Lumenergi will be collaborating with two local firms, Spawglass and Essential Energy, and expects its system to reduce the building’s lighting energy costs by over 60%.
The EO Thompson building is owned and operated by the Texas Facilities Commission (TFC), which is responsible for over 24.3 million square feet of leased and owned space in government properties across the state of Texas.
The building is being retrofitted with Lumenergi technology as part of TFC’s initiative to increase energy efficiency and cost savings while reducing the green house gas emissions of public sector buildings and other statewide facilities.
Lumenergi’s system provides adaptable lighting control capabilities including integrated daylight harvesting, occupancy sensing, task tuning, scheduling and personal control.
It further provides energy savings, monitoring, reporting, and optimization, building design methodology with BIM (Building Information Modeling), a three-dimensional architectural engineering and design software and standards-based, open architecture with BMS (Building Management System) integration, according to the company.
Michael D’Amour, CEO of Lumenergi, said: ”The state of Texas and the TFC, in particular, have been at the forefront of sustainable initiatives in both energy efficiency and renewable generation, providing a model for other state governments as we move toward a clean energy economy.”
