Projector collaborators: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and Dallas Semiconductor
Objective: To demonstrate an integrated building equipment communications network that will allow effective control of lighting and other electrical systems in a building to increase energy efficiency, improve building performance and enhance occupant comfort, satisfaction, and performance. The Integrated Building Environmental Communications System (IBECS) being developed by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) will provide facilities managers with the networking infrastructure and Internet-based tools to manage building electrical loads with confidence while allowing occupants supervised control of local lighting.
