Case Studies / Whitepapers & Research:

1.      New White Paper Explores Best Practices for High Performance Buildings - WattStopper and Durell Control Systems have published a new white paper examining best practices for control systems integration in high performance buildings. The paper uses case studies to explore how project partners can successfully collaborate with design and construction teams, focusing on two recently completed high performance buildings in London, Ontario, Canada. Building owners can take away several valuable ideas from the white paper, such as the importance of including control vendors and integrators early in the design process, as well as the benefits possible from using open protocol solutions. http://www.wattstopper.com/about-us/whitepaper.aspx#.UwfX_6aYZD9

2.      New GATEWAY Report - Pedestrian Friendly Outdoor Lighting - Follows two pedestrian-scale lighting projects that required multiple mockups --  one at Stanford University in California and the other at Chautauqua Institution in upstate New York --  to gain insight into what those criteria might be, how they differ from street and area lighting applications, and how solid-state lighting can be better applied in pedestrian applications. The report is based on formal and informal surveys and observations from neighborhood residents and pedestrians, feedback from experienced facility design and engineering professionals, personal observations and discussions of lighting designers and engineers, and input from researchers and scientists. http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/publications/pdfs/ssl/2013_gateway_pedestrian.pdf
