Lighting control solutionsfor LEED® certification

Make the most of your energySM



The LEED Green Building Rating System was created to

define a “green” building by establishing a common standard of

measurement. It promotes integrated, whole-building practices with

the intent to raise consumer awareness of green building benefits

and transform the building market.

The LEED green building certification program is a voluntary,

consensus-based national rating system for buildings designed,

constructed and operated for improved environmental and human

health performance. LEED addresses all building types and

emphasizes state-of-the-art strategies in five areas: sustainable

site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials and

resources selection, and indoor environmental quality.

What is

Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design

The environment & you

Environmental responsibility

Otherwise known as sustainable, “green” building construction, LEED certification demonstratesthe ability to use resources more efficiently. The goal is to create more energy-efficient, healthier and

comfortable buildings.

The LEED rating system applies to various types of building construction. The first chart represents

the total possible LEED points available in each category. The second chart represents the level of

certification in each category.

Various LEED certification levels are recognized based off total points.

Lighting control that delivers

Schneider Electric makes buildings sustainable, flexible and energy efficient. Our design and support

teams provide solutions that meld proven technology with the latest control strategies for reducing

energy cost and creating a comfortable, productive environment.

With lighting control from Schneider Electric, you can specify the exact level of performance required

to meet certification goals. Whether you need an entire campus-wide networked system or a single

conference room with multiple lighting scenes and shade control, we have the right solution.

The industry standard

We’ve been designing, manufacturing and supporting results-proven lighting control for more than

20 years. That’s a track record unmatched in the industry. We have the expertise to understand your

LEED project goals and recommend the right solutions.

Getting the most from you

Getting the most from your LEED project requires a lighting control system that delivers much more

than just switching lights “on” and “off.” A properly designed lighting control system will not only

maximize available LEED credits, but also provide years of sustainable savings through a reduction inenergy usage and improved employee productivity.

Sustainable site (SS)

Light pollution reduction (NC: 1 point, EB: 1 point, CI: 1 point, K-12: 1 point, CS: 1 point)

These credits are intended to reduce light trespass from the building site, reduce sky-glow to increase

night sky access, improve night-time visibility through glare reduction and reduce impact on nocturnal

environments. Lighting control from Schneider Electric can be applied to reduce light levels, operate

shades/blinds and switch lights according to automatically adjusting sunset/sunrise schedules.

Energy & atmosphere (EA)

Optimize energy performance (NC: 1-19 points, EB: 1-18 points, CI: 1-5 points, K-12: 1-19 points,CS: 1-21 points)

The focus of these credits are to reduce environmental impact associated with excessive energy

usage. As lighting is often the largest contributor to a building energy usage, lighting control becomes

critical to assure lighting loads are effectively managed. Lighting control from Schneider Electric can be

used to both reduce energy consumption and peak electrical demand.

Note: For commercial interiors an additional 1 to 3 points may be earned for using daylightingcontrols and occupancy sensors

Enhanced commissioning (NC: 2 points, EB: 6 points, CI: 5 points, K-12: 2 points, CS: 2 points)

The focus of these credits are to assure that the commissioning process begins early in the design

process and continues after system performance verification is completed. Schneider Electric providesa wide variety of services from initial design consultation, project management, start-up, and on-going

system monitoring and support to assure your lighting control system is delivering maximum energy

savings and performance.

Note: For existing buildings, 1 point may be earned for implementing a computer based BuildingManagement System to control HVAC and lighting.

System level metering (NC: 3 points, EB: 2 points, CI: 5 points, K-12: 2 points, CS: 3 points)

It’s time to change theway you think…about lighting controls. Use lighting control towards LEEDCertification. Lighting Control provides energy savings as wellas personal comfort and productivity.

point

These credits encourage ongoing optimization of building energy performance over time.

Schneider Electric’s network-based lighting control systems can seamlessly integrate lighting control

and electrical metering functions of a building. These systems share the same communications

infrastructure and are fully able to track metered data by lighting zone, space and building.

Indoor environment quality (IEQ)

Controllability of systems and lighting (NC: 1 point, EB: 1 point, CI: 1 point, K-12: 1 point,CS: 0 point)

Credits for occupant lighting controllability can be earned, utilizing ambient task lighting that can

be altered based on occupant preferences. Lighting control from Schneider Electric offers a host of

occupant controllability from individual offices, large open spaces, even entire buildings. Our C-Bus™

keypads and touch screens blend aesthetically pleasing faceplates with powerful capabilities to

provide convenient occupant comfort. And our advanced web-based lighting controls allow advanced

control capabilities from the convenience of a standard web browser.

Daylight and views (NC: 1-2 points, EB: 1 point, CI: 1-3 points, K-12: 1-4 points, CS: 1-2 points)

These credits are allowed by providing a connection between indoor spaces and the outdoor

environment through the introduction of daylight into regularly occupied areas. Lighting control

solutions from Schneider Electric can aid your design by allowing for controllable window treatments

to be controlled in conjunction with daylight harvesting and integration of time based scheduling.

Innovation in Design (ID)

Innovation in design (NC: 1-5 points, EB: 1-4 points, CI: 1-5 points, K-12: 1-4 points, CS: 1-5 points)

These credits are available to design teams for exceptional performance above the requirements set

by the LEED Green Building Rating System. The use of innovative controls and monitoring systems

to further reduce energy use, prolong equipment life and enhance occupant comfort are examples of

areas the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) will consider.

Making the choice

There are many other ways to gain LEED certification, from water efficiency to the use of

environmentally-friendly materials. But lighting control can be particularly important because it can

touch on several areas within the certification process. Building owners interested in pursuing LEEDcertification are encouraged to consult with architects and consulting engineers who are members of

the USGBC, manufacturers of lighting control equipment and local contractors.

Lighting control from Schneider Electric offers quick payback and ongoing economic benefits, including:

Energy savings•

Reduction in peak demand•

Increased lamp and ballast life•

Improved environmental management and tracking•

Lighting control strategies for LEEDs projects include:

Occupancy-based sensing•

Personal control of lighting•

Scheduled switching•

Daylight harvesting•

Shade and blind control•

Astronomical switching of outdoor lighting•

Demand control switching and dimming•

Integration with other building systems•

Real-time monitoring and verification of system performance•

Lighting is one of the largest culprits of energy waste in buildings. And it takes more than just

energy-efficient lights to significantly reduce your lighting costs. Schneider Electric Lighting Controls

reduce energy costs by as much as 30%, by automatically turning off lighting when it is not in use.It’s also easy to retrofit into existing buildings; and with payback periods often less than two years,

achieve a high return on your investment with Schneider Electric Lighting Controls.
