New ReVolt Control from Cii Optimizes Lighting and Power Usage, Reducing Energy Consumption by up to 25%

TEMPE, Ariz., Oct. 05, 2016 -- Communications Integrators, Inc. (Cii), a leader in designing and manufacturing modular power, voice and data solutions, today announced ReVolt Control, a modular plug and play lighting and control system that optimizes building lighting and power usage. Architects, construction professionals and electrical contractors can quantitatively see how ReVolt will help them:

With 25% of construction companies having turned down work last year due to labor shortages, ReVolt is especially attractive because installation is not labor-intensive. ReVolt comes pre-configured and pre-provisioned; and its modularity allows you to simply snap it together. It can be reconfigured and hot swapped live, making tenant improvements (TI) fast and painless.

With ReVolt, you can set time schedules, adapt to occupancy and vacancy and dynamically adjust brightness based on the amount of sunlight entering a space. The plug and play nature of ReVolt takes your space beyond LEED: its reusable infrastructure cuts your raw material usage by an order of magnitude every time you re-shape your space.

Building managers will see time savings that translate to cost savings with ReVolt. Because the solution comes pre-configured and pre-provisioned, it is a quick installation, meaning one month less rent lost (due to TI improvements related to electrical). This also means the building owner can give a lower allowance for TI.

In one particular case study, The Christensen Corporation installed ReVolt in their early LEED Platinum-certified Banner Bank Building in Boise, Idaho. “With ReVolt Control, I reduced my turnover costs, finished tenant improvements in less time and had increased flexibility with changes down the road,” stated Gary Christensen, owner of The Christensen Corporation. “Further to that, ReVolt took two full weeks off the schedule by reducing electrical labor by over 70% and saving over 10% on electrical costs.”

“Cii is excited to bring to market a lighting and plug-load control system that combines energy savings with labor and material cost savings,” said Jon Dumbauld, president of Cii. “With clients who require raised floors, such as commercial offices or casinos, there’s typically an expectation that there’ll be constant reconfigurations. In this sense, a modular wiring system like ReVolt is absolutely beneficial due to its cost effectiveness and easy adaptability.”

ReVolt will be on display at the Greenbuild International Conference and Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center, October 5-7, 2016, at Booth 521.
