GOOD NEWS
Daylight Harvesting is easily adapted to existing architecture and need not require an expensive overhaul.
Most buildings already include windows where natural light is present during normal business hours. Simply install new lighting with
sensors pre-placed within the luminaires and start taking advantage of nature's lighting bounty today.

It makes sense to use Alera's Practical Sensor options to simplify installation, add value to the project, and improve
sustainable design for commercial indoor lighting projects.

CODE COMPLIANCE
Does your state require Daylight Harvesting today? Will it tomorrow?
States will be required to update their energy codes to meet or exceed the ASHRAE 90.1-2010 by October 2013
1
. ASHRAE 90.1 requires
control when daylight from toplighting (skylights) or sidelighting (windows) is present. This new standard applies to daylight areas
exceeding 900ft
2
for toplighting areas or 250ft
2
for sidelighting areas. Control must be multi-level with continuous dimming or at least
two output levels from 0–35% and 50–75%.
In addition, ASHRAE 90.1-2010 lowers the allowable power density for commercial, educational, and institutional spaces, meaning that
the type of lighting installed must be energy efficient and inherently sustainable. Alera Lighting products fit this requirement with typical
efficiencies above 90%.
ASHRAE 90.1-2010
•
States must meet, but many may
choose to exceed requirements
• Daylighting and occupancy control
requirements increase dramatically
• Not limited to new construction—
alterations of a space by 10% or
more require code compliance
