We have had success changing the specification to place lighting control into the scope of work of the control contractor. This eliminates any integration uncertainty and associated premiums. In addition to these tremendous benefits it is also driving some innovative sequences with lighting, HVAC, and security/access control. LEED and other programs are making this easier, but we are still early in the adoption process. http://www.lumisys.com/PRODUCTS_IDH_MINT.html Wed, 14 May 2008 13:32:28 -0400
