LED Fixtures with Networkable Integrated Controls

 

One Thomas Circle

  • Parking Facility
  • Washington, DC
Located in the heart of Washington DC, the property at One Thomas Circle is a mixed-use commercial office space built in 1981. The building is twelve stories high, with space totaling 229,663 square feet, and is managed by Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL).

Product At-A-Glance

 
ILP FZ Low Profile Strip – 4 Ft
  • Multiple Dimming & Sensor Options
  • 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, 5000K Color Options Available
  • 0-10V Dimmable Driver
  • Dry and Damp Location Listed
  • 5-Year Warranty

The Opportunity

JLL desired to convert this LEED Gold Certified building from fluorescent to LED and capture maximum savings by installing sensors on each floor. JLL selected a product but were apprehensive about including the dimming feature on all lights. JLL selected two areas of focus, the building’s garage and stairwells, and contacted Bay Lighting for assistance.

Bay Lighting Solution

Samples were installed to ensure customer satisfaction with the overall appearance and light levels of each application. The samples also allowed the customer to see dimming first hand and gauge how their tenants reacted to the lighting controls. Fixtures were networkable and installed in zones for optimum energy savings.

The Benefits

Was color temperature taken into consideration throughout the building? Are the lights in the fitness room the same brightness as those in the lobby?

What We Used

 
A networkable system is set up in zones. Once one light detects motion, it triggers all lights in the zone to become active. Pictured above is the ILP FZ Low Profile Strip lighting.

The Results

 
Bay Lighting supplied a sample LED fixture to test in the garage at One Thomas Circle. After converting to LED, the facility will save $10,066.75 on their utility bill, in the garage, over the course of one year.

    Emergency lights typically have a battery back-up that will operate the light in the event the power goes out, regardless of if there’s a generator for back-up power. Exit signs can and should also have a battery, especially if the building doesn’t have generator. Often during fire department inspections, they check that your emergency lights are operational, both with and without power. Emergency lights must be kept properly maintained to meet all federal and state requirements, so when installing new ones or updating old ones, should you just change the battery or replace the entire fixture?

    There are many building codes, electrical codes, and emergency standards outlined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), International Building Code (IBC), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), state and local regulations, and others that provide lighting guidelines and requirements for commercial and similar properties. These include for interior lighting, exterior lighting, and emergency lighting.
