Systel features at the MDG Awards
Leaders of 189 countries endorsed the Millennium Declaration in 2000, a commitment to work together to build a safer, more prosperous and equitable world through eight time-bound and measurable goals to be reached by 2015.

One of these goals is to ensure environmental sustainability and Systel was invited to introduce the ESLS and its energy saving capabilities at the 2009 Partnership for Development Series event to further the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), honoring H.E. (Alt) Ambassador Francis Lorenzo from the Dominican Republic. The event was attended by ambassadors from several countries as well as business leaders from the New York area. Dr. Samuel Melamed presented the economic advantages of the ESLS concept at the event where it attracted much interest among attendees, several of whom have already followed up on their initial contact.

Further to this event, Dr. Melamed has been invited to present Systel to the President of the Republic of Colombia when he visits the UN during the meeting of the General Assembly in September.

Introducing New ESLS Capabilities -- Metering
In the photo: The Lighting Control Panel (LCP), a building block of the ESLS with embedded power metering (3% accuracy). This new feature, provides, in addition to the total breaker panel metering, real-time monitoring of each separate lighting branch for wise automated power consumption and demand control. Metering also enables optimization of programmed load shedding. The working building blocks of the ESLS lighting control system shown at the exhibition included: ESLS dimmable addressable two channel ballasts, operating T5, T8 and CFL lamps; the Multiple Network Sensor (MNS) unit with operation via an infrared handheld device, and the daylight harvesting system with its self-calibrating closed loop lighting sensor.

Systel installed a first stage ESLS beta site in Manhattan. A press release will be available shortly. The ESLS, an application based on Systel's IDC2000 IC family, is a breakthrough open platform for energy saving building control with powerline communication.

The ESLS Beta Site, located in the Chanin Building (10th Floor), 122 East 42nd Street, New York City, utilizes dimmable powerline communication ballasts, wall controls and multiple network self-calibrated daylight harvesting and occupancy sensors, provided by Systel's OEM partners. This system allows control from remote sites down to each element of the network (e.g. lamp, thermostat, etc.). This installation is one of a series of ESLS beta sites to be deployed in various configurations in several international locations, as pilot trial sites, showcasing the system's unique properties to achieve maximum savings and load shedding capabilities.
