For more than a century, building electrical wiring was built to support a high-voltage infrastructure. Now, we see more lighting systems engineered with both energy efficiency and user experience in mind, giving us the low-voltage, automated lighting systems that now dominate the market.

LumaStream owns the distinction of being the first lighting manufacturer to design a total low-voltage-based lighting and control system. They’ve also perfected LED lighting systems by introducing configurable current, power conversion and engineering to overcome the issues that the market was facing, namely premature failure, inconsistent color and unimpressive energy savings.

We at Tech Automation continually look for ways to refresh our service offerings and keep up with the industry. That’s why we’re proud to start selling and installing LumaStream solutions to our Detroit, MI, clients. Ready to learn more about this system and why you might add it to your home? Read on!

Bringing nature indoors reached most corners of residential design but most notably in areas like lighting and climate control. But does biophilia play a role in how we build and design Oakland County, MI, offices? We think so!

According to Mikhail Davis, an office designer who worked with Google: “A traditional office environment is a constant temperature, lots of the same colors, same textures, same humidity: If you’re outside, these vary throughout the day, and that’s what’s producing a lot of these benefits.” By contrast, an office that incorporates some elements of “bringing the outside in,” including circadian lighting control, air quality monitors and climate control, might be the employee productivity boost you’re looking for. Keep reading to see how Tech Automation could add nature-inspired perks to your office.
