  • Patent number: 10304145
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, data about a plurality of remote energy efficient light fixture networks may be received, and each energy efficient light fixture network is associated with a customer of an enterprise and includes a plurality of energy efficient light fixtures equipped with wireless communication devices. Based on data indicative of energy consumption by a first customer, a first energy savings amount may be determined for the first customer in connection with a pre-determined period of time. An allocation of the first energy savings amount between the first customer and the enterprise may be dynamically calculated and an indication of the allocation between the first customer and the enterprise may be transmitted.

  • Patent number: 9743491
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, information about at least one user associated with a light fixture network, having a plurality of light fixtures each equipped with a wireless communication device, may be received. A bio-algorithm to be applied to the light fixture network may then be determined based on the information about the at least one user. An appropriate lighting parameter (e.g., a luminescence, a wattage, a color characteristic, and/or a wavelength) for at least one of the light fixtures in the light fixture network may be dynamically calculated, and it may be arranged for the at least one light fixture to operate in accordance with the dynamically calculated lighting parameter.

  • Publication number: 20170098354
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, information may be received about at least one user associated with a light fixture network having a plurality of light fixtures each equipped with a wireless communication device. Based on the information about the at least one user, a protection feature may be determined to be applied via the light fixture network. The system may then dynamically collect and monitor an appropriate parameter from a sensor associated with at least one of the light fixtures in the light fixture network. Responsive to this monitoring, it may be automatically arranged for at least one electronic message to be transmitted.

  • Publication number: 20170053360
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, data about a plurality of remote water devices may be received, and each water device is associated with one of plurality of customers of an enterprise and includes a wireless communication device. Based on data indicative of water usage by a first customer, a first water savings amount may be determined for the first customer in connection with a pre-determined period of time. An allocation of the first water savings amount between the first customer and the enterprise may be dynamically calculated, and an indication of the allocation between the first customer and the enterprise may be transmitted.
