates to its Energi TriPak™ family of energy-saving products including stairwell retrofit solutions and simple energy retrofit packages for small commercial spaces.
The flexible Energi TriPak product family allows users to select a mix of components to best meet the needs of their space and save energy. New, energy retrofit packages allow contractors to order one model number that includes all the components necessary for a simple, dual voltage switching solution with occupancy sensing. Each package includes a Maestro Wirelessâ switch with ClaroÒ faceplate and either a wireless, ceiling-mount occupancy/vacancy sensor, or wireless, ceiling-mount vacancy-only sensor.
"Lutron is committed to making energy-retrofit products simple to order, quick to install and ready to work immediately in the space,” says Hagen Denton, Business Unit Manager at Lutron. “Energi TriPak solutions can save up to 60% of lighting electricity usage, and even more in stairwell applications, with no additional wiring and no factory commissioning,” says Denton.
Stairwell retrofit solutions help buildings meet code and still save energy in every stairwell by reducing lights to minimum levels when the stairwell is unoccupied, and immediately turning lights on when the stairwells become occupied. Retrofit fixtures communicate seamlessly with all Energi TriPak components.
Energi TriPak components sense, adjust and conserve:
Sense—Radio Powr Savrâ wireless sensors (occupancy/vacancy sensor and daylight sensor) detect motion and sunlight, respectively, turning lights on only when needed based on room occupancy and the amount of available daylight.
Adjust—Picoâ wireless controls offer simple, personal control of lights and small appliances from anywhere in the room.
Conserve— Save energy with the most efficient Lutron products - Maestro Wirelessâ: dimmer, switch, and lamp dimmer; PowPakâ load controllers: dimming module with EcoSystemâ, relay module with Softswitchâ, CCO module, plug-in dimming module and plug-in appliance module, and Stairwell fixture.
These retrofit-friendly products communicate wirelessly via Lutron’s reliable Clear Connectä Radio Frequency technology, making it an ideal solution for retrofit applications.
