FACILITIES FRONT LINE
We are introducing a new lighting automation system across the clubhouse, designed by LDI and powered by Cooper Lighting. This system will allow us to tailor lighting in every space with precision and efficiency. Each member area can be programmed with multiple “scenes” that adjust automatically based on time of day, scheduled activities, or specific events. For example, a dining room may have a warm, intimate setting for dinner, brighter light for daytime use, or a dynamic look for special functions. The development of these scenes will be a team effort, guided by feedback from operations and facilities to ensure optimal efficiency, usability, and ambiance. While the system will be operated remotely by management, local control will remain available where appropriate. One of the key advantages of this system is its reach. Lighting automation will extend to the tennis courts, all member areas of the Club, and our landscape lighting. The system also eliminates the need to adjust manually for daylight savings time, ensuring lighting schedules remain consistent year-round. Beyond flexibility and comfort, lighting automation also brings measurable performance gains. According to the Lighting Controls Association, one study found that buildings employing a lighting control strategy reduced energy use by 24%–38%. In addition, as part of current building energy codes, areas of the Club will be equipped with occupancy sensors, ensuring no space is left dark when occupied, while also preventing wasted energy when rooms are empty. These features help us achieve both energy efficiency and cost savings, while creating a smarter, safer environment for members and staff. As with any new technology, there will be a period of adjustment while we fine-tune the system. We kindly ask for your patience during this optimization phase as we continue to align technology with thoughtful design, bringing us one step closer to outstanding facilities.
