Lighting
Having proper lighting is one of the most important factors for your building, and one of the biggest consumers of electricity. Lighting is an essential system, with its failure being noticeable to the human eye. Lighting technology has advanced tremendously since the first incandescent bulb. Fluorescent lamps have progressed from T12 to T8 to T5. There are many different lamps for many different uses, such as High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps for exterior and warehouse lighting. The HID lamps have also progressed, becoming more efficient and more reliable.
Emergency Generators
Emergency Generators are installed in buildings to ensure that power will be available under extreme circumstances. These circumstances can range from such events of a power blackout to a fire in the building, to name a few. Emergency generators typically provide power to emergency equipment such as emergency lighting, exit lights, fire alarm systems, elevators and other equipment deemed mandatory for the safety of the buildings’ occupants. Certain rules and regulations have been updated over the last number of years, thus you might find that your existing generator does not now comply with the required local codes.
