As well as enhancing comfort, functionality and convenience, Lutron lighting can offer impressive energy savings. Whether you’re looking to reduce the carbon footprint of your home or you want to make commercial premises more eco-friendly, our team can help you reduce your energy consumption with a bespoke automated lighting system. To find out how Lutron lighting can reduce the environmental impact of your property, take a look at these top 5 energy-saving benefits now.

Adaptive Dimming Saves More Than You Think

When looking at the top 5 energy-saving benefits, dimming Lutron lighting can save a substantial amount of electricity, but the benefits don’t stop there. Dimming Lutron lights by 10% will save approximately 10% of electricity, and dimming a light by 50% saves a whopping 40% of electricity, but you can increase these energy savings by relying on adaptive dimming to optimise your environment.

Adaptive dimming uses external factors, such as ambient lighting or motion, to adjust the lighting levels accordingly. With adaptive dimming, you can rely on automation to adjust interior and exterior lights in response to natural sunlight, for example. Similarly, motion sensors can be used to integrate adaptive dimming so that lights are automatically reduced or turned off when no one is in a particular room.

Smart Schedules Cut Energy Waste

Customising your lighting schedule to match your lifestyle can eliminate energy waste and make your property infinitely more sustainable. From tailored presets to turn lights on and off at particular times to intuitive lighting that responds to occupancy or daylight, it’s easy to enjoy effortless energy reductions when you integrate Lutron lighting systems into your home or workspace.

As well as increasing energy efficiency, smart schedules provide a hassle-free way to maintain optimal conditions in and around your home. Whatever lighting levels or scenes you prefer, customised schedules can be implemented to ensure they are activated automatically. Whether you’re entertaining, relaxing, studying or working, Lutron’s intelligent automation will create the optimal environment while saving energy.

Integrating with Daylight Sensors

‘Daylight harvesting’ relies on sensors to process data relating to environmental conditions, such as natural or ambient lighting. Your Lutron smart system then uses this information to automatically adjust the lighting in each room or space.

When the sun is bright on longer, summer days, for example, you may be less reliant on indoor lighting in rooms that are illuminated by natural light. With daylight sensors, you can ensure that lights aren’t left on needlessly, thus reducing energy usage.

Remote Access to Reduce Forgotten Energy Use

With a smart lighting system, you no longer need to be in your property to adjust the lighting levels. Instead, Lutron’s user-friendly app gives you all the control you need, no matter where you are in the world.

Instead of rushing from room to room to turn off lights before you leave the property, you can simply check that the lights are off when you’re out and about. What’s more, intuitive controls mean you can adjust the lighting in specific rooms, zones or throughout the entire property with just one tap.

Long-Term Energy Benefits for Modern Homes

Lutron lighting systems can deliver long-term benefits in any home, with occupancy sensors and adaptive lighting estimated to reduce lighting electricity consumption by a staggering 50% over an entire year.

Already, Lutron is saving more than 10 billion kWh of energy each year, and every home that integrates a Lutron smart lighting system into its management can add to these savings.
