This whitepaper discusses the potential for substantial energy savings by integrating Networked Lighting Controls (NLCs) with LED systems in commercial and industrial buildings. It highlights how combining NLCs with other systems, particularly HVAC, can lead to further energy and demand reductions. The paper calls for updated energy efficiency policies to encourage wider adoption of NLCs, citing their long-term benefits in reducing energy consumption and costs.
