JACKSON,
MICHIGAN – April 3rd, 2012 – The Capitol building, located in San
Juan, Puerto Rico is home to the bicameral Legislative Assembly, composed of
the House of Representatives and Senate.
In an era where balancing budgets has become a critical priority, the officials
were looking for a unique lighting solution, and partnered with Energy
Integrated Systems out of Atlanta, Georgia.
Induction lighting was the last technology standing for the project
engineers, meeting the stringent specifications for light quality, rated life and
monetary savings resulting from over a 50 percent energy reduction.
“There were very inflexible specifications that had to be
met for lighting inside the Capitol building, and EverLast® was actually
selected by engineers working on the project because of those specifications,” stated
David Benavent, Managing Director of Energy Integrated Solutions.
Early this year, the Capitol building replaced 240 – 400w
High Pressure Sodium fixtures with 250 w EverLast®’s Induction High-Bays. As a result of transitioning to induction
lighting the Capitol building anticipates a savings of over $20,000 year in
energy alone. Additionally the fixtures
require a fraction of maintenance by comparison to the outdated High Pressure
Sodium fixtures, the benefits of decreased maintenance costs were not lost on
the government officials.
“We have found that the EverLast® fixtures increase light
levels anywhere between 50 and 100 percent, while decreasing consumption at
least 50 percent. Our customers are not
only impressed with the product but shocked at the improved lighting levels and
incredible savings,” Benavent commented.
The EverLast® 250 watt Aluminum High Bay fixtures provide
light with a more natural, high color rendition and unlike traditional HID
fixtures illuminate immediately when turned on and are dimmable, offering a
wider range of uses. Furthermore, by using a process called electromagnetic
induction, they use up to 60 percent less energy and have an unmatched life
span of up to 100,000 hours.
“EIS chooses relationships with only the best of the best
companies. We chose to develop a
relationship with EverLast® because we felt that it was the very best induction
product on the market,” Benavent said.
“We look forward to continued business with EverLast® and we are
confident in recommending their product to anyone.”
