NEMA’s Electroindustry Business Confidence Index (EBCI) for current North American conditions retreated nearly 13 points in April to 59.1, following a sharp run-up earlier in the year to its highest levels since 2005. Despite the slide seen in the latest month, the index continues to point to an economic environment conducive to industry growth. The [...]

Designer Paolo Crepax drew inspiration from the Finnish word for the unique ice forms that crystallize into flowers, which often emerge on the snow-clad fields during the Scandanavian winter. A true artisanal creation, it is composed by hand from pure transparent crystal glass. Available in a wall, ceiling or pendant model. The wall and ceiling [...]

A new report released by the New Buildings Institute (NBI) and the Zero Energy Commercial Building Consortium (CBC) reveals that zero energy commercial buildings—highly efficient buildings that produce as much energy as they use through on-site renewable resources—are cropping up across the United States. The report, “Getting To Zero 2012 Status Update: A First Look [...]

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has published the final evaluation report from a retrofit of track lighting used to illuminate a special photography exhibition at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Malibu, California. During the demonstration, 12W LED PAR38 lamps replaced 60W halogen PAR38 30° flood lamps on a one-for-one basis across three adjacent [...]

This series of photos published by the Tribeca Trib, a publication covering southern Manhattan, shows a year of progress at the World Trade Center site.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently published the final report from a demonstration of LED technology in ornamental post-top street lights, conducted in Sacramento, CA. This report provides an overview of the evaluation of four different LED replacement products using computer simulations, field measurements, and laboratory testing. The evaluation was conducted by DOE’s Municipal [...]
