WattStopper Wireless Exterior Lighting Controls Solution Earns Top Innovation Award
December 17, 2015
Architectural Products magazine has recognized the product design and functionality of WattStopper’s wireless exterior lighting controls solution with a 2015 Product Innovation Award (PIA) in the Lighting/Electrical category.
This is the second PIA award WattStopper has received from the publication. The first award was given in 2012 for its digital lighting management solution, named best lighting control system in the Lighting/Electrical category.
Architectural Products magazine is a trade publication for architects, specifiers, designers and building owners/operators in commercial, light commercial and institutional markets. The publication's awards program recognizes a wide variety of innovative buildings-related products. Winners were judged by a group of 32 independent industry professionals.
WattStopper exterior lighting controls allow facility managers to schedule and remotely manage outdoor lighting, as well as take action if faults occur based on real-time energy reporting. The solution is ideal for a wide range of commercial site, parking, pathway and roadway lighting. It delivers substantial energy and cost savings of up to 39% via automation and remote management of lighting. Built on open standards, including 6LoWPAN and BACnet, it ensures maximum flexibility for outdoor lighting control and integration with existing systems.
