B. Lighting Design <br />Our company offers lighting design services for every project. This step of the process is critical and <br />features the following: <br />• Our design team will thoroughly review the information collected by our auditor so that we can better <br />understand the existing lighting system. <br />• Upon review, we will prepare a proposal to provide the client with a detailed financial analysis and our <br />recommended LED lighting & controls to be installed. <br />Our team will design one or more options based on the following general guidelines and/or goals for <br />each facility; <br />o Match or improve current light quality and output <br />o Specify LED retrofit kits where possible and new LED fixtures when retrofit kits are not the <br />desired option. <br />o If operating hours are extremely low, or the fixture cannot economically be replaced with a new <br />fixture or retrofit kit, we will typically specify 'Type A" TLED lamps with new ballasts. <br />Our process includes design of the proper lighting controls <br />technology. This step is frequently overlooked by many <br />competitors, but it has been shown that when properly designed <br />and installed, lighting controls can reduce buildings' energy use <br />by an additional 24-38%. Our process Includes the use of <br />occupancy, daylight, and dimming controls when appropriate. <br />We have our own in-house CALTCP certified Acceptance <br />Technician to ensure that the system complies with state or <br />local energy codes. <br />If a customer has specific illumination standards that must be met, we have in-house ability to design a <br />system based upon accurate photometric predictions for light levels. <br />o ERC's certified lighting designer utilizes AGI32 Lighting Software, the industry standard for <br />accurately calculating both interior <br />and exterior light levels. <br />o The customer's existing lighting <br />fixture schedule along with CAD <br />drawings are collected, and the <br />information is then input into the <br />AGI32 software. The software <br />M <br />allows our designer to simulate the <br />new Illumination levels with the <br />proposed LED fixture. <br />Our designer can then select the <br />appropriate LED fixture that <br />produces the Customers required foot candle measurements. <br />• Value Engineering is a key component of our process. We believe there is always great opportunity in <br />the LED lighting to identify materials and construction techniques to reduce project cost without <br />compromising the quality, aesthetics, or reliability of the new LED system.
