Every month there is a blizzard of information contained in the emails that cross my desk on their way to AutomatedBuildings.com.  Some of this information is not in the form of any type of content we can publish but I feel I should share with you these snippets, blog bits, and url links that are about to fall off my desktop.

By Bill Lydon, Automation.com
There were a number of new and interesting building automation products demonstrated at AHR Expo 2010. This is a review of the products that caught my interest. My areas of product interest included energy conservation, alternative energy, and sustainability. Not surprisingly, hundreds of exhibitors were featuring energy-efficient solutions.

Review and Highlights from 2010 AHR Expo
By Bill Lydon, Automation.com
The 2010 AHR Expo held on January 25-27, 2010 in Orlando Florida was a busy event. Exhibitors and attendees were upbeat but cautious about the economy. Major areas of interest included energy conservation, government stimulus, alternative energy, and sustainability. Not surprisingly, hundreds of exhibitors were featuring energy-efficient solutions and there were a variety of educational sessions on that topic.

Researchers Study Demand-Responsive Dimmable Lighting

To reduce peak demand with lighting, we can turn it off, turn it down or use it more efficiently. Since lighting is critical for productivity and safety in many indoor spaces, turning it down instead of off is usually more desirable. Dimmable lighting therefore has a strong potential role to play in demand response.

But how low can we go? How much energy ca be saved?

Typical levels of automatic dimming, occurring in strategies such as a daylight harvesting, are unlikely to be noticed or found irritable by occupants. Researchers at NRC-IRC put this notion to the test, conducting a study to determine how far, how fast and over what period lighting can be dimmed before occupants notice and are adversely affected.
