Relying heavily on lighting technologies, air quality controls and more, CEA is an indoor agricultural method that provides the ability to precisely control a crop’s yield and production time, thus offering immense flexibility and benefit. As states like Virginia begin to introduce new legislation around the growth, possession, sale and consumption of marijuana, we are in a great position for considering the mechanisms and applications of systems like CEA. Controlled Environment Agriculture is just one viable way to grow marijuana, among other goods. As Controlled Environment Agriculture involves carefully controlled systems from air quality to lighting, our Environments team was eager to explore and learn about the process with Gretchen. Our conversation takes us from best practices and business savings to environmental implications. Come along- let’s see what Controlled Environment Agriculture is, how it works with IoT technologies, and what it can do for farming businesses and their crops.

]]> LEDs and the Future of Intelligent Buildings Phillip Ruane, Rob Groff 00:27:29 Join host Phillip Ruane and Environments’ Director of Technology, Rob Groff as they reflect on the contributions of the late George Mueller and look to the future of LED lighting and powerful smart buildings. George Mueller was a pioneer of LED lighting technology and a co-founder of Color Kinetics, a leading producer of dynamic architectural lighting systems. Mueller passed away last month in March of 2021. Rob Groff, having worked for Color Kinetics before the company went public, takes time to recall his experiences working alongside George Mueller and details some of the many ways that Color Kinetics helped to create and foster current LED lighting technology. In celebrating George Mueller’s contributions, Phil and Rob also consider the trajectory of IoT technologies and the importance of using sensors to collect data. Why are IoT technologies so desirable? How can data change the way we live? Listen in to find out!

]]> LiFi: Improving Connectivity in our Digital World Ed Huibers, Phillip Ruane, Floris Maassen 00:36:55 In the era of IoT, wireless demands are higher than ever. The more devices you have, the more crowded your network becomes, and in turn, slows streaming speeds to a snail’s pace. There’s a new technology sweeping the data world, called LiFi. If you haven’t heard, LiFi, or Light Fidelity, transmits wireless data via light waves. Yes, really - light. LiFi isn’t just a far-off dream, it’s a reality, and it’s improving wireless security and connectivity in commercial spaces around the world. For Signify, the world leader in lighting, developing a LiFi solution was a no-brainer. Join us as we sit down with Signify’s Trulifi Hospitality and Office Leader, Ed Huibers, and Trulifi Marketing and Communications Manager, Floris Maassen, as we discuss where LiFi is today and how it will completely transform the digital world of tomorrow.

]]> BIOS: Setting the Standard for Circadian Lighting Phillip Ruane, Patricia Rizzo 00:28:07 Do you have difficulty sleeping at night, yet can't seem to stay awake during the day? Your circadian rhythm is probably in need of some regulation! Our body’s circadian rhythms are kept in sync by various cues, including light. The sun is the best way to align your circadian rhythm with the day-night cycle, but if you spend the majority of your time indoors, you may need to supplement. Over the past two years, we've tested tunable white lighting for circadian entrainment at our office. We've experienced mixed results, but a new technology from BIOS is changing the circadian lighting game for good. Join us for an illuminating conversation with Patricia Rizzo, Healthcare and Wellness Programs Manager at Axis Lighting, to discuss how circadian entrainment works, what makes BIOS different, and where circadian entrainment makes the most sense.
