The challenge:
OPTIMISE ELECTRIC LIGHT AND DAYLIGHT TO SAVE ENERGY AND CREATE A PRODUCTIVE, COMFORTABLE, VISUAL ENVIRONMENT.
Most buildings today are over-lighted because there is enough daylight in the space; or lights are set to a higher level than appropriate for the people
inside; or spaces are lighted even though they are unoccupied. This wastes energy, creates discomfort, and reduces productivity.
The solution:
MANAGE LIGHT WITH QUANTUM ®.

Quantum manages both electric light and daylight, to not only save energy and simplify operations but also improve the comfort and productivity of the
people in your building.

BENEFITS OF QUANTUM ® TOTAL LIGHT MANAGEMENT
Save electricity
and protect the
environment
Save money
MORE ELECTRICITY IS USED FOR LIGHTING
THAN ANY OTHER BUILDING SYSTEM.
LOWER OPERATING AND
MAINTENANCE COSTS.
Controlling your lighting is usually the easiest and
most visible way to manage your energy costs while
enhancing your space.
t
Light control strategies such as tuning, dimming,
occupancy sensing, daylight harvesting, scheduling,
and automatic shading reduce energy consumption
which conserves natural resources and lowers the
amount of CO2 released into the air.

Create a more
flexible space
Increase comfort
and satisfaction
EASILY CONTROL AND RE-CONFIGURE LIGHT SOURCES.
PROPER LIGHTING IS BENEFICIAL FOR EMPLOYEES WORKING
IN AN OFFICE SPACE.
Lighting and shading zones can be re-configured without rewiring,
making reconfiguration of office space simple. As the needs of a space
change, wireless wall controls, hand held controls, occupancy sensors,
and daylight sensors can be reassigned to different fixtures or groups of
fixtures. Furthermore, the Quantum® system is expandable from small,
stand-alone spaces, to whole floors, to the whole building or campus.
www.lutron.com/europe
The improved comfort and workplace satisfaction brought by daylighting,
task-appropriate electric lighting, and individual lighting control can result
in increased occupant comfort and satisfaction2.

QUANTUM ® ENERGY SAVINGS AND LIGHT CONTROL STRATEGIES
Photography © Nic Lehoux
10
ARCHITECTURAL LOAD DIMMING
LIGHT LEVEL TUNING
Allows the users to dim traditional light sources such as
incandescent, halogen, low voltage, and LED.
Sets the target light level based on customer requirements in
each space. This level is lower than the high-end trim light level.
FLUORESCENT DIMMING
SCENE AND ZONE CONTROL
Highly efficient dimming that allows the users to dim
fluorescent lights.
Users can select pre-programmed light scenes or raise and
lower individual light zones.
CONTROLLABLE WINDOW BLINDS
SCENE CONTROL
Allows quiet control of daylight for improved comfort and
productivity using Sivoia® QS blinds.
Users can select pre-programmed light scenes at the touch
of a button.
SWITCHING
PERSONAL LIGHT CONTROL
Allows the user to switch on or off all non-dimmed light
sources using 1 million cycle relays.
Allows users in the space to select the correct light level for
the desired task. Often that is much less light than full-on.
HIGH-END TRIM
OCCUPANCY OR VACANCY SENSING
High-end trim sets the maximum light level for each space,
providing guaranteed energy savings.
Automatically turn off lights when people vacate the space.
Lutron
www.lutron.com/europe
DAYLIGHT HARVESTING
BACNET INTEGRATION
Automatically adjusts the electric lighting levels based on the
amount of daylight in the space.
Allows simple integration with the building
management system.
SCHEDULING
REMOTE MONITORING AND CONTROL
Lights turn off or are dimmed and blinds are adjusted
automatically at certain times of the day or in relation to
sunrise and sunset.
Allows management of your building’s light from anywhere
in the world.
HYPERION TM SOLAR-ADAPTIVE SHADING
INTELLIDEMAND TM LOAD SHED (DEMAND RESPONSE)
Automatically adjusts Lutron Sivoia® QS window blinds
based on the angle of the sun to maximise the effective
use of daylight.
Allows the facility manager to reduce lighting load
at times of peak electricity pricing.
PARTITIONING
REPORTING AND TRENDING
Automatically adapts the lighting controls to changes in
room configurations.
Allows the system operator to intelligently manage and
monitor the lighting in their building.

Beyond light control to
light management
Quantum Q-Admin interface
The heart of the Quantum® solution
is Q–Admin—Quantum’s powerful
software that allows facility
mangers to manage their electric
light and daylight for maximum
energy efficiency, comfort, and
productivity. From a central
location, a facility manager can
control electric lights and blinds, as
well as configure, monitor, analyse,
and report on the light system in
the building.

Q-ADMIN —SCHEDULING
TM
Time-based control
of facility lighting
Quantum allows for time-based control of all lighting and blinds
Q-Admin software includes two
types of time clocks:
t
a time-of-day clock
(e.g. 8 p.m. weeknights)
t
an astronomic clock
(e.g. sunrise and sunset)
Lights can automatically be set to
a preset level or to turn on or off in
certain spaces based on the time
of day. Blinds can automatically
raise or lower in certain spaces at
specific times.
Conditional programming can
also allow controls to operate
differently based on the time of
the day. For example, occupancy
sensors can be disabled during
working hours, but re-enabled in
non-working hours.

Reports include power or energy usage, system activity, and lamp failures
Q-Admin provides reports and
diagnostics that allow facility

before they become problems,
and monitor lighting energy
consumption in the whole building
or any part of the building.

Q-ADMIN —INTELLIDEMAND LOAD SHED
TM
TM
Q-Admin IntelliDemand load shed interface
Smart load shed
This feature of Q-Admin allows facility
managers to shed a percentage of the
system’s lighting output to reduce energy
costs for their facility. This can result
in lower electricity rates or rebates
from utility companies and energy
aggregators, who offer demand response
programs. The ability to eliminate or
smooth out energy peaks can also have
a significant impact on reducing peak
demand charges from the utility company.
Smart Grid and Open Automatic
Demand Response (ADR)
interoperability
Demand response is a critical part of
participating in the Smart Grid. The
Quantum® system is Open ADR compliant,
and by receiving signals from a utility
company or energy aggregator, Quantum
software can automatically respond
by lowering light levels unobtrusively
throughout the facility.

Q-ADMIN —HYPERION ® SOLAR-ADAPTIVE SHADING
TM
Hyperion set up wizard and daily blind schedules
Automatic blind control
Hyperion solar-adaptive shading
is a feature within Q-Admin that
automatically adjusts Lutron
Sivoia® QS blinds to reduce glare
and heat gain throughout the
day in response to the changing
position of the sun. Customised
blind schedules are developed
to limit how far the direct sunlight
can penetrate into the space
by combining information about
building location and façade
orientation.
Hyperion automatically
generates blind
schedules by area.
The schedule for each
area can be viewed for
each day of the year.
20
Lutron
www.lutron.com/europe
Seasonal solar variation
The angle and intensity of daylight
changes throughout the year.
Hyperion manages these variations
by incrementally altering the blind
adjustment schedule of each
façade on a daily basis.
Hyperion offers a variety of benefits

Hyperion ensures blinds are open when the sun’s
glare won’t adversely affect occupants.
Maximises effective daylighting
Hyperion works with the Quantum daylight harvesting
system to significantly lower electric light usage.

Q-ADMIN —ALERTS
TM
Raising awareness
Quantum alert interface
Quantum® can monitor the
system for certain events/triggers
and raise awareness through
visible changes in Q-Admin
or through email messages.
Emails can be used to integrate
into more sophisticated work
order management systems for
acknowledgements or assignment
to individuals.
Types of alerts
Alerts can cover a range of issues,
one of the most important being
issues with equipment. Improperly
functioning equipment, such as
a ballast, control, or sensor, as
well as lamp outages in Lutron
dimming ballasts, can all be set
for an alert.
Alerts can also be triggered for
low batteries in wireless sensors
or controls. Lamp hour counters
can trigger alerts for lamps nearing
their end of life and the start of a
loadshed event.

Users can also save preferred light levels and
blind positions, which they can easily recall
with the “favorite” button.
Users can also quickly reprogram area scenes, zone
levels, and blind presets while in a space.
