Sustainable Lighting Systems

Passive Lighting Systems

Passive lighting systems maximizes the ability of a building to utilize as much daylight as possible for its lighting needs balanced against its energy requirements necessary for the heating and cooling. For many uses, proper design can substantially reduce energy usage, maintenance and associated costs.

LED Lighting Systems

LED Lighting Systems The future of lighting is here. Lamps constructed from light emitting diodes (LEDs) often use 20-50% less energy to create the same amount of light than older lamp technology. Some models are warranted for 50,000 hours of actual operation or six times longer than a CFL lamp or 25 times longer an incandescent lamp. These lamps save tremendous expense associated with lighting energy cost, multiple replacements of older-style lamps and ballasts, disposal fees and the labor costs connected with this maintenance….not to mention the millions of lamps that would otherwise be deposited in landfills.

Active Lighting Control Systems

Active Lighting Control Systems Lighting control can be managed by the combination of a variety of factors such as fixture type, lamp type, switching, motion detection, daylight photo-sensitivity and timed usage. Balancing the use of these factors serves to enhance comfort, security, and energy efficiency.
