Crestron Changes the Way the World Designs, Installs, and Starts up Commercial Lighting Control

Posted on Wednesday, April 22, 2015

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
