We are pleased to announce the Leviton GreenMAX Lighting Control System was awarded First Place in the Energy Efficiency Category of the "Eco Cihac 2011 Sustainable Innovation Awards" at Expo Cihac in Mexico City, October 2011. This Event is considered the most important construction trade show in Latin America, bringing more than 59,000 attendees per year. The purpose of the award conferred by ECO CIHAC 2011 is to recognize and develop the best practices that directly benefit society and to help develop solutions with a high degree of energy efficiency that reduces CO2 emissions and to improve the management of natural and energy resources.
