New White Paper Explores Best
Practices for High Performance Buildings -
WattStopper
and Durell Control Systems have published a new white paper examining best
practices for control systems integration in high performance buildings. The
paper uses case studies to explore how project partners can successfully
collaborate with design and construction teams, focusing on two recently
completed high performance buildings in London, Ontario, Canada. Building
owners can take away several valuable ideas from the white paper, such as the
importance of including control vendors and integrators early in the design
process, as well as the benefits possible from using open protocol solutions. http://www.wattstopper.com/about-us/whitepaper.aspx#.UwfX_6aYZD9
2. New
GATEWAY Report - Pedestrian Friendly Outdoor Lighting - Follows
two pedestrian-scale lighting projects that required multiple mockups -- one at Stanford University in
California and the other at Chautauqua Institution in upstate New York -- to gain insight into what those
criteria might be, how they differ from street and area lighting applications,
and how solid-state lighting can be better applied in pedestrian applications.
The report is based on formal and informal surveys and observations from
neighborhood residents and pedestrians, feedback from experienced facility
design and engineering professionals, personal observations and discussions of
lighting designers and engineers, and input from researchers and scientists. http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/publications/pdfs/ssl/2013_gateway_pedestrian.pdf
3. Energy Efficient Lighting Reports - The Energy Efficient Lighting Research Service
of Navigant Research examines the key factors that are influencing the market
for energy efficient lighting around the world: trends in energy codes, rebate
and subsidy programs, sustainability/green certifications, raw material supply
issues, and geopolitical influences in developing and developed nations. http://www.navigantresearch.com/research/smart-buildings/energy-efficient-lighting
4. LEDtronics LED Lights Help Fantasy
Springs Casino Save 291,000 kWh and Receive $32,000 Rebate - LED lighting from LEDtronics, Torrance, CA
conserves energy, reduces heat and improves safety. Their LED lights will help Fantasy Springs
Resort and Casino save 291,000 kilowatts of power in one year and receive a
$32,000.00 rebate from the Imperial Irrigation Energy Rewards Rebate Program.
Prior to receiving the LED lights from LEDtronics, we were using high-pressure
sodium lamps which gave off a dirty, dim color and a lot of heat. www.ledtronics.com
