FIRST STAGE BETA SITE IN NYC
Systel installed a first stage ESLS beta site in Manhattan (Press Release). The ESLS, an application based on Systel's IDC2000 IC family, is a breakthrough open platform for energy saving building control with powerline communication.

The ESLS Beta Site, located in the Chanin Building (10th Floor), 122 East 42nd Street, New York City, utilizes dimmable powerline communication ballasts, wall controls and multiple network self-calibrated daylight harvesting and occupancy sensors, provided by Systel's OEM partners. This system allows control from remote sites down to each element of the network (e.g. lamp, thermostat, etc.). This installation is one of a series of ESLS beta sites to be deployed in various configurations in several international locations, as pilot trial sites, showcasing the system's unique properties to achieve maximum savings and load shedding capabilities.
