SERVICES PROVIDED
LEED and Lighting Design
ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS
- We carefully selected efficient light fixtures after modeling the space in AGi32 to determine the proper fixture placement, lamp types, and ballest efficiencies
- All lighting is controlled in zones and on timers or motion sensors to shut off when no one is in the space
- With the lighting using only 0.78 watts per square foot, the projected energy savings compared to ASHRAE's 2004 standards was 28 percent
- The eco-friendly office [Link to video on home page] serves as a walk-through model for potential clients or those interested in enhancing their office spaces
