BLDG-SIMMERS
We've got another BSUG remote webinar available from the University of Idaho Integrated Design Lab on Wednesday, June 11th. We will be featuring a Boise-Idaho based start up and an app they developed for doing retrofit lighting simulation and analysis. Very excited to feature a local company for this month's presentation! Please see below for more details and direct any questions to kleichliter at uidaho.edu. Thanks!
Title: Retrolux - A New Boise-Based Company and Simulation Tool for Lighting Retrofits
Target Audience: Engineers and Architects (CEUs AVAILABLE!) -
Date and Time: June 11th, 2014 - 12.00 to 13.00 MT?
Remote Webinar Available: Register here for the remote webinar - https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2956792734633392129
Description:
BSUG on June 11th will feature a new software program developed by a local startup company, Retrolux, aimed at streamlining electrical lighting retrofit analysis via a custom app. The presentation will focus on the role of technology and simulations, commercial lighting as the low-hanging fruit of efficiency measures, the current state of the lighting industry and simulation, and simulations and sustainability. The new tool hopes to reduce product takeoff and installation costs by over 30%, streamline utility rebate programs, integrate with existing business systems, and provide a centralized project information database that can be updated with future improvements. There will be a short demonstration of the tool at the end of the presentation.
More on Retrolux as a company:
Retrolux is a startup enterprise software as a service (SaaS) software company that seeks to provide energy auditors, electrical contractors, distributors, and utilities with the most comprehensive and integrated product supply chain logistics and energy efficiency software. The initial focus will be lighting products but the long term vision includes the entire electrical product lines and eventually mechanical products as well. Simply, Retrolux is a mobile-based data collection and product management software that will centralize all business functions required to specify and install building lighting solutions.
