Background

The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Los Angeles is a prominent establishment responsible for promoting cultural and economic ties. To keep up with its mission of modernity and sustainability, the office decided to upgrade its lighting infrastructure. The goal was to adopt an intelligent system that not only saves energy but also provides intuitive control to its staff and visitors.

Objectives

The project aimed to: 

• Provide wireless lighting control with flexibility for different zones and offices. 

• Achieve energy efficiency and operational simplicity. 

• Ensure compliance with California Title 24 standards 

• Ensure compatibility with modern devices and future expansions. 

• Enable centralized monitoring and management of all lighting fixtures. 

Challenges:

Upgrading an existing government facility always comes with a few hurdles. One of the key challenges was integrating smart lighting controls without altering the building’s structure. The team also had to ensure consistent wireless connectivity across multiple floors and varied room layouts. Choosing the right mix of devices that could handle both general and task lighting needs was another crucial factor. And above all, the solution had to preserve the clean, professional look of the space without visible wiring or bulky installations. 

Solutions

Radiar AF10 – 2 channel AC powered 0-10V fixture controller 
Radiar AF10 controllers were deployed across the facility to manage both intensity and color temperature of lighting. Their dual-channel 0-10V outputs allowed fine-tuned control for various spaces, enabling energy-efficient operation and creating comfortable ambiences tailored for office zones. 

PSC-DM-WS-100-BLE-WS – 1 button mesh wall controller 
These controllers enhanced localized lighting automation by enabling on-demand dimming and switching. Ideal for multi-use areas, they provided intuitive manual control while supporting automated schedules for better energy management. 

WS-NA0-02-08W – Smart 8 Button Panel 
The 8-button Bluetooth panel was configured to activate different lighting scenes for conference rooms and common areas. With a sleek design and wireless connectivity, it provided staff with easy control at their fingertips. 

Enor E – Gateway with RTC, Ethernet & Astronomical Clock 
Enor E served as the heart of the system, connecting all devices to the Lumos Controls cloud. It enabled facility managers to schedule lighting, monitor usage, and make adjustments remotely through an intuitive interface. 

LDCM – Linear Dimming Control Module   
Used alongside Radiar AF10, the LDCM ensured smooth and flicker-free phase dimming for decorative and linear lighting in sensitive spaces such as meeting rooms and corridors. 

PSC-WCM-450-BLE-WS – Single channel AC powered 0-10V room controller 
Ideal for smaller zones, this controller offered reliable on/off switching and dimming for individual rooms, contributing to the overall energy savings of the facility. 

Cyrus AP – PIR Motion & Light Sensor 
Installed in offices and common areas, Cyrus AP sensors detected motion and daylight levels to automatically adjust lighting. This reduced energy wastage in unoccupied spaces while enhancing user comfort. 

Cyrus AM – Microwave Motion & Light Sensor 
Cyrus AM sensors were deployed in areas like storage rooms and corridors where PIR sensors could face limitations. Their precise detection enabled reliable automation even in enclosed spaces. 

Result

The upgraded lighting system has significantly improved operational efficiency and reduced energy consumption at the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office. With wireless controls and automated schedules, the facility now enjoys enhanced comfort for staff and visitors while supporting sustainability goals. What’s more, the solution aligns with California’s Title 24 energy code requirements—helping the facility stay compliant while moving toward smarter energy use.
