In this module, our experts highlight Cree's SmartCast Technology system that is revolutionizing complete lighting system retrofits. The SmartCast system incorporates integrated controls and automated commissioning to dramatically simplify the complexity of holistic lighting system retrofits. We will share a deep dive into a case study that evaluates the SmartCast system as compared to typical existing lighting systems at three Department of Defense sites. This presentation will provide an understanding of what a successful implementation of an Advanced Lighting Control system can look like.
