Wind farm

Garden City, NY (PRWEB) May 17, 2011

Adelphi University, a leader in the area of energy conservation and a green environment, is continuing its commitment to renewable energy by offsetting 100 percent of the electricity consumed at its Garden City campus with the purchase of 20,206,800 kilowatt hours (kWh) of renewable energy credits (RECs) generated by wind farms across America through Boulder, Colorado-based provider Renewable Choice Energy. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that this purchase helps avoid a similar amount of CO2 emissions as that produced by nearly 2,775 passenger vehicles annually or the electricity use of 1,761 average American homes.

“Adelphi University is proud of its efforts to green the campus and continue to set the standard for others to follow,” said Adelphi University President Robert A. Scott. “The investment in clean renewable energy to minimize the impact on the environment underscores the University’s commitment to conservation and sustainability practices. There is excitement among administrators, faculty, students, and staff to create a campus culture that values environmental responsibility.”

Renewable energy facilities generate renewable energy credits (RECs) when they produce electricity. Purchasing these credits is one of the widely accepted ways to address the environmental footprint of electricity consumption. Purchasing RECs at the same quantity as your electricity consumption guarantees that the energy you use is added to the power grid from a renewable energy facility and supports the further development of these facilities. Renewable Choice RECs are third-party certified by Green-e Energy.

“We are proud to be working with a university that is demonstrating its environmental leadership through conservation efforts, energy efficiency projects, and a significant renewable energy commitment,” said Quayle Hodek, CEO of Renewable Choice Energy. “Renewable energy credits play an important role in helping build our country’s clean energy infrastructure and provide developers with more opportunities to develop wind and other renewable energy projects. We are delighted that Adelphi’s commitment to offsetting 100 percent of its electricity continues to be a valuable component of its sustainability strategy.”

Adelphi University’s lush, 75-acre Garden City campus has been recognized with a myriad of honors: Member of EPA’s Green Power Leadership Club, Cool Schools List by the Sierra Club, Excellence in Green Information Technology by Computerworld, winner of the 2008 Regional Commuter Choice Outstanding Achievement Award by The New York Metropolitan Transportation Council and Long Island, and 2009 Clean Air NY Champion, among others.

Adelphi University has a long-standing commitment to green building and implementing sustainability initiatives. In addition to its continued investment in renewable energy, Adelphi made the commitment to “go green” with extensive use of geothermal energy for heating and cooling its new facilities. More than 300,000 square feet of new buildings, including a residence hall completed in 2003, new Centers for Sports and Performing Arts completed in 2008, a renovated Woodruff Hall completed in 2009, and a new residence hall, currently under construction, are all heated and cooled by geothermal systems, making geothermal an integral component of this school’s long term commitment to reduce energy use. Combined, these systems are one of the largest of its kind in the northeast. This system allowed Adelphi University to earn Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certified status for the Centers for Sports and Performing Arts, by the U.S. Green Building Council. The new facilities are not only energy efficient but are also constructed with environmentally friendly materials, refuse from construction is recycled, solar gain on roofs and parking areas are reduced, and storm water is returned to aquifers naturally. The University’s housekeeping staff has taken a “green” approach to cleaning throughout the campus by replacing cleaning products containing toxic ingredients with Green Seal certified cleaning products, adopting new cleaning methods that will significantly reduce or eliminate the need for and exposure to strong chemicals, and using products that have a low environmental impact throughout their life cycle.

The University continues to search for and implement new ways to improve energy efficiency and to use products that are beneficial to the school and to the environment. In November 2006, Adelphi began relying 100 percent on natural, organic techniques to maintain the flora around campus. All commercial pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, and petroleum-based fertilizers have been eliminated from Adelphi’s grounds maintenance plan. Adelphi also has an extensive recycling program, where paper, plastic, metal, and cardboard are separated from the normal waste stream for recycling. A separate program for fluorescent lamps, ballasts, batteries, and electronic scrap, guaranties that the mercury and other heavy metals in these items do not wind up in landfills. Lackmann Culinary Services, which oversees the cafeterias on campus and food service for events, transitioned from plastic to paper food containers, and orders from local producers.

Larson Electronics’ Magnalight Introduces Explosion Proof Incandescent Work Light With Far Reaching Spotlight Beam

Kemp, TX (PRWEB) May 19, 2011

Long time manufacturer and distributor of high grade industrial lighting equipment Larson Electronics announced today the addition of the EPL-50-120×12-EHR incandescent work light to its line of explosion proof and hazardous location drop lights. The EPL-50-120×12-EHR incandescent work light produces an effective spotlight beam that is valuable for jobs requiring the ability to project illumination across significant distances in the hazardous workplace. Ruggedly constructed and approved for Class 1 Division 1 hazardous locations, this work light is paired with a cord reel holding 50 feet of explosion proof cord for convenient and trouble free operation.

The Magnalight EPL-50-120×12-EHR hazardous area incandescent work light provides operators in Class 1 Division 1 hazardous environments with an effective spotlight that is well suited for illuminating select portions of large areas. Although primarily producing a powerful spotlight beam, this explosion proof drop light still provides good peripheral illumination near the fixture as well. Containing an incandescent lamp within a slip ring type explosion proof housing, this unit is also equipped with 50 feet of SOOW 16/3 AWG cord to provide users with plenty of working cord length. The explosion proof cord is easily managed by the attached cord reel containing a spark proof ratcheting mechanism that prevents the chance of inadvertent ignitions of flammable atmospheres while the cord is being wound onto or off of the reel. Although safety is the primary concern, this light is also designed with convenience and user friendly operation in mind. Rather than mount the transformer in the handle where it could increase lamp weight and thus user fatigue, or in-line with the cord where it could prove cumbersome and easily tangled, Magnalight has mounted the transformer to the reel and effectively negated these issues. Designed for safety, durability and effectiveness, this explosion proof spotlight from Larson Electronics Magnalight meets federal specification JC-580A and is ideal for performing inspections and servicing work in large tanks or work areas where portions of the workspace may be difficult to access directly.

“There are very few true explosion proof spotlights available on the market and we are uncovering a growing base of customers looking for barrel and tank inspection lights that will deliver plenty of punch power over long distances,” said Rob Bresnahan with Larson Electronics’ magnalight.com. “In most cases, customers are looking for explosion proof reel mounts, so they can deploy the light, perform the inspection and then rapidly store the explosion proof light, all within the hazardous location area.”

Larson Electronics’ Magnalight.com carries an extensive line of explosion proof droplights, hazardous location lights, LED droplights, portable explosion proof work lights and intrinsically safe lights. You can view Larson Electronics’ Magnalight line of hazardous location lighting at Magnalight.com. Magnalight can be reached directly by calling 1-800-369-6671 or 1-214-616-6180 for international inquiries.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) May 19, 2011

After a six-month renovation, Barrier Mercedes-Benz of Bellevue unveils its new showroom, the week of June 13th, 2011 with a breakthrough green lighting design from Studio Lux that will contribute substantially to the dealership’s energy-efficiency initiative.

Barrier Motors tapped the award-winning Seattle-based lighting firm to revamp and reimagine the 47,800-square-foot showroom’s lighting scheme.

The Studio Lux design team used its expertise in low-impact lighting practices to go far beyond the stringent energy codes set by the state of Washington.

According to Studio Lux Principal Christopher Thompson, “the technology is about as cutting edge as you can get in my world. Some fixtures are seeing the light of day on this project.”

The new environmentally responsible design uses the industry’s most efficient technologies such as individual computer controlled office lights, high efficiency LED lamps and sensors that automatically adjust to the available daylight. As a result, the plan is 33% below the state’s watt-per-square-foot requirements and is expected to reduce energy costs for Barrier Mercedes-Benz 40 to 60%.

At the same time, Studio Lux ratcheted up drama in the showroom.

“The automobiles are like sculptures,” Thompson says. “We’re using tools that allow us to showcase them as works of art.”

Studio Lux Senior Lighting Designer James Sultan calls it painting with light. “Like an artist, we use light to enhance certain areas and specific details. We guide the consumer through the showroom with light in a way that provokes the senses,” he says.

The Studio Lux approach is not just to focus on the level of light but the quality of the light in a way that makes the showroom experience inviting, comfortable and visually exciting. Each automobile radiates in a halo of lights. Spots draw the eye to details, such as hood ornaments and wheels. “We aren’t here to celebrate the light fixtures,” says Sultan. “We integrate the light into the total environment to emphasize the architecture and enhance the experience.”

Studio Lux is internationally recognized for creating dramatic and dynamic environments. In its portfolio of residences, museums, hotels and commercial venues, Studio Lux balances art and the science of lighting to enhance the aesthetic impact of interiors and architecture.
