Infrastructure Change
Future Tiles 2.0
2
Infrastructure Change
To reap the maximum benefits and expand the use of energy-efficient solid-state light source technologies
3
Expanding the Use of Energy-Efficient LEDs
Replacement lamps-- not the optimum solution for LEDs. Exploit strengths of LED technology and provide greater value to the end user.
4
Architecture Changing architecture reaps the maximum benefits of new technologies… ? 19th Century 20th Century 21st Century
5
What are the benefits of LEDs?
Energy savings Long life Green technology – no mercury Low levels of harmful radiation (UV and IR) Rugged and durable Unique lighting solutions Shallow profile fixtures (small size) Dynamic control of intensity and color Entertainment/mood Spectrally tunable for visual impact Spectrally tunable for circadian impact
6
Are there other shortcomings of current lighting practice?
Good lighting is very difficult to implement And hard to reconfigure And hard to reuse
7
Current Construction Process
Lighting decisions must be made early, before interior design or furnishing decisions The lighting layout may not match the needs of the final interior design
8
Installing Fixtures in Completed Buildings
Changing lighting design: Requires a licensed electrician Damages walls, ceilings, or floors Costly, time-consuming, and labor intensive
9
A Potential Solution Ceiling tiles
Provide more flexibility than sheet rock ceilings But an electrician still would be required to perform any changes to the lighting
10
A Potential Solution Create a system that provides the simplicity of ceiling tiles but has the electrical and lighting capabilities called Future Tiles Future Tiles lighting systems Easily replaceable No need for hard-wiring or electricians Can be positioned anywhere in the grid Individually addressable – intensity and color control Different lighting solutions can be integrated into a Future Tile: diffuse lighting, accent lighting, etc.
11
Argument to change infrastructure
Provide convenience to end users Financial Ease of use Sustainability Create more demand for energy-efficient LED lighting systems and improve overall lighting quality
12
ASSIST Proposal, Dec. 2004 Start a strategic initiative:
An open architecture concept to make lighting much easier Two-dimensional power grid ASSIST – Seed funding for 1st year Create Future Tiles 1.0, a demo area at the LRC Identify stakeholders and bring in strategic partners
13
Future Tiles 1.0: Completed Demo Room – October 2005
14
Status October 2005 to December 2006
LRC has generated publicity for the concept and ASSIST
15
ASSIST Proposal Dec. 2006 Promote the initiative
Create Future Tiles 2.0 demo in a highly visible location with real occupants Gather feedback from users ASSIST – Seed funding for third year Identify a location for Future Tiles 2.0 Identify and bring in strategic partners Continue fund raising
16
Future Tiles 2.0 Objectives of field demonstration
To show the potential of an open architecture concept that: Supports energy efficiency strategies – green lighting Simplifies lighting design and installation Promotes sustainability – reuse of fixtures Demonstrates the value of SSL Showcases the latest and greatest of emerging SSL products
17
Status December 2006 to December 2007
Potential Future Tiles 2.0 demo sites nominated NBBJ office building in NYC Syracuse Center of Excellence Paramount Pictures NRDC headquarters in NYC A portable demonstration ASSIST voted via conference call to pursue Paramount Pictures
18
Site meeting with Paramount Pictures, 11/14/07
Paramount’s goals Brand their campus as “green” Showcase state-of-the-art sustainability Showcase high end, “cool” office/conference design Reconfigure production company spaces easily Design platform for future tenants Generate publicity

Site meeting with Paramount Pictures, 11/14/07
Attendees Senior Vice-President for Construction Services Executive Director for Planning and Development Facilities management Design team and consultants LA Department of Building and Safety Chief electrical inspector Electrical testing laboratory engineer LA Department of Water and Power N. Narendran and R. Leslie (LRC) on behalf of ASSIST
21
Site meeting with Paramount Pictures, 11/14/07
Outcomes High level of interest Options available for Future Tiles 2.0 demo Conference room Offices Target dimensions 15’ × 20’ × 10’ high Discussed site agreement conditions LRC drafted site Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
22
Next steps: Future Tiles 2.0
Site MOU Approvals Write proposals, secure full funding Collaborations: Who does what? LRC: Design/coordination ASSIST members: Choose your role today! New collaborators ? Controls company Other appliances: music, display, egress Coordination with Paramount designers and construction Media and publicity plan for “green story”
23
After Construction Implement media and publicity
Conduct an “opening” event Consider annual press showcase unveiling new product developments for the infrastructure—the “Auto Show of Future Tiles”
