DELTA Portfolio
DELTA Portfolio: DeGraff St. Industrial Center, Office and Small Manufacturing

The DeGraff St. Industrial Center is an old mill that has been renovated into office and small manufacturing space. The lighting uses T8 fluorescent lamps and electronic ballasts. Galvanized steel stovepipe incorporated into light valances helps to retain the industrial character of the mill. This project takes advantage of plentiful daylight.
DELTA Portfolio: SONY Disc Manufacturing Center, Manufacturing Facility

Sony's advanced manufacturing facility for digital optical disks requires lighting designed for good task visibility and visual comfort for its employees. The project includes lighting for clean room manufacturing, packaging, warehousing, and shipping/receiving areas. Energy-efficient lighting products reduce energy consumption while creating bright, visually stimulating spaces to help keep shift workers alert before sunrise.
DELTA Portfolio: Staples Distribution Center

High-density warehousing and distribution center with low-energy lighting controlled by occupancy sensors.
Field Test DELTA
Field Test Delta Field Test DELTA: T5 Fluorescent High-Bay Luminaires and Wireless Lighting Controls

The DELTA research team field-tested T5 fluorescent luminaires and wireless motion-sensor lighting controls at a distribution center warehouse in Albany, N.Y. The field test in this high-bay environment included illuminance measurements, energy savings calculations, verification of system component operation, and worker feedback.
Daylight-Harvesting Switch Field Test DELTA: Daylight-Harvesting Switch

The DaySwitch® is a simple daylight-harvesting switch designed to turn off electric lights when plentiful daylight is available. The LRC developed the DaySwitch, collaborated with manufacturing partners to build prototypes, and demonstrated the device in a wide range of locations throughout the Rensselaer campus. This publication summarizes the product features and demonstration results.
