Acuity Lighting Renovation, a subsidiary of Acuity Brands, Inc., provides the latest technologies in electronic, thermal, and optical lighting required by business managements worldwide. Acuity Lighting commits itself to the development and acquisition of the highest quality sustainable lighting solutions with the least in energy demand and consumption. Thus, Acuity Lighting also sets the standard in maximizing productivity in both the home and workplace of todays modern setting.
II.What is Acuity Lighting Renovation?
Lighting renovation refers to the utilization of sustainable lighting technologiesto improve a lighting products performance. Methods of lighting renovation, or lighting upgrading, include the replacement of products parts and/or the whole product itself. Lighting upgrading is done mainly in response to the release of the latest versions lighting technologies so as to acquire a newer model, or it may also be done as a preventive measure against the ravages wrought by the elements human usage and time. Upgrading is done as well to decrease the overall costs in the maintenance of lighting products.
III.How is Lighting Renovation Accomplished?
The process of lighting renovation guarantees the client of sustainable lighting solutions with three things in mind: cost-effectiveness, energy efficiency, and quality.
Many elements come under strict consideration prior to renovation. Two key elements of sustainable lighting renovation are illumination and environment.
Illumination, or illuminance, refers to the amount of light produced and its capacity to effect a significant visual stimulation while reaching a desired surface area over an amount of time. Multiple factors of illuminance include:
-Illuminance This is the primary measure of how much light is expressed on horizontal and vertical work planes. Varying levels of illuminance is advised for different activities and visual-based tasks. Illuminance is express in lux units (SI).
-Uniformity Consistency is vital in the clients visibility so as to reduce visual fatigue, although this may not be required when involving high-contrast, detail-intensive work.
-Color rendering This is a light sources ability to characterize the true colors of an object. Lighting products suitable for this task include fluorescent lamps and metal halide lamps. This is represented by the color rendering index (CRI).
-Contrast Contrast is essential for the ability to discern and ascertain the objects visibility when against a background.
-Shadows Soft shadows visually enhance an objects depth perception, while harsh shadows degrade object visibility and contribute to visual fatigue.
-Glare This is the result from the direct exposure of eyes to light from sources such as lamps and also from light reflected off glossy surfaces. This also contributes to visual fatigue which directly translates to safety hazards and productivity loss.
-Light Loss Factors (LLS) These elements are essential in determining the lighting requirements through controlled laboratory setups and in-field conditions. LLFs include the following factors which have a significant effect on the quality and efficiency of the light produced:
-Luminaire dirt depreciation this is the loss of light from accumulation of dirt on luminaires.
- Lamp lumen depreciation the gradual loss of light produced over a lamps lifetime
- Thermal factor The element of temperature which affects sensitive fixtures like fluorescent lights which can lead to a significant loss of light output.
-Ballast factor a rating (1.0 being perfect) used to determine the products wattage which in turn affects light output (lessened output is reflected by any rating below 1.0).
Environmental factors must also be taken into account so as to honor the trend in maintaining sustainable/green lighting systems. These are:
-Space room dimensions such as ceiling height, work plane height, electrical wiring locations, and surface finishes
-The ambient airborne dirt/dust, moisture levels, gases, and temperature fluctuations
-Visual tasks the objects size, color, texture, glare, etc.
-Flexibility and control management the necessity of an area in varying light setup in response to different lighting needs and situations within the area of effect
-Safety prevention and minimization of occurrences of health hazards related to poor lighting conditions
-Maintenance lighting products durability and longevity both provide longer periods in between cleaning and replacement
-Ease of access simply for easy accessibility for care and maintenance
-Energy requirement conservative energy requirements for meeting watt/sq. ft. area
-Regulatory compliance electrical product/system safety standards in installation and maintenance
To accomplish a successful venture in sustainable lighting renovation, first the needs of the client are assessed. The clients specifications are held in the highest regard during this process.
The process of renovation begins by considering the following: the clients need for lighting, the type of lighting technology needed, saving and monetary value, and energy consumption. Next, current settings, including present lighting products/systems, are assessed. This step determines the dimensions of lighting requirements, area usage, and surrounding elements. The current lighting system/settings are also placed under strict examinations to discern performance levels as well as cost-effectiveness. Physical characteristics are not the only focal points, however. Specialist systems such as Visual calculate the aforementioned needs of the client and determine optimal levels of lighting levels. Cost analysis is then used as a guide to determine profits on both short and long-term scenarios. Finally, minor installations of fixtures/systems are compared with the appearance of the old setting before the entire project approaches the finished product.
IV.Why Take Up Lighting Renovation
Acuity Lighting Renovation brings with itself numerous advantages and benefits. Due to its philosophy in maintaining world-class products/services by following strict guidelines enforcing quality, performance, and cost-effectiveness, both home and business-oriented clients can better meet financial objectives. This is mainly achieved by reducing expenses incurred from the upkeep of inferior/non-sustainable lighting technologies. This in turn has a proportional effect on the clients performance in home/work areas. Also, in both home and office settings, the majority of energy consumption rates are due to lighting fixtures/systems which do not implement the sustainable energy methods. By switching to the latest technologies in sustainable/green lighting the client invests in a future of quality, performance, and significant energy and cost savings in which greater profits are easily achieved in as short as six months.
Acuity Brands Lighting also provides an ever-evolving selection in the latest in optical, electronic, and thermal management technologies. By utilizing these, the client is given an almost limitless catalog of choices among luminaires and other lighting products/systems varied in form and function to meet the ever-increasing needs of home and business-related areas. Acuity Brands Lighting melds sustainable lighting technology with cost-efficiency. No other solution comes close to Acuity Brands Lighting in their commitment to producing, maintaining, and providing the very best in quality, performance, cost-effectiveness, energy saving, productivity, and safety of its clients and there home/work areas.
