Echelon Corporation has announced version 5.0 of its Lumewave by Echelon CMS software. The version 5.0 of Lumewave by Echelon CMS (central management system) software will further simplify installation, and improve the overall control and operation of general lighting systems, specifically in parking structures, as mandated by recent building energy codes: California Title 24-2013 and ASHRAE 90.1-2010. Lumewave by Echelon CMS software is designed to manage the end-to-end lighting control of light fixtures for roadways, cities and municipalities, office buildings, university and corporate campuses, parking areas, stadiums, etc.

Echelon's lighting control platform offers options to connect virtually any fixture, any place, wired or wireless, around the world. In total, Echelon has nearly two million lights under control worldwide. The Lumewave by Echelon wireless control system, administered via the CMS, combines adaptive daylight harvesting control with code-mandated occupancy-based control requirements.

Administrators now have access to system-wide on-demand reports to view performance and operations; easy access to per node, per group, or the entire site view of current and predictive data; and new charts and graphics to better understand usage and comparisons of current and historical data.
