Lumenergi Continues Expansion with New VP of Sales
Lumenergi,
a leading provider of energy-saving, networked lighting solutions, today
proudly welcomed Peter Weller as Vice President of Sales. At a time when
the market for energy-efficient lighting solutions is experiencing
dramatic growth, Mr. Weller’s twenty-five years experience in the
lighting industry will strengthen the company’s sales operations and
accelerate revenue growth.
“The market potential for energy-efficient, smart solutions in
commercial buildings is huge and largely untapped. There are 70 billion
square feet of office space in the U.S., and currently only one billion
have undergone retrofits. Lumenergi’s advanced lighting solutions are
poised for widespread adoption, as lighting is currently the largest
uncontrolled energy end use in a building,” said Michael D’Amour,
Lumenergi CEO. “Peter’s expertise, experience and strategic thinking
will propel the lighting market’s conversion to intelligent control and
smooth dimming, helping us take a larger share of the commercial
intelligent lighting market, which is expected to reach $2.15 Billion by
2013.”
Lumenergi’s smart grid-ready systems are affordable, efficient,
easy-to-use, and deliver a quick return on investment, averaging between
one and three years. The system enables building managers and occupants
to have greater lighting system control and functionality by providing
real-time monitoring, dynamic light level response and optimized system
operation. This integrated system functionality enables automated
commissioning and demand response, and optimizes building performance
for smart grid connectivity and climate-friendly operation. Lumenergi’s
smooth dimming ballasts operate in both DALI (digital addressable
lighting interface) and 0-10V control modes, protecting building
managers from technology obsolescence in the future.
“We are experiencing rapid changes in the lighting space, with a rising
number of commercial buildings undergoing energy-efficient retrofits. I
chose to join Lumenergi because I am confident that our integrated
lighting management technology is the market leader, because it
maximizes energy efficiency, increases energy savings, and improves
occupant comfort and building owners’ profitability. We are well on our
way to being one of the foremost industry suppliers and I am excited to
help drive this growth,” said Peter Weller, Vice President of Sales at
Lumenergi.
Mr. Weller comes to Lumenergi with extensive lighting industry
experience in sales, marketing, business development and engineering,
starting in 1984 as an engineer at GTE Sylvania. Prior to joining
Lumenergi, Mr. Weller was General Manager at Luminus Devices, an LED
company. Throughout his successful career, he has consistently delivered
increased growth and revenue, demonstrating strategic prowess and
exceptional insight into the lighting space. Mr. Weller received his
bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of New
Hampshire and later attended the MBA program at New Hampshire College.
He also participated in the Consortium for Executive Development at
Babson College’s School of Executive Education in 1996.
Mr. Weller’s appointment is the latest in a string of high profile
executive announcements made as Lumenergi positions itself as a leading
lighting market solutions provider. Recently, Lumenergi announced the
addition of Dan Weed as the new Vice President of Customer Operations
and Peter M. Schwartz as Vice President of Business Development.
