Light Meter App

This is a great app for lighting people or if you want to show an owner what footcandles are in a space.  A Light Meter app!  I tested against a "real" light meter from Greenlee at showed 22 FC at my desk.  The whitegood light meter showed 18 so not completely accurate but I had a case on my phone, etc.  It works as a good estimate of light quantity.  Search "whitegoods" at iTunes.

That is me and my son Caleb at Stone Fort park in Manchester TN in the background. 

From the whitegoods site:

New Update Available for Whitegoods Light Meter App
Whitegoods have made further improvements to their recently launched LightMeter App;
The new updates include:
-An easy to use manual calibration tool where you can input readings taken from a real light
meter allowing for more accurate calibration.

-Default settings for low/medium or bright light levels to improve performance
-'How does it work' section on Info tab
-Settings for foot-candles or lux
Always have a light meter at hand with this intuitive and easy-to-use app. Compatible with iPhone 3GS,
4 and 4S, iPad and iPod Touch (iOS 5.0 or later). Works with front and back cameras and includes a built-in timer.

Color Kinetics at the Nashville Bridge Company

This is the Nabrico Building in the Cumberland Park area, Nashville.  The blue tower is lighted by Philips Color Kinetics (CK) LEDs.

http://www.colorkinetics.com/

We can light very tall stuff with CK LEDs as well.  The below link is to the Color Kinetics website showing the CN Tower in Toronto.  I think the downtown architecture of Nashville lends itself to some interesting possibilities and I will update as more come online.

Environmental Mission Statement

As the leading manufacturers' representative in the lighting industry, we will work diligently to arouse and educate as many people as possible - within our company and outside - inviting all to join us in a meaningful and significant effort to renew our environment and sustain our planet.

Rising electrical costs across the U.S. are a great concern for multi-site facility owners. The deregulation process on the supply side has failed in states that once considered this the solution of “choice.” Other states that formerly enjoyed low electrical costs are now feeling the impact. The end result for all consumers is a direct hit to the bottom line. These supply-side challenges are leading customers to pursue alternate Demand Side Management (DSM) disciplines. The good news is that timing has never been better to counteract these rising electrical costs. SESCO Lighting’s Energy Solutions Program provides a comprehensive package of products, expertise and services for your commercial and industrial facilities. We’re able to replace your older, inefficient lighting with new energy-efficient lighting systems and controls. This means of energy conservation is the quickest return on investment compared to all other DSM saving disciplines, including HVAC systems, Building Envelope Measures and even Water Conservation. In addition, SESCO integrates the Federal Government’s “2005 Energy Policy Act” (as amended and extended by Congress October 3, 2008) when addressing your new lighting system. With adherence to specific ASHRAE guidelines, this congressionally implemented policy potentially allows customers to deduct the total cost of energy conservation measures in one fiscal year. Implementation of the above must occur prior to December 31, 2013. SESCO Lighting will not only align the most appropriate lighting system(s) for the specific application, but with a commitment to SESCO product, there is no charge for traditional project management fees. SESCO will help reduce operational costs and secure the type of financial return on investment that your management teams will embrace. We strive to implement technologies that reduce operational costs while improving light levels and associated comforts. We don’t stop there. We urge our customers to evaluate controlling these new loads with sensor technology or more advanced electronic-based controls. The technology is available and SESCO Lighting’s family of services is looking forward to introducing it to you.

For more information on how you and your company can go green, contact our Energy Specialist, Mike Siner.

How about this one... I hear it went smoothly.  No change orders.  She did not get the point for "Daylight & Views", it is pretty dark in there.  She did get a point for "Optimize Energy Performance" though.  Nice job!!
