ENCELIUM Wireless Area Lighting Controller Wins Architectural SSL Product Innovation Award 2016


The ENCELIUM® Wireless Area Lighting Controller (WALC) by OSRAM has been honored with an Architectural SSL Product Innovation Award (PIA) 2016 in the "Controls and Drivers" category. The ENCELIUM WALC allows a group of lighting devices to communicate via a wireless mesh network based on ZigBee (News - Alert)® standards and connects to the ENCELIUM Energy Management System for a scalable, wireless or wired lighting control system that enables facility managers to elevate the cost effectiveness and occupant experience of their lighting spaces with just a click of the mouse. It is one of the only lighting control systems that can gather data from a range of lighting component suppliers to tailor lighting usage with the frequently changing requirements of the facility - helping to make buildings fit for the future.

In addition to the Architectural SSL Product Innovation Award, ENCELIUM has been recognized with a number of other industry awards this fiscal year including:

  • LIGHTFAIR International 2016 Best in Category Innovation Award
  • Design Journal "Best of 2015" and ADEX Platinum, Gold and Silver Awards
  • Consulting-Specifying Engineer Silver Award in Lighting Controls
  • American Institute of Architects conference and IESNA Progress Report

"We have received a historic level of awards and accolades from the industry this year as a result of our commitment to deliver solutions that enable more flexibility, scalability and energy savings for today's smart buildings," said Tom Shottes, head of Digital Systems, OSRAM Americas. "Specifiers, architects and facility managers have turned to ENCELIUM for more than 15 years. We continue to break new ground in energy management and occupant comfort, and innovate as we expand OSRAM's ENCELIUM technology into the future."
