Summary: The installations have a dual agenda: save on electricity and promote U.S. green technology innovations.

The U.S. embassy in Madrid is undergoing a lighting retrofit, thanks to a joint program of the Alliance to Save Energy and the League of Green Embassies.

LED technology maker Cree is working with the Alliance to Save Energy and the League of Green Embassies to improve energy efficiency at U.S. embassies during 2012 in Vienna, Rome, Berlin, Madrid and Lisbon. Each of the installations is helping save between 45 percent and 76 percent of the energy needed for interior and exterior lighting at the facilities, according to Cree.

The lighting installations span a number of applications, depending on the location. Those include security lighting, indoor lighting, area lighting, walkway lighting, parking lot lighting and roadway lighting.

The projects serve two purposes: first, they are obviously meant to save the government a bit of money; second, they are meant to showcase U.S. in the green technology space.

The installations will be completed and rolled out during 2012.

W.A.C. Lighting Company
615 South Street
Garden City, NY, 11530
USA

Press release date: February 1, 2012

Garden City, New York - WAC Lighting President Shelley Wald announced that its S?l(TM) Organic LED Chandelier has been accepted by the IES (Illuminating Engineering Society) for its 2011 Progress Report, and recognized as a product that reflects significant developments and improvements in the lighting industry.

Created by a committee of more than 30 representatives from leading manufacturers and design firms, the IES Progress Report is the result of hundreds of lighting product evaluations. Selected for its uniqueness, innovation, and significance within the lighting industry, S?l(TM) was one of approximately 150 products recognized from submissions within all categories of the lighting industry.

"We are proud that Sol was selected by the IES for its significant development in the art and science of lighting," stated Ms. Wald. "This accolade is very exciting and inspires us to continue our extensive research and development of new lighting technologies."

The IES Progress Committee formally recognized WAC's OLED Chandelier at the 2011 IES Annual Conference in Austin, Texas. The 2011 IES Progress Report is now posted on the IES website and is featured in the January 2012 issue of Lighting Design + Application (LD+A) magazine.

Sol(TM) utilizes Orbeos OLED (Organic LEDs) panels from Osram Opto Semiconductors and delivers 420 lumens. Seven remarkably thin (2.1 millimeters) OLED panels employ the world's most revolutionary nanotechnology to distribute white light with optimal color rendering (CRI 80) and a color temperature of 3900K.

The chandelier offers adjustable light distribution for ambient mood lighting, free of undesirable shadows or glare. Each OLED panel is completely cool to the touch, inviting consumers to experience this new technology. Circular satellite OLED panels rotate up for indirect lighting, and tilt down to comfortably illuminate the surface below or faces around a table, while the central downlight provides directional lighting. The OLED panels do not require the use of any additional lenses or reflectors to diffuse the light, which traditionally results in a 10 to 40 percent loss in efficiency.

S?l(TM) is inherently sustainable, designed around energy efficient and environmentally friendly technology in WAC's wholly owned, Clean ISO 9001/14001-certified manufacturing campus with in-house U.L. certified testing labs. The chandelier is crafted of aluminum and finished in black nickel, without the use of heavy metals or other rare-earth materials commonly used in other energy-efficient sources.

About the IES
The IES (Illuminating Engineering Society) builds upon a century of excellence to create the premier lighting community dedicated to promoting the art and science of quality lighting to its members, allied professional organizations, and the public. 25% of the membership is involved in manufacturing; 25% is composed of lighting designers and architects; and the remaining 50% is composed of consultants, electrical and building contractors, distributors, wholesalers, and lighting professionals, including those working for utilities, energy services, government and education.

WAC Lighting's Sol Organic LED Chandelier Accepted by IES Progress Report

Deco Lighting
2917 S. Vail Avenue
Commerce, CA, 90040
USA

Press release date: February 4, 2012

With a multi million dollar R&D program nearing completion, Deco Lighting plans to launch a revolutionary portfolio of affordable high performance commercial LED luminaires. Municipalities and commercial customers seeking to replace their inefficient lighting to save energy will no longer be restricted to a limited selection of high priced LED fixtures.

Deco Lighting has announced plans to launch a revolutionary new line of commercial LED luminaires destined to change the current status quo in the solid state lighting (SSL) market. Integrating advanced design with next generation LED components and fabrication techniques, the new luminaire line will knock down the price barriers currently restricting widespread use of SSL for commercial applications. The culmination of a multi-million dollar R&D program and partnership with proprietary component suppliers, the new Deco Lighting LED line is slated for introduction in late 2012. The line will include radical new LED roadway, high bay, indoor recessed, wallpack, architectural and landscape luminaires.

Throughout the U.S., municipalities and businesses are striving to replace their inefficient lighting to save energy, reduce their utility costs, and go green with more environmentally friendly, sustainable lighting solutions. New solid state lighting (SSL) technologies offer numerous benefits, including immediate energy savings of 50% or more, 50,000 hour lifespan for long term maintenance savings, and greater controllability. The use of controls, sensors, daylighting, and intelligent network systems offer an additional 25% or more energy savings by adjusting light levels precisely when and where the illumination is needed. In addition, SSL possesses inherent green earth- friendly properties. Unlike typical gas discharge lamps, the semiconductor LED contains no mercury - a hazardous waste material, produces no ultraviolet radiation, and no EMI (electromagnetic interference) emissions. Due to these properties, LED lighting is a key contributor for government and utility sponsored rebate programs, as well as building projects seeking LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) status and recognition.

Major targets for conversion to LED include streetlighting, outdoor area lighting, parking lots and garages that traditionally use HID (high intensity discharge) fixtures. Streetlighting, in particular, can consume up to 40% of a municipality's utility budget. Indoor targets for LED include office lighting traditionally dominated by recessed fluorescent fixtures, and warehouses, high ceiling retail, commercial and industrial buildings that use HID. Despite the considerable benefits over conventional lighting, LED luminaires for these applications come with "sticker shock" prices for municipal and business customers. In some cases, federal stimulus funds and utility rebates can help mitigate project procurement costs. However, the typical per unit LED fixture price remains too expensive when compared to conventional alternatives. Deco Lighting has addressed this critical issue in its comprehensive research and development program for next generation LED luminaires. The result is an affordable product line with high performance features and modular design. The customer will also benefit with economical component upgrades to take advantage of the very latest advancements in LED technology and lighting control.

Deco Lighting has rapidly emerged as the leader of Induction lighting for high lumen applications. With the largest selection of outdoor and indoor Induction luminaires in the marketplace, Deco Lighting has developed many unique patented and award-winning fixture designs to enhance the performance of Induction technology and its unmatched 100,000 hour lamp life. These innovations include bi-level Induction fixtures, hybrid luminaires, and the use of integral sensors that function automatically without external controls. Deco Lighting recently introduced Plasma technology luminaires as another cutting edge solution for high lumen outdoor and high bay lighting.

Featuring a powerful
miniature electrodeless lamp and electronic control capabilities, the Deco Plasma lighting line will be expanded with many new fixture designs. The success of Deco Induction lighting is proven in an expanding number of municipal, commercial, university and military installations throughout the U.S. and overseas. Having established a strong distribution and sales network, as well as a growing base of major customers, Deco Lighting expects great market penetration and success with it's new LED product portfolio.

Deco Lighting is a leading manufacturer changing the world of lighting with the latest green technology, energy saving lighting and controls. Deco Lighting's extensive product line includes architectural and commercial fluorescent, Induction, HID, LED, Plasma, Solar, Dark Sky friendly outdoor luminaires, emergency fixtures and sensors.

The renovated Barnstable Airport’s effort to create buildings for energy efficiency and healthful indoor environments is paying off.

Airport Manager Roland “Bud” Breault reported that the airport’s electricity bill for the new terminal and tower remained about the same for the first month of operation despite having to light, heat and air condition an additional 12,000 square feet of floor space. Further, he noted, the airport has significantly increased the amount of security lighting in its parking lots. 

As a result of the efforts, Barnstable Municipal Airport has been awarded $60,570 in incentive funds from Cape Light Compact for making its new Hyannis passenger terminal and air traffic control tower highly energy efficient.

 “Early in the planning process, the airport instructed its design team to create high performance buildings that stand out for their energy efficiency and healthful indoor environments, and we have achieved our goals,” airport commission Chairman Daniel P. Santos said,

Airport greenhouse gas emissions will be cut through the use of white roofs to reduce solar heat, high-performance window glazing, energy efficient heating and air conditioning systems and interior fluorescent lighting. The airport also uses dark-sky exterior lighting and has promoted the use of public transportation and bicycling.

The airport also plans to seek an Energy Star rating and silver LEEDS certification for its buildings, Breault said.

Cape Light Compact subscribes to the Advanced Buildings Core Performance Program, developed and managed by the New Buildings Institute, a national nonprofit organization that promotes energy efficiency in commercial buildings.
