PoE Retrofit

Central Iowa Power Cooperative generates power for 13 member electric cooperatives - and knows the value of conserving it.

“…Ethernet-powered, software-controlled LED lighting are simply amazing.”

The Opportunity

Central Iowa Power Cooperative, or CIPCO, generates power for 13 member electric cooperatives throughout the state of Iowa. As providers of electricity, CIPCO knows the value of conserving power. In this vein of electrical efficiency they decided to install the most efficient lighting system possible.

The Solution

GENISYS PoE LED Lighting - powered by Cisco - replaced high-voltage infrastructure with linear fixtures, downlights, and troffers. The stack includes third-party AV integration and occupancy / vacancy sensing across the retrofit.

The Impact

An 85% reduction in lighting energy use - with room to go further.

CIPCO has been experiencing an 85% reduction in lighting energy use where GENISYS was deployed and has the potential to push it further. With the constant development of energy-saving devices and software, GENISYS consistently puts its users in the upper echelon of efficiency.

The possibilities of Ethernet-powered, software-controlled LED lighting are simply amazing.
