New York, NY.................When a mock-up confirmed that the GE Total Lighting ControlDimming Control System met the lighting control specifications forthe building and was cost effective, the new GE Lighting Systems,Inc. technology was selected to replace the system originally specifiedfor the new Zuckerman Research Center on the campus of MemorialSloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) here.

The new, 23 story, 558,000 square foot building on New York’sUpper East Side, is named for Mortimer B. Zuckerman, publisher, realestate developer and MSKCC board member to acknowledge his $100million commitment towards the center. The building achieves twokey institutional priorities; accommodating a near doubling of thenumber of the Center’s research laboratories and, at the same time,strengthens ties between basic scientif ic research and cl inicalapplications.

The building, together with a planned second structure onthe same site, is expected to be among the first research buildings inthe country to receive certification from LEED (Leadership in Energyand Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System™, abenchmark standard developed by the U.S. Green Building Council.“We worked closely with the project architect and the building ownerto develop the energy plan for this Green Building, with a goal ofreducing energy use some 20 percent,” explained Tom Carmiciano,electrical engineer-Constentini & Associates, New York. “After wecompleted work on the heat recovery system, variable speed drivesand variable air condition system for the structure, we focused onbuilding lighting.

“Originally, the building owner wanted to use a traditionaltime clock with override switches for the multi-story building, includingthe 18 modular ‘wet’ laboratory units on each laboratory floor.However, our evaluation showed that this would result in too muchflexibility for the staff and not meet the energy reduction goal.

“We ultimately agreed upon a programmable control systemwith motion detectors for the whole building that would allow MSKCCto meet their energy goals, while allowing the researchers to extendtheir work hours on an as needed basis.”

The GE Total Lighting Control Dimming Control System inthe Zuckerman Research Center incorporates multiple DaylightOptimization Modules, each one can control up to 3200 fixtures.The modules are networked together using Ethernet or RS-485 wiring.The lighting control system is managed from a desktop computeroperating with Windows-based software. The three phase, 277/480-volt system is programmed to operate from 7AM to 9PM, with motiondetectors installed to activate lighting during off hours and in smalloffice spaces.

“Our lighting design for the building was impacted by a numberof factors,” said Michael Hennes, senior associate-Cline BettridgeBernstein Lighting Design Inc. New York. “First we had to meet the

energy conservation goals of the LEED program. Second,because of the location of the building, in a residential areaon the Upper East Side of Manhattan and the glass exterior ofthe tower, area residents were concerned about the impact ofspill l ight into the neighborhood. Finally, we had toaccommodate the needs of the MSKCC staff who work in thebuilding.”

Using light f ixtures that focus minimal light on theceilings and maximum light on the work surfaces, Hennesselected a light harvesting system, with motion detectors forwork after the programmed workday, as part of his lightingdesign. His evaluation showed that this type system could beprogrammed to offer maximum flexibility for energymanagement, while providing a quality work environment.

“After we had selected another light harvesting system,”Hennes noted, “we learned that GE Lighting Systems Inc. wasintroducing their TLC Dimming Control System. When I sawa ‘mock-up’ of the GE system and learned we could use it inour design just by adding a converter to interface with thethree wire dimming system we had specified, we replaced theoriginal system with the new GE TLC system.”

Jim Shomilak headed the team from GE LightingSystems independent representative, Brazill Brothers, whoworked with multiple electrical contractors on the ZuckermanResearch Center project. The team was responsible for systemprogramming and operator training. GE Technical Support,provided special expertise to the start-up team.

“The GE TLC Dimming Control System was cost effectiveand provided the project with the digital, centralized controlsystem we wanted,” Hennes said. “It also has the capability tomanage the lighting system planned for the seven-storybuilding being constructed on the site adjacent to thismagnificent building.”

The GE Total Lighting Control Dimming ControlSystem was developed from GE’s many years of experiencecreating on/off lighting control systems. It features 0-10 VDCballast control, BAS network compatibility, controllerarchitectures that allows up to seven modules, resulting inmanagement of up to 3,200 fixtures per controller. It offerssimple installation with intuitive software setup and iscompatible with the GE Remote Operating Circuit BreakerLighting Control Panel and other BACnet systems.

The new Tempur-Pedic manufacturing plant in Albuquerque, New Mexico covers 18acres under one roof, the second largest non-governmental building in the state. Theinterior and exterior lighting is controlled by eight GE Total Lighting Control A-SeriesLighting Control Panels. The panels are networked and managed by windows-basedgraphic software.

Field Facts

Albuquerque, NM.................Originally SMPC Architects, Albuquerque, New Mexico designeda $50 million, 530,000 sq. ft . factory to manufacture 50,000 Tempur-Pedic high end mattresses and bed products per year at thecompany’s new plant on the Westside of Albuquerque.

However, business for Tempur-Pedic mattresses was boomingand company management decided to expand the plant even beforeit was built . The final result was a plant, 700,000 sq. ft , twice the sizeof the company’s plants in Virginia and Denmark. When completed,the new facility will be the second largest non-governmental buildingin New Mexico, 18 acres under one roof.

Tempur-Pedic, which went public in late 2003, uses materialdeveloped in the early 1970’s by NASA to help protect astronautsfrom incredible G forces produced in a rocket lift off. The material,which has been refined, distributes body weight more evenly than aspring mattress and conforms to the user’s body.

Don Blumfield, senior electrical designer at Bridges & Paxton,Albuquerque had the responsibility to develop the design andspecifications for the lighting control system to be installed in thenew plant .

Originally, Tempur-Pedic plant management wanted a simplelighting control system for the new plant. They asked Blumfield toduplicate the mechanical system that had been installed at theirVirginia plant , a multiple switch and contactor system.

However, Blumf ield recommended that he run a valueengineering study to determine if there was a more modern,automated system available that could also meet Tempur-Pedicneeds. Based on the results of the study, the senior electrical designerselected GE Total Lighting Control A-Series Lighting Control Panelsfor the design.

The study showed that the GE Remote Operated CircuitBreakers (ROCB) reduced energy costs by providing control at thebreakers. The integration of the controllers in the panels lowers

installation costs and provides valuable space savings overtraditional external panels. The A-Series lighting controlpanels can stand alone or be networked in a building lightingcontrol system like the one used in the Tempur-Pedic plant.

The GE Total Lighting Control panels feature openprotocols, Native BACnet and Mobus, 16 lighting groups ofcontrol, self diagnostics and a real time Astronomical clock. Itoffers 16 time-of-the-day on/off scheduling, leap year anddaylight savings time scheduling and load prioritymanagement that enables setting load shed levels on eachindividual breaker.

GE Supply (Gexpro) Company, Albuquerque worked veryclosely on the project with the electrical contractor DKD Electric-Albuquerque, as well as Tempur-Pedic plant staff. GE wasresponsible for plant software startup activities and completedtheir work in just two days.

Las Vegas, NV.................When the electrical contractor began to develop a lightingdesign for the design/build Watermark Executive Suites, the recentlyadopted IECC 2003 regulation significantly impacted their design.

To meet the new code’s 50% reduction in light levelrequirement in new building construction, the electrical contractordecided to use occupancy sensors in all the offices in the building.

The design/build team then began to develop a lightingcontrol plan for all the common space in the structure including theentry/reception area, hallways and the executive conference room.They wanted the system they ultimately installed to also meet theIECC2003 regulations and have a time clock to manage the hours ofoperation of the lighting in the “common areas.”

Lastly, the lighting control system installed had to be easy toprogram and modify as activities and outside influences impact onthe building.

The SolutionInitially, the contractor, Spec Electric LLC-Las Vegas, NV,

evaluated the latest in lighting control technology including atraditional time clock managed control system. They wanted a systemthat could be programmed for off hours during the week, plusweekends, holidays, etc.

During this evaluation process, Jim Healey, CED-Las Vegas suggested that they also evaluate the newly introducedGE Code Control Lighting Control Panel by GE Total LightingControl. Healey, with technical support from Pete Porte, the GE TotalLighting Control regional sales manager, explained that the new GElighting control system was competitively priced with other low cost ,basic control options now available.

He also explained that the GE system was factory assembledand tested before shipment, included eight RR7 relays for control,offered up to 8 monitoring inputs, dual programmable channels,plus a digital time clock with a 7 day, 24 hour, 365 day functionality.Additionally, it could handle up to 36 holidays.

The CED/GE team explained that the low-cost GE lightingcontrol system met ASHRAE 90.1 requirements and was CaliforniaTitle 24 compliant . They pointed out that it operates on dual voltageinput, 120 or 277, and the time clock is accessible without openingthe panel cover. Finally, they noted that the time clock could beremoved for programming.

“The GE system is so easy to program. When we had to changethe program, I read the instruction manual and one of the otheradministrative assistants just followed the directions. It was quickand easy.” Debbie, Administrative Assistant-Watermark Executive Suites

Ithaca, NY……………..Since 1978, the Library Annex at Cornell University has beena storage facility for lesser used books, journals and archive materials.

Recently, it was expanded to allow an additional one and one-half

million volumes to be stored in the state-of-the art, environmentallycontrolled facility.

“Our part of the expansion,” explained Charles Wilson,President-C.R.Wilson Engineering, “was to design a lighting system

that reduced energy use, while providing a safe work environment

for Library staff.

“Our concept was to place the building in what I call an ‘idle

mode’. In this mode, lighting is at ‘worker safety’ level. When someoneenters an aisle, an occupancy sensor detects motion and the lighting

level is increased to ‘full on’. When the aisle is vacated, after a

predetermined time, the light level will drop back to the ‘worker safety’level.”

Wilson had two key criteria for his system. It had to have theability to assign input circuits to specific output circuits. It also had

to include astronomical calculations. Of the two finalists in Wilson’s

evaluation, the GE A-Series Lighting Control Panel had an integratedcontroller, thereby offering Wilson more flexibility in system design.

The GE lighting control system installed at the Cornell LibraryAnnex incorporates four panels of Remote Operated Circuit Breakers

(ROCB). With the GE leading-edge system, there is no need for a

master/slave panel arrangement to meet Wilson’s design objectives.

Field Facts

Ithaca, NY……………..Since 1978, the Library Annex at Cornell University has beena storage facility for lesser used books, journals and archive materials.

Recently, it was expanded to allow an additional one and one-half

million volumes to be stored in the state-of-the art, environmentallycontrolled facility.

“Our part of the expansion,” explained Charles Wilson,President-C.R.Wilson Engineering, “was to design a lighting system

that reduced energy use, while providing a safe work environment

for Library staff.

“Our concept was to place the building in what I call an ‘idle

mode’. In this mode, lighting is at ‘worker safety’ level. When someoneenters an aisle, an occupancy sensor detects motion and the lighting

level is increased to ‘full on’. When the aisle is vacated, after a

predetermined time, the light level will drop back to the ‘worker safety’level.”

Wilson had two key criteria for his system. It had to have theability to assign input circuits to specific output circuits. It also had

to include astronomical calculations. Of the two finalists in Wilson’s

evaluation, the GE A-Series Lighting Control Panel had an integratedcontroller, thereby offering Wilson more flexibility in system design.

The GE lighting control system installed at the Cornell LibraryAnnex incorporates four panels of Remote Operated Circuit Breakers

(ROCB). With the GE leading-edge system, there is no need for a

master/slave panel arrangement to meet Wilson’s design objectives.

GE personnel provided system start-up services. “As soon as

the GE technician f inished, “ Wilson noted proudly, “the systemoperated perfectly and still does.”
