NASA’s Greenest Facility - Kennedy Space Centre Installs Lutron Light Control System

Internationally renowned NASA’s Kennedy Space Centre has been acknowledged of being one of its ‘Greenest Facilities’ and has recently installed a light solution system from Lutron Electronics. The Administrative and Maintenance facility catering to Propellants is using innovative light control strategies to dramatically reduce energy consumption and maximizes the use of available daylight.

Lutron is thrilled to enable NASA achieve net zero energy use in their greenest facility to-date with light control strategies that can save up to 60% of lighting energy. The light controls at the Propellants facility will include wireless wall-mounted controls, digitally addressable electronic ballasts, occupancy sensors and daylight sensors to dramatically reduce energy use.

“Many of the office walls are solid glass, so installing wireless wall-mounted controls was the perfect solution to allow the buildings to maximize use of available daylight at all times” said Andy Wakefield, Government Business Development Director at Lutron.

The Light Control System is a part of NASA facility designed to LEED platinum standard and net zero energy use. This facility will also reach for the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Environment and Energy Design (LEED) Platinum Status, which is the highest LEED rating.

Saving Energy the Lutron Way
Lutron is committed to helping its customers find ways to save energy and all of Lutron’s lighting control systems enable customers to reduce electricity usage and extend lamp life significantly.  In addition, the company’s range of shade and blind controls allow natural light levels to be maximised, offering the ultimate in efficient artificial and natural lighting control.  Lutron leads the industry in controlling energy efficient light sources and full-range dimming is now possible for a wide range of fluorescent lamp types. The trend toward LED lighting for accent and general lighting is growing, and Lutron is there to control it all. 

Lutron Electronics Co., Inc., headquartered in Coopersburg, Pennsylvania, is the world’s leading designer and manufacturer of lighting controls and architectural lighting control systems for residential, commercial and institutional applications. The company that invented solid-state dimming, Lutron is the most recognised and requested brand in the industry and sells and services products in more than 80 countries around the world. It offers more than 15,000 products—from single-room dimmers to comprehensive architectural systems that operate lighting throughout an entire building and can control virtually any lamp source.  Lutron has offices in New Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Dubai, Hong Kong,  Shanghai, Beijing, Singapore, Tokyo,  Barcelona, Berlin, London, Madrid, Mexico, Paris and Sao Paulo.
