For decades, fluorescent lighting was the dominant light source in commercial buildings, but over the last 10 years, energy-efficient, long-lasting LEDs have become the de facto choice for new projects and lighting upgrades. The transformation to LEDs continues at a rapid pace—fluorescent bulbs are being phased out and the federal government banned the sale of most incandescent and halogen bulbs, as of Aug. 1, 2023.

To steal a phrase from the 1967 film The Graduate, I want to say one word: Connected! In the quest for buildings that are ever more sustainable and human-centric, cloud-connected lighting systems collect and communicate data to help architects and designers improve space use, increase energy efficiency, and add value for owners and tenants. Connected systems are already part of our everyday lives. EV technology, for example, is changing today’s driving experience.

Smart, connected buildings aren’t limited to offices or data centers; they are increasingly being used to improve the occupant experience in hotel properties as well. To help streamline hospitality operations, Lutron Electronics recently introduced its new myRoom XC enhanced guestroom solution. The cloud-connected hospitality platform allows integrated management of all areas of the property, including guestrooms, public areas, event spaces, and private residences, via a single dashboard.
