CBEA Troffer Draft Specification Released with Energy saving
Posted by dimonoff in Uncategorized on January 18, 2012
According to the US Department of Energy (DOE) Commercial Building Energy Alliance (CBEA) Lighting Project Team : “Energy savings compared to typical troffers range from 15-45% on a one-for-one basis and up to 75% with the use of controls”

Daylight Zones: Sidelighted Spaces
Posted by dimonoff in Uncategorized on October 13, 2011
Once more a very interesting article from Craig Dilouie published by LCA. http://lightingcontrolsassociation.org/daylight-zones-sidelighted-spaces/
Extract:
Daylight zones are increasingly being determined by codes and standards, however, notably the ICC’s 2009 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) (model energy code), ASHRAE/IES 90.1-2010 (model energy code), ASHRAE 189.1-2009 (model green building code) and California’s Title 24-2008 (state energy code). These codes and standards all require that daylight zones be established adjacent to sidelighting apertures, and general lighting in these zones be separately controlled from other lighting.
DimOnOff offers products versatile and flexible enough to help you meet those requirements, allowing you to create and modify zoning on the fly in new and exiting environments without running any new wiring.
Our dedicated engineering team, is alert and responsive to new market requirements. They were quick to include that latest features to meet New York Local Law 48 that added a grace period after lights out to keep the motion sensor enabled and allow auto-on during that grace period.
DimOnOff: Two new EnOcean based products to be introduced at Greenbuild Expo
Posted by dimonoff in Uncategorized on September 29, 2011
DimOnOff introduces a unique inline dimmer capable of controlling up to 15amps of incandescent and Halogen (MR16 type) lamps, phase angle dimmable ballasts (such as Mark X from Philips) or LED lamps on voltage ranging from 120 to 347V (Note: a 20 amps model is also available on special order). This is the first of its kind in the EnOcean products portfolio.
A second innovation brings a newly added feature to an already very powerful product of the DimOnOff family called INT-ADR-XB. Released earlier this year, the INT-ADR-XB is a compact interface to add addressability, digital and analog inputs, long range wireless networkability and intelligence to leading market-standard power pack / relays modules (such as Hubbell – Leviton – Wattstopper).
This new integration allows multiple EnOcean wireless battery-less rocker switches to be directly associated with the INT-ADR-XB and makes things even simpler for installers by getting rid of the low voltage wiring required to locally connect a low voltage switch to the INT-ADR-XB. This makes the INT-ADR-XB-EO a wirelessly networkable controller with built in daylight harvesting and motion-sensing functions that provides high end features such as step down dimming before off, multi-masters/multi-slaves approach, BACnet integration, remote commissioning and can benefit from the versatility of the complete DimOnOff solution.
Both Models of the INT-ADR-XB comply with the requirements of New York Local Law 48 (NY LL48), providing manual ON, Auto-OFF and a grace period for Auto-ON.

EnOcean Alliance Members DimOnOff and Leviton to Showcase Wireless Lighting Control Technologies at LIGHTFAIR
Posted by dimonoff in Uncategorized on May 16, 2011
Live Demonstrations in EnOcean Alliance Booth #2345
SAN RAMON, CA – May 16, 2011
During LIGHTFAIR International (LFI), held May 17-19 in Philadelphia, EnOcean Alliance partners DimOnOff and Leviton will showcase their collaboration on the development of a bi-directional wireless interface that drastically simplifies the pairing of EnOcean sensor modules and LevNet RF relays. The EnOcean Alliance is a consortium of companies working to standardize and internationalize energy harvesting wireless technology for green intelligent buildings. DimOnOff will be providing a live demonstration of this remote management at the EnOcean Alliance booth (#2345).
DimOnOff, an innovative Quebec, Canada-based company, is focused on maximizing the performance and flexibility of its wireless lighting control and automation product line by simplifying installation and minimizing total cost of ownership. The realization of remote management, which involves both remote commissioning and control, further enhances wireless capabilities and creates new opportunities not previously possible with energy harvesting devices.
The DimOnOff-EnOcean bidirectional interface simplifies pairing between EnOcean sensor modules (including single and double rocker switches, lux sensors, motion sensors) and LevNet RF relays (such as WSS10-UZ and WSS10-GUZ) by requiring each unit to be recognized only once. Afterward, association between sensors and relays becomes completely virtual, therefore eliminating the requirement for numerous, and often complex, push-button pairing. Additionally, this novel method allows dynamic creation of groups for LevNet RF relays through local or off-site remote commissioning.
The DimOnOff software platform enables full control of the LevNet RF relays through a state-of-the-art graphical user interface that can accommodate multiple users, sites and platforms. Included in DimOnOff’s solution is a comprehensive scheduling system that enables and disables interaction between LevNet RF sensors and controls LevNet RF relays, based on rules and conditions. Bi-directional interfacing to any third party BACnet system using BACnet over IP is also supported.
There are numerous benefits associated with this virtual platform, including flexible and intelligent control, automation and monitoring for commercial, institutional and industrial applications. This solution, that represents a key element of the next generation for building energy management, can integrate daylight harvesting features, smart grid demand and response programs and web-based control and monitoring from computing devices and smart phones. In situations where long distances prevent a sensor from reaching a relay(s), the DimOnOff’s bi-directional interface system can rely instead on the capabilities of DimOnOff’s multi-technology routing by utilizing power line or IP-based technologies.
By establishing enhanced functionality like remote management and TCP/IP interoperability with its wireless, battery-less enabled end-devices and their associated IP-based control systems, the EnOcean Alliance offers a complete building management solution for optimal energy and operational efficiency. Building owners and facility managers can now monitor, manage, and control these systems centrally and from any web-enabled device, from anywhere in the world.

Posted by dimonoff in Uncategorized on March 23, 2011
L’une des usines du Groupe Canam inc. est localisée àSaint-Gédéon-de-Beauce, et se spécialise dans la fabricationde poutrelles d’acier. C’est le 5 mai 1961 que débuta laproduction dans l’usine qui n’occupait alors que 12 000pieds carrés. Depuis ce temps, l’usine a grandi et lesbesoins y ont changé… entre autres, en termes d’éclairage !Voyons comment, en 2010, les dirigeants de l’usine ont eul’idée d’effectuer une mise à jour des installations, puis sontpassés à l’action !
