A new wireless lighting control system at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas has owner MGM Resorts International looking for significant cost savings along with greater control for exhibitors at shows hosted in the massive facility.
The new system Daintree wireless control system from Current by GE brings digital control to more than 1,600 luminaires throughout the six exhibit halls’ 1 million square feet. The project reduced the amount of supplemental lighting required for major trade shows while providing exhibitor-specific control capabilities, GE said in a release. Energy Resources of Boulder, CO worked with Current to implement the platform.
The Daintree system used, which combines Intel processor technology with a web-based software platform, automates energy management, building control and system configuration from any location. Organizers of a recent trade show reported that the need for supplemental lighting was nearly eliminated compared with the prior two years.
“Current’s Daintree controls are supporting our energy saving goals while improving the customer and client experience,” said Chris Magee, Vice President of Sustainable Facilities at MGM Resorts. “Strong partners with significant commitment to the environment are what makes these types of projects a success.”
MGM Resorts is also exploring adding additional functionality that would integrate the lighting system data with its corporate building analytics platform. Daintree is Current’s second platform to be designated as an Intel Market Ready Solution. Current and Intel also jointly market and sell Current’s CityIQ platform, which is being deployed in San Diego, Atlanta and Portland, OR.
