LEED Platinum, Nashville

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!!

PIL Lighting at the Yazoo Brewery

Our first Tuesday event at the Yazoo Brewery is going to be very casual this week with no presentations.  I will bring fixtures from one of my new manufacturers, Performance in Lighting.  PIL is an architectural fixture manufacturer  known for short lead times and modifications with fixtures made in the USA.

Ledalite Revit Files Including the ArcForm

Additional Revit files from Ledalite including the ArcForm lay-in.  Let me know if you need help with these.

Ledalite Revit Families Feature:

Functional Format

Face-based (rather than ceiling or wall hosted) families make it possible to use the files in both the architect model and in linked files used by contractors, regardless of which Revit suite being used.

All lighting fixture families contain an electrical connector to facilitate downstream Revit performance modeling in the development of electrical drawings and calculations.

Parametric Variables

Variable dimension parameters allow designers to change luminaire suspension length or mounting height of fixtures as needed.

Parametric controls allow designers to control the visibility of endcaps, sensors, suspension cables, etc.

Color + Clarity

2D Plan View symbols help keep layout drawings clear, easy to read, and minimize document file sizes.

All family drawing elements are assigned a material or finish type to facilitate realistic Revit renderings.

Always Up to Date

Each Revit file includes a date field in the Family Types dialog box. As subsequent revisions and modifications are made to the models, this date will be updated making it easy for users to identify the most current family version.

Wattstopper and Cree Lighting at the Yazoo Brewery

A reminder that I will host a meeting Tuesday, August 2^nd with Cree Lighting and with Wattstopper available for the Nashville lighting specification community at the Yazoo Brewery.  We will be there from 5-7PM.   

In addition, Kim Shinn, LEED AP will give a lively and interactive demonstration in the use of energy modeling software and how it can be used by design teams to inform and influence early design decisions. In this interactive workshop, participants will have the opportunity to engage as members of competitive teams, experiencing first-hand the early design process.

Lumewave - Zigby Wireless Outdoor Controls

Parking lot, area, and pathway lighting that burn all night represents a significant source of energy waste and contributes to needless sky glow and light pollution. 

Take a look at Lumewave controls.  We can reduce energy consumption according to occupancy for site lighting by 50% with new metal halide technology called Cosmopolis and MasterColor Elite and by more with LED.  Here is a link to these new lamp technologies:

From the Lumewave site:

Lumewave's wireless, remote control and monitoring of street lights can save energy, enhance public safety, reduce light pollution, reduce maintenance costs, provide valuable M&V information, and fixture health reporting to municipalities, states and other users.

Street and Area Lighting for Municipalities

Cities are starting to consider LED lighting as a viable light source.  Here is what Lumec Lighting says are the benefits:

1. LEDs consume less energy for the same lumen output
It is a proven and tested fact. LED luminaires will run at a lower system wattage than a comparable HID fixture, but with an equal or higher light output. Furthermore, the light is precisely oriented and little or none is wasted. You save so much energy that the switch will pay for itself.
2. LEDs offer better uniformity and light quality
The uniform white light of LED luminaires enhances color rendition and facilitates facial recognition. This means the public spaces are much more inviting and comfortable for everyone.
3. LED luminaires require much less maintenance
With systems such as our LifeLED™ made to last over 70,000 hours, there’s no more frequent re-lamping and high maintenance costs. Our LED technology is reliable and dependable, and our luminaires are designed to dissipate heat and to withstand the harshest weather conditions. Once installed, it will be years before they need any servicing.
4. LED can stimulate the economy of your city
Investors and citizens are getting more and more sensible to environmental issues. When the streets are safe, when the storefronts are well-lit, and when a city uses technologies that project a green and responsible image, people will pour in.
5. LED luminaires are available in a wide variety of design
We went way beyond the purely functional luminaires and created an impressive range of different styles. Our LifeLED™ engine can be integrated into many of our fixtures, from the more traditional to the more futuristic. No matter what ambiance you wish to create, it can be done with LEDs.
