LUMEnergi offers network-controlled lighting energy management through its NetLight components and Executive Software, delivering intelligent, flexible and scalable controls for single rooms to distributed campuses. Its system manages lighting from a single screen and integrates with existing lighting infrastructure. The solution interfaces with other building systems such as HVAC, shares fixture and sensor-level data, and enables participation in Demand Response applications. LUMEnergi says lighting energy efficiency can be increased by up to 70% via integration, customization to usage patterns, and daylight harvesting. The company targets commercial and industrial facilities ranging from office towers to national retail networks. It is a privately held, venture-funded company based in Newark, California and plans to use new capital to expand marketing, sales and product development. Lumenergi develops fluorescent and LED lighting-control systems designed to help office and home owners monitor, report on, and reduce building-wide lighting energy use. Its products were described in the article as being "like dimmers on steroids and smart pills." Some systems use lower-power-consuming LED lights while others work with fluorescents, per GreenTechMedia. The company plans to use the new capital to scale deployments from small- and mid-sized commercial sites such as schools, courthouses, and stores to large-scale commercial and industrial sites. It will especially pursue projects in energy-intensive regions where the power supply may be limited or strained by harsh weather. Lumenergi is based in Newark, Calif.
