Ann Arbor Selects Relume VUE™LED Streetlights

Relume Technologies, a leading manufacturer of light-emitting diode (LED) products and smart grid control systems for outdoor lighting applications, was chosen by the City of Ann Arbor to upgrade its existing street and area lighting to Relume’s VUE™ 150 LED streetlights. Installation of the first 250 LED fixtures is scheduled to begin almost immediately and will further reduce the City’s lighting expenses and carbon dioxide emissions.
The switch to Relume’s LED VUE fixtures is the next phase in the City’s goal to replace all its public lighting with cost effective, energy efficient LED lights. In 2008, Relume was chosen by Ann Arbor for its first large-scale LED installation project, converting 1,400 downtown streetlamps to Relume’s decorative LED globe fixtures. The installation resulted in a 65 percent reduction in energy consumption and a combined energy and maintenance savings of $130,000 annually.
“Ann Arbor was one of the first cities in the nation to begin converting its existing lighting systems to LED fixtures,” said Michael McClear, CEO for Relume. “We are excited to partner with the City once again to further its reputation as leader in the application of LED lighting.”

Portland EV Charging Infrastructure: A Model City

In preparation for some good green living and the growth of battery electric cars and plug-in hybrids over the next few years, cities around the country are taking steps to accommodate the new vehicles.
Ford Motor Company is gearing up to launch the all-new Focus Electric later this year and they plan to engage the commercial vehicle market with the C-MAX Energi plug-in hybrid van in 2012. And Ford has also examined every major urban market in North America and identified the cities doing the most to prepare for an electric vehicle infrastructure. Not surprisingly, Portland and Seattle are high on the list.
“As more and more electric vehicles come to market, it’s incredibly important cities develop action plans including infrastructure development and permitting solutions to ensure these vehicles are a viable solution for citizens,” says Mike Tinskey, manager of Vehicle Electrification and Infrastructure. “The cities on our list are working with multiple partners including local utilities, auto manufacturers, technology companies and others to support a successful integration of electric vehicles.”

Lafarge LEED App Simplifies Certification Process

Lafarge North America’s new Lafarge LEED Product Guide App enhances design professionals’ access to the Company’s web-based interactive Lafarge Product Guide for LEED Project Certification by allowing users to access the tool’s rich content anytime and anywhere via their Apple® iPhones and iPads. This App is specifically designed to run on the Apple mobile operating system.
Immediate access to the “Product Guide” is not only a great convenience, but also helps designers leverage spontaneous design ideas when they have them because they don’t need to be at their workstations or Wi-Fi enabled laptops to build on creative moments when they arise.
“The App allows designers to – in real time – bridge the gap between their spontaneous creative ideas and the necessary technical information to realize a vision,” said Andrew Pinneke, P.E., LEED AP and sustainable construction coordinator for Lafarge. “If an idea comes about in the park, on the bus, or on a job site, for example, that could call for the use of a Lafarge product, the designer can quickly use the App on his or her mobile device to research product specifications and determine how a product can serve a design concept. Additionally, they’re able to contact the appropriate Lafarge product specialist on the spot.”
