The Opportunity
While GENISYS had PoE Lighting installations prior to The Body Parts Store, this installation is acknowledged as the first PoE lit greenfield building in North America. A tragedy gave birth to this milestone in the evolution of GENISYS and the adoption of PoE lighting technology. A fire completely destroyed their original building, leaving them with a concrete slab.
Most businesses don’t have a disaster recovery plan, but within 48 hours after the fire, computers, website and phones were online and a temporary building nearby was ready to accept redirected stock shipments.
The Solution
The ownership was interested in rebuilding with LED and reached out to Innovative Lighting for guidance. They had settled on a 120,000 hour LED fixture style using remote drivers throughout the facility when a question came up about whether it was the best system for long life and energy efficiency - because they planned to leave the business to their kids.
GENISYS became part of the discussion using the same long-life fixture, now powered and controlled with low-voltage Ethernet cabling, multifunction sensors, and touch capacitive dimming wall switches - all software controlled. The system delivers scheduling, occupancy and vacancy motion sensing, daylight harvesting, RGB mode wall switches, and high end trim.
