1. A steady flow of about 300 guests created
an enthusiastic buzz while milling
through Watt Stopper/Legrand’s highly
successful GreenFair on July 25. Over 30
exhibitors were on hand at the company’s
Santa Clara, CA headquarters to share
information on environmentally friendly
products and services, such as building
components made from reclaimed
materials, electric vehicles, recycling
programs, commute alternatives, and
organic food, wine and pet supplies.

Watt Stopper President Jerry Mix greeted
early attendees, explaining that the fair
was the work of the company’s employees
who wanted to find green solutions for
their own lives and share their findings
with the community. Mix then introduced
speakers Santa Clara Mayor Patricia
Mahan, Los Gatos Mayor Barbara Spector
and San Jose Energy Officer Jessie
Denver. All three leaders spoke of their
individual and government support for
environmental action, including such
goals as reducing per capita energy use
and attracting new clean jobs.
Excerpted from a case study on line @ www.wattstopper.com
Principals and associates at The
Lighting Practice, a design firm based
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have
long advocated sustainable design, and
have recently had the opportunity to
take their own advice. While planning a
move that was completed in June 2007,
they designed tenant improvements
incorporating energy saving lighting
controls that exceeded code requirements
and let them demonstrate best practices
to customers.
Associate Principal Julie Panassow and
Lighting Designer Pomme Suchato were
responsible for lighting the new space,
and they selected a lighting control
panel, occupancy sensors and daylighting
controls from Watt Stopper/Legrand to
achieve their goals.
Lighting control applications
A Lighting Integrator Panel and Dataline
Switches were specified to control a
variety of fluorescent, LED and low voltage
lighting in the reception area, the kitchen
and a conference room. The system is
set up for manual-on
control with scheduled
off times preceded by a
warning sweep.
The manual-on control
strategy saves more
energy than strict
scheduling, because
people arrive at
different times each
day. This solution
ensures that lighting is
not turned on in each
room until it is needed.
Private offices, the
office library and a support area housing
archives were equipped with passive
infrared (PIR) occupancy sensors set for
manual-on operation. Sensors were

FEATURED PRODUCTS: New Decorator Style Momentary Switches Now Available
In response to market requests for two-
position and seven-position low voltage
decorator style products, Watt Stopper
is introducing two new Miro Decorator
Momentary Switches, the DCC2 and
DCC7. Each device features an LED
indicator/pilot light, is available in four
colors and is compatible with other Miro
Decorator style products
The DCC2 Miro Decorator Low Voltage
Momentary Switch is an attractive 3-wire
switch that can control our relay panels,
as an alternative to our LVS and RS2
series switches which are still carried
in inventory. Additionally, the DCC2 can
provide a momentary on/off signal to
third-party products or can be used as
a two-wire momentary input for Watt
Stopper manual-on occupancy sensors
or power packs.
The DCC7 Miro Decorator Seven-button
Low Voltage Momentary Switch controls
any device that requires multiple contact
closures, such as Watt Stopper control
panels and third-party color-changing
LED systems, electronically controlled
shades and devices that interface
with DALI, DMX or systems requiring
dry contact closures. The DCC7’s five
buttons and two-position paddle provide
seven contact closure points which can
be wired to another manufacturer’s
contact closure interface for controlling
motorized shades. For example, each
button could move the shade to a preset
position and the large paddle can serve
as a master raise/lower.

ASHRAE in Action
Wabash Electric is using Watt Stopper/Legrand’s Miro Wireless RF
Controls to effectively market lighting products and curtail energy
use in the company’s Ft. Wayne, Indiana, Lighting Design Center,
one of the largest lighting showrooms in the state. About 720 lighting
fixtures are displayed in 90 clouds throughout the facility, and the
lights were originally controlled by industrial
pull chains. Circuit breakers for the clouds had
to be manually switched on and off before and
after store hours. Energy costs for both lighting
and cooling exceeded expectations, and so a
retrofitable control solution was sought.
Now, a Miro Plug-in Lamp or Appliance Module
controls each fixture, enabling remote dimming
and switching as well as programmed scene
control. The programmed control reduces
energy use and creates interest for buyers by
cycling preset lighting scenes showcasing a variety of fixtures. At
the same time, intuitive handheld controls allow salespeople and
customers to turn on selected fixture groups for inspection at any
time. The result is a superior sales presentation and energy savings
of approximately 60%.
Time-based and manual control
Bruce Monce, controls specialist for Wabash, programmed the
devices, which include a Miro Room Scene Interface and Time Clock
for automatic control and five Touch Screens for manual control.
He broke the lighting into 20 zones and preset five scenes per zone.
The Time Clock initiates the scene control a half hour before the
showroom opens, and changes scenes every hour. All the display
lighting is automatically turned off an hour after closing and is
programmed to be off on holidays and weekends.
Each Touch Screen provides individual control of 30 groups of four or
five fixtures. Straightforward labeling, including
cloud number and fixture numbers, makes
it easy for anyone to activate selected lights.
Customers are encouraged to carry a Touch
Screen around with them as they shop. Monce
reports that not only are fixture sales up, but
control sales have improved too, as customers
realize the powerful options available.
Because Miro uses Watt Stopper/Legrand’s
RF communications protocol (Topdog™), no
control wiring had to be run to the clouds, and
the Touch Screens are wireless as well. The
only control wiring needed for the installation was between the Time
Clock and the Room Scene Interface, which are located under the
sales counter for easy access. They are out of the way, but can easily
be shown to customers who want demonstrations.
The Time Clock-activated scenes ensure that display lighting left on
by customers is periodically restored to preset levels both to enhance
the look of the showroom and prevent energy waste. Additional
energy savings were achieved by relamping half of the display
lighting with CFLs. The total lighting load was reduced from 43,200
watts to 28,620 watts.

experience very sporadic occupancy.
CX-100 sensors were chosen for the
library and archives, while WPIRs were
selected for the offices.
W-2000 Ultrasonic Occupancy Sensors
are layered with LS-301 Dimming
Photosensors to control two-lamp direct/
indirect fixtures with Advance Mark
VII ballasts in an open office area. The
space has windows on three sides of the
building and is split into north, south and
west control zones because each side of
the building receives significantly different
amounts of daylight.
Choosing Watt Stopper/Legrand
Watt Stopper products were selected
because of the company’s excellent
track record, both for product quality and
service. Ms. Suchato notes, “The sales
and technical support are superb. They
are always happy to help us and work
with us to find the best solutions for every
space.”
The Lighting Practice recently used its
new office to host a client open house
that showcased the company’s work
and illustrated to customers the kinds
of solutions they could enjoy on their
projects.
Exceeding code requirements
The lighting design for this new space,
which is on the seventh floor of an historic
building in downtown Philadelphia, had
to meet the ASHRAE 90.1-2004 energy
standard. However, The Lighting Practice
personnel felt compelled to exceed code
requirements and earn LEED certification
for the project. An application for LEED
Silver certification is pending.
Final calculations show that the designers
managed to bring in the project with a
connected load that is 20% less than
was allowed by code. “The controls help
us save even more energy by keeping
the lights off until they’re needed
and ensuring that they don’t stay on
unnecessarily,” concludes Suchato.
