November 6, 2023, San Francisco CA: Clifton Lemon Associates today announced that California’s Pacific Gas & Electric Company will present a free webinar on the growing importance of building controls integration in the process of building-grid connection, load management, decarbonization, and electrification.
Titled Lighting and Smart, Grid-Integrated Buildings, the webinar presents a history and overview of building controls integration in both commercial and residential sectors; explains the relationship between smart buildings and grid interconnection; identifies opportunities for lighting and other building professionals to learn more about systems integration; explores the requirements for developing systems integrator training; and describes opportunities and benefits of systems integration for building owners and operators, including longer asset life, health, productivity, energy resilience, and energy efficiency.
California leads the nation in new transitions in energy management: energy resilience; load management; building-grid interconnection; and decarbonization. The essential infrastructure for these transitions includes distributed generation, advanced storage, smart networks, energy data architecture standards and mechanisms, and especially smart buildings. Building systems integration is a driving force in smart buildings, and lighting controls play an important role in their development. The residential and commercial sectors have different rates of adoption for controls integration, but the emerging discipline of system integrator will play a key role California’s energy future.

The Broad’s lighting design draws on its architectural theme of “the veil and the vault” – a reference to both the museum’s public exhibition space and its storage area for archived items. After dark, the cellular exoskeleton – the veil – appears to hover inside the enclose, which lifts up at the corners where lobby entrances are located.
