Owners, managers and tenants have more reasons than ever before to need real-time information about their buildings, for safety-driven use cases like flexspace reservations, hybrid schedules, reduced worker density, contact tracing, wayfinding and more. How does lighting contribute? And how can lighting integrate with other high value digital technologies? This session will provide an updated and agnostic overview of the most relevant options, along with a methodology to help specifiers navigate and stay competitive with beyond lighting features. Special attention will be paid to protect lighting quality with specifics about interoperability and Controls Intent while meeting Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR).
- Learn how to parse through Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR) to know how to refine lighting and digital integration requirements into Controls Intent Narratives (CIN).
- Understand how to carefully evaluate different digital and IOT technologies and determine what will genuinely support the OPR, CIN, interoperability and lighting quality.
- Provide successful examples for multiple applications and building types, ranging from common to customized options.
- Summarize how these methods, technologies and criteria will deliver solutions that meet the needs of post-COVID owners, operators and occupants.
