Sustainability

We Love Nature 
A hike through the woods, a round of golf, or a walk on the beach—all of these provide connections to nature that intuitively we know people enjoy, seek and value.

With the advent of LEED certification and the general trend towards green technology and home efficiency, lighting technology has become an increasingly critical component of “going green”. While these make nice catch phrases, we hope to dive deeper into the subject and provide a solid knowledge base for those seeking a better understanding of energy efficiency as it pertains to lighting technology.

LED lighting integration in manufacturing environments leads to increased production line productivity, increased visual acuity on production lines and significant energy efficiency.

References to energy savings and “green” processes have become ubiquitous in our society; sometimes, people do not realize that achieving such savings could be as easy as changing a light bulb.

From ASHRAE and LEED® to ENERGY STAR®, the growing list of environmental lighting guidelines can be at times overwhelming for today’s design professional. When you add the need to meet environmental and industry guidelines to creating a sophisticated, unique and aesthetically appealing lighted space, design professionals are facing a dilemma – how to effectively layer light in a way that does not sacrifice style for sustainability or vice versa
