Welcome to LEDs Magazine’s Connected SSL & Controls newsletter for April 10, 2023. From a personal perspective, I can appreciate that sometimes the most important concerns with delivering functional indoor spaces involve the outdoor conditions and daylight, which can be out of our control…to a point. In a recent magazine issue, writer Alex Pluemer explored how responsive LED lighting and hardware can be combined with software-driven building controls, shading, and even glazing treatments to balance electric and natural illumination and the associated indoor climate conditions for occupants. It’s highly interesting to me as I have access to an office space with lots of windows, but the ability to fine-tune our experience based on changing daytime conditions would be a level up from where we are right now.

Also in this issue:

• Lighting Controls Association education director Craig DiLouie encapsulates several ways to begin with networked lighting controls.
• We’ve also highlighted an excellent information resource from the LCA as one of our trusted media partners. If you’re running into NLC questions and need a little more general guidance, visit the linked page for a helpful guide on common issues.
• Browse timely and targeted content from Endeavor Business Media colleagues on smart buildings, decarbonization, and a use case on progress toward net zero goals.
