Retrofit: Breaking the Light Barrier

LightBEEM is positioned to become the market leader in the commercial building retrofit lighting market.

LightBEEM’s retrofit- ready design allows it to be easily installed in a broad range of commercial and institutional buildings without requiring additional wiring.

Unlike new buildings, where Energy Efficiency (EE) systems are part of the design cycle, the structure and occupancy of existing buildings pose steep installation and integration challenges, adding time and costs, while disrupting ongoing operations.

Controlling each individual lighting fixture is highly preferable in order to achieve high energy savings, comply with codes and regulations and contribute to occupants' satisfaction and comfort.

Our Power Line Communication (PLC) patented technology utilizes the building’s existing power lines enabling  all system components to communicate,  eliminating the need to install new, separate control wires to each fixture as in other competing systems. This overcomes one of the chief impediments to wide spread adoption of lighting control and energy efficiency systems in existing buildings, while speeding implementation and improving ROI to less than 3 years. ROI can be further enhanced through tax incentives and grants offered by federal, state and local governments as well as utility companies.

Due to its innovative technology, LightBEEM can be installed with minimal disruption to existing occupants and operations. Our automatic digital address assignment technology is implemented in all of our products, greatly simplifying both the set up / planning and installation phases. The system's self-calibrated multi-sensor devices ensure easy and fast installation without the need for costly manual calibration and configuration.

Ensuring a sustainable future depends on the ablity to modify existing buildings.  Moreover, green building is a reliable predictor of tangible improvements in building performance; these improvements have considerable value as the market  has shown that certified green buildings command significantly higher rents. At prevailing capitalization rates, this adds substantial market value to each green improved property.

LightBEEM is the intelligent solution for building owners and managers, eliminating previous barriers to energy efficiency. The system can help achieve advanced LEED goals while meeting efficiency requirements. LightBEEM improves your  building’s profile and  revenue stream by creating both the image and reality of an innovative green building.
