ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS


  • We carefully selected efficient light fixtures after modeling the space in AGi32, a lighting design software package, to determine the proper fixture placement, lamp types, and ballest efficiencies

  • With the lighting using only 0.78 watts per square foot, the projected energy savings compared to ASHRAE's 2004 standards was 28 percent

  • Incorporated the use of low or no VOC materials, renewable resources such as Plyboo®, environmentally-friendly refrigerants, and other items

  • The eco-friendly office serves as a walk-through model for potential clients or those interested in enhancing their office spaces
