In this module, we provide an in-depth exploration of the Qualified Products List for Networked Lighting Control systems and technical specifications for inclusion on the list. In a live demonstration, we’ll show how to use the list and discuss various caveats and tips. This session will equip you to utilize and explore the NLC Qualified Products List to identify appropriate systems for your projects, including various filters to help narrow the search results. We will also review DLC requirements and recommendations for “Interoperability”.

Steven Mesh, LC, IESNA, Principal, Lighting Education & Design Read Bio
Eric McDonald, CEM, LEED AP is Chief Technologist at NextEnergy. He has more than 25 years of experience in the industry, and he has been responsible for installing advanced lighting and advanced lighting controls systems in commercial and industrial settings. At NextEnergy he develops demonstration projects and pilot programs for energy efficiency, distributed energy resources, smart grid and smart mobility. Eric worked on the DoE Lighting Technology Energy Solutions (LiTES) program. On LiTES, he trained electricians, contractors and designers on advanced lighting controls; coordinated installation of ALC along with utilities and electrician trade allies; and developed and carried out the measurement and verification (M&V) program for energy usage from lighting controls.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, attendees will be able to:
- Understand how to use the DLC’s Qualified Products List for Networked Lighting Control systems;
- Explore filter categories and logic that can be used to narrow search results for an appropriate NLC system;
- Identify various caveats when using the Qualified Products List;
- Review DLC requirements and recommendations for “Interoperability” between NLC systems and other building systems.
