To enable a world where equal access to and opportunities for the creation of wealth and

OUR PRINCIPLES

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO:

We believe electrical energy – the electron - is an underwriting currency of future civilized peace, progress, and prosperity. We believe in equal access to electricity to provide the universal ability to do increasingly productive work and create improved wealth and well-being worldwide. We believe we must challenge the status quo in all areas dealing with

the creation, distribution and use of electricity to achieve this. We believe all quarters of society – industry, government, academia and the general public - must focus on harvesting renewable and clean electrons, distributing them efficiently, and using them effectively, irrespective of locality or economic status. We believe public electrical infrastructure needs to have a ‘bottom-up’ architecture administrated in a highly democratic, free-market manner where each entity has equal access to the supply, demand, and delivery portions of the system. We believe the strength of these systems should be derived from ‘weak’ transactive cooperation by all participating entities. We believe there needs to be a new, more practical, economic and innovative definition and standardization of electrical systems to realize the promise of our beliefs. We believe we are fundamentally motivated by the opportunity for wealth and well-being our work enables for all who share our beliefs and are willing to act on them. We believe making electric energy universally and ubiquitously available will fuel innovation in the performance and nature of work, including the ability to create novel and improved electro-active physical environments. HOW WE DO WHAT WE DO:

We are an open membership, non-profit, member funded non-government organization (NGO) comprised of industry, government, academia and individual representatives who share a common vision and set of goals. We provide a stimulating interactive environment for like-minded thought leaders in the field of electrical energy and its relationship to human sustainability and progress to collaborate, cooperate, inform, educate, pool resources and otherwise act to achieve their shared vision and goals. We create vanguard standards for configuring clean renewable energy electrical systems. We create forerunning standards for collecting and distributing electrons generated by these sources in largely self-configuring, self-healing and resilient electric power systems. We create leading standards for interconnecting and using electricity in the simplest, most efficient, most effective, reliable, and safest manner. We promote the understanding and use of our standards by equipment manufacturers, system and building design professionals, the electrical and construction trades, building and home owners, building occupants and the general public. We encourage the adoption, adaption and use of our standards by other standards and regulatory organizations. WHAT WE DO:

We have committees creating and maintaining standards for hybrid ac/dc electric systems for the following domains:
o Commercial Building Occupied Space Microgrids (Ver. 1.1 Issued)
o Commercial Building Desktop/Task Level Microgrids (Ver. 1.0 Drafted)
o Commercial Building Campus & Whole Building Microgrids (Ver.1.0 In-process)
o Commercial Data Center and Central Office Microgrids (Ver. 1.02 Issued)

LumaStream and Vantage Controls Collaborate on Home Renovation for Richard and Kathleen Glikes

Richard Glikes, President of Azione Unlimited, championed the addition of lighting fixture suppliers to the Azione vendor group. His commitment to this high-growth segment was reinforced when he and his wife, Kathleen, chose LumaStream’s low-voltage Intelligent LED lighting and Vantage Controls for their Pennsylvania home renovation project.

Joe Hart, of Audio/Video Design in Oxford, was charged with following Kathleen’s lighting plan and installing the system. “I found the LumaStream hardware very intuitive to work with…wiring the fixtures could not be quicker… it’s all very clever and well thought-out.” WOW Media, Inc., a seasoned LumaStream dealer, managed the programming. "Vantage and LumaStream simply work great together,” said Luis Rodriguez, Vice President of WOW Media. “We have been using LumaStream for years and love the seamless compatibility of these two quality systems.”

The results: “Our new LumaStream / Vantage lighting system is elegant and practical. I love the touch panels with the ability to dim gradually and the styling is beautiful. The LumaStream downlights put out tons of light and the sconces are sexy. I couldn’t be happier,” Richard Glikes.
