Insight
LightRules provided detailed operational insight, highlighting occupancy trends that a 154-camera system could not capture.

The Intelligent Lighting System with LightRules offered control and dynamic response that reduced Gelson’s lighting-related energy use by 82%.
Compliance
The new system is compliant with Title 24, the standard for building energy efficiency as mandated by California’s Energy Commission.

Gelson’s moved to a new facility with more than twice the square footage. Centralized and advanced controls allow for zero disruptions to daily operations during installation and maintenance.
Quality, efficiency, and employee welfare are top priorities for Gelson’s, one of the premier supermarket chains in the United States. With those objectives in mind, the Intelligent Lighting System from Digital Lumens was the clear choice when considering solutions for their 214,849 ft2 distribution center in Santa Fe Springs (CA), and one that would also allow them to meet sustainability initiatives and comply with California’s Building Energy code (Title 24).
