Publication number: 20230244194Abstract: An energy savings selector tool may assist a user in determining electrical devices that, when implemented in a load control system, may reduce an amount of power used by the load control system. The energy savings selector tool may use load control information of the load control system to identify electrical devices that may be added to or replace other electrical devices in the load control system. The load control information may define operations of the load control system and/or include energy usage information of the load control system. The energy savings selector tool may identify savings information associated with implementing an electrical device in the load control system. Once an electrical device is installed in the load control system, the energy savings selector tool may be used to report energy savings information about the electrical device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2023Publication date: August 3, 2023Applicant: Lutron Technology Company LLCInventor: Daniel Curtis Raneri
