Energy Management Hasn't Gone Away, and Douglas Keeps Getting Better and Better

So much has happened throughout 2020; it feels like we might have forgotten about energy management as a discussion. Sure, the codes in NY and California continue to get more stringent, and we know that lighting controls can lead the way in energy management, but what's new? Where's the innovation?

You've heard me talk about and might have seen me write about Douglas Lighting Controls before. Douglas specializes in bullet-proof dead simple architectural dimming solutions. I like Douglas because their systems are easy to design and layout, and they are simple for the contractor to install. Douglas' characteristics aren't new, but there are several updates/additions which are unique and make Douglas a more robust choice for complex architectural projects.

Here are some of the additions Douglas has made this year.

• Approval by DesignLights Consortium under Network Lighting Controls for the Dialog System

• IoT Enabled Wireless Intelligent Fixture Sensors and controllers

• Addition of RGBW DMX for the Dialog Family

• Introduction of the CheckLight Energy Management Platform
