Rockleigh,
NJ, April 22, 2015 – Crestron is changing
the way lighting control systems are designed, specified, and installed with
the new SpaceBuilder™ space-first, design-based solutions. LIGHTFAIR®
2015 attendees will get an exclusive look at SpaceBuilder at Crestron booth #
830. Crestron will showcase SpaceBuilder design tools, product installations,
and live commissioning demonstrations.
Commercial buildings require sophisticated control systems to manage lighting
and automation for every space. Typically, hundreds of hours are spent
designing these systems. This process causes delays early in the project and
confusion later on – until now. Crestron SpaceBuilder is the fastest way to design,
install, and start up commercial lighting controls for any size building or
system.
The advantages of a
SpaceBuilder system include:
- Faster quotes
- Faster submittals
- Comprehensive packaging and
streamlined delivery system
- Simplified wiring and installation
- Fewer components and logistics
- Pre-programmed operations
- Faster commissioning and start
up
- Seamless networking
“SpaceBuilder simplifies lighting control from beginning to end. We’ve
created six SpaceBuilder solutions to accommodate every need – from single room
systems to entire building-wide systems,” says Brian Daley, Crestron Vice
President, Sales, Commercial Lighting. “This approach enables lighting
specifiers and designers to work more effectively and efficiently. It will
truly revolutionize lighting control design, installation, and start-up.”
Space-based design
With SpaceBuilder, lighting controls are designed on a space-first basis,
reducing the complexity of building-first designs and saving time and money
every step of the way. An online system filter helps even the novice designer
to select the optimal Crestron system for their application. The accompanying
automated configuration worksheets help to quickly complete the system design
for a single space-type and can easily be copied for other similar spaces in
the building. Designers no longer need to worry about knowing the product model
numbers or technology specifications. All they need to know are the lighting
requirements for the specific space.
For years, lighting control design was perceived to be overly complicated to
the extent that many specifiers were not comfortable doing their own lighting
control design. This led to over-specification and over-design, which increased
the cost of the entire project. SpaceBuilder eliminates this perceived
complexity and simplifies the design by focusing on one space at a time.
Simplified delivery
and installation
In addition to improving efficiencies for the design community, SpaceBuilder
simplifies the delivery and installation process for the contractor. Rather
than searching through pallets of dimmers, sensors, and keypads in a remote
staging area, installers get one box for each room that contains all the
components, technical information, and wiring diagrams needed to complete the
installation.
After installation, the contractor energizes the system and it immediately
functions. Every Space Builder system arrives in its own box pre-programmed
during production. It’s not necessary for a field tech or programmer to visit
the site to program the system.
Eliminates the need
for custom programming
SpaceBuilder enables commissioning and startup of an entire project in record
time so the building can be occupied faster.
Building Integration
When it’s time to start up an entire building, SpaceBuilder systems network
together seamlessly for master control, integratin
