The Importance of Conservation
We need energy – and lots of it – to light our homes, schools, offices, hospitals, hotels, and restaurants. Lighting accounts for nearly 38% of the commercial electricity use by end consumption.

Green Building
Because it consumes such a large portion of the country’s energy, lighting has emerged as a priority for energy efficiency efforts. Such efforts can reduce carbon emissions and save our environment.
One of the best and simplest ways to save energy is to use dimmers and other devices that manage daylight and electrical light, generally referred to as light control. No one knows this better than Lutron, the company that invented the first solid-state dimmer and pioneered the lighting control industry.
Lutron products range from dimmers and wireless occupancy sensors, to automated shade systems and sophisticated whole home and whole building light management systems. You’ll find them in the most architecturally and environmentally advanced buildings from Boston to Beijing.
Each year, Lutron estimates its dimmers save a total of nearly 10 billion kWh or nearly $1 billion in annual energy costs. “Dimming your lights even 20% saves nearly 20% in energy,” says Dr. Ian Rowbottom, principal application engineer at Lutron. “Dimming them more, saves even more.”
