Case Study - Energy Control

ENERGY CONTROL CASE STUDY

SITUATION
EMC Corporation occupies several large office, lab and
assembly facilities on a campus setting in Southborough, MA.
The largest work and lab space in this complex, consisting
of traditional cubicle style work areas, is occupied for only
intermittent periods throughout the business week and is
surrounded on its periphery by large windows which offer
natural sunlight to the interior areas during daylight hours.

PROJECT
Groom Energy’s team performed on-site data logging,
gathering detailed information about occupancy periods
and ambient light levels during a typical work period.
Using this logged data the engineering team identified
a significant energy savings to be gained through adding
networked based lighting controls to this entire workspace.

Through its design Groom Energy delivered an implementation
managing 1,300 lighting fixtures in a more energy efficient
manner. Based on the Metasys NAE building controller this
system utilizes a six-zone, 270 motion and 126 ambient
sensor network, allowing the existing lighting system to
automatically switch off during periods of no occupancy
or dim down when supplementary natural light is present.
