SESCO Lighting, Inc.’s Post

Electrical installation is both a science and an art! As building owners seek maximum control over their lighting systems, for zoning, dimming and auto-on functioning, the need for precision control grows. While the architectural specifications inform how the system should function, close coordination between the lighting controls provider and the electrical contractor is an opportunity to confirm the accuracy of the lighting control drawings and ensure functionality. Putzel recently held a coordination meeting with lighting controls supplier, https://buff.ly/3xJu0tr for the Emory Dunwoody Medical office building. A key topic for this meeting was ensuring the controls for the overall building lighting system and the controls for the tenant fit-out portion were properly indicated and synchronized. Whether the electrical system is locally controlled or cloud-managed from afar, precision matters! #ElectricalDesign #BuildingControls #LightingSystems #Architecture

⭕ As an OSP Designer, What Factors Should You Consider When Planning a Route? 🛡️ Safety of Life, Property, and Habitat The safety of people, property, and the environment should always be the top priority. Proper planning helps mitigate risks associated with hazards like landslides, flooding, or fire-prone areas. 📍 Location The proximity of the OSP route to utility easements, roads, or private properties impacts the ease of installation and future maintenance. ⛰️ Topography Understanding the terrain is vital. Hilly or rocky areas may require special installation methods, increasing the complexity and cost of the project. 🌦️ Local Restrictions (Climatic Conditions) Certain areas may have weather-related concerns such as heavy rain, snow, or high winds. Consideration of climatic conditions ensures that materials and techniques used can withstand local weather patterns. 💰 Cost Budget constraints influence material choices and route selection. A cost-effective design is essential without compromising on performance or durability. 🏗️ Existing Infrastructure Leveraging existing conduits, poles, or other utilities can reduce costs and speed up deployment. It also minimizes disruption to the surrounding environment. 🏙️ Future Development (Site Remediation Concerns) Planning for future developments and site remediation activities is critical to avoid costly rerouting or upgrades later. Take into account any planned roadworks or building expansions. #OSPDesign #Telecommunications #InfrastructurePlanning #NetworkDesign #SafetyFirst #BICSI #DataCenters #OSPDesign #OutsidePlant #TelecomInfrastructure #FiberOptics #SafetyFirst #TelecomEngineering #Broadband #ConstructionPlanning #TelecomSolutions #UtilityDesign #SmartCities #BICSI #TelecomInnovation

Get ready for brighter streets! TWD is leading significant projects to enhance street lighting infrastructure for two major municipalities in the Golden Horseshoe! One municipality is taking a big step toward upgrading its street lighting infrastructure with LED technology. With over 8,300 street lights—approximately 3,200 still using high-pressure sodium (HPS) fixtures—this project will boost energy efficiency, improve visibility and safety, and reduce maintenance costs. Another, is embarking on various reconstruction projects to help revolutionize its street lighting systems across 13 main streets. This initiative will not only improve urban lighting efficiency but also enhance public safety and sustainability. 🚦 Project Highlights: -  Comprehensive plan for the LED retrofit - Analyzing the existing street lighting data - Inventory of assets - Optimal phasing plan for the transition to LED fixtures - Design electrical drawings and developing a comprehensive tender package to upgrade existing street lighting to modern standards - Design of new poles, luminaires, bracket arms, cabling, and power supplies for new municipal Hydro Poles As part of our commitment to building smarter, greener cities, this street light upgrade will set a new standard for urban infrastructure, demonstrating TWD's expertise in delivering innovative, future-forward solutions. Stay tuned for updates as we illuminate the path forward! #TogetherWeDeliver #StreetLighting #Design #Electrical #Ontario #LED #GoldenHorseshoe #Infrastructure #Safety #UrbanDevelopment #SmartCities #Illuminate #Sustainability

We’re often asked, “What solutions can Parklane implement to mitigate noise at our data center, and how do they differ from other solutions on the market?” Our Answer? The Solutions: ★ Custom Acoustic Barrier Walls - delivered to site pre-fabricated with complete architectural flexibility. ★ At-Source Attenuation Packages - designed to integrate direct to facility cooling equipment without derating performance. ★ General Exhaust Attenuation - built to retrofit into building ventilation systems while maintaining designed airflow and access for future maintenance. ★ Acoustic Generator Enclosures - shipped to site modular or field erected to reduce lead times on generator delivery. The Parklane Advantage: ★ Full-Service Delivery - including detailed engineering, in-house manufacturing, and onsite implementation/field support by Parklane Personnel. ★ Modular Construction - designed to limit field installation time and ensure exceptional product quality. ★ Integration Design - incorporating all necessary design elements to facilitate the integration of noise control into the built environment (i.e. supporting structure, connection interfacing, service access, aesthetics, etc.). ★ Performance Guaranteed - for owner peace of mind that Parklane will be with them until compliance has been achieved. Check out our video demonstrating how Parklane gives your facility the 'silent treatment’.

It’s not every day you hear about an architect buying a 1960s concrete office building and turning it into a highly sustainable, all-electric boutique hotel.   Hotel Marcel -- named after Marcel Breuer, architect of the Brutalist-style Armstrong Rubber Co.’s headquarters in New Haven, Conn. – now bears the distinction of the world’s first large Passive House-certified hotel. Hear the story of how architect Bruce Redman Becker teamed up with LN Engineers to take this floating concrete box with deeply recessed windows and design innovative M/E systems like VRF heat pumps, Power over Ethernet lighting and shading systems and energy recovery units. The engineers even managed to integrate a Battery Energy Storage System with rooftop and carport photovoltaics, the all-electric systems and the local utility.   The team’s hard work paid off, with the energy modeling showing an energy cost savings of more than 80% over the ASHRAE baseline.   Thank you Bruce Redman Becker, Becker + Becker Associates, Inc., and LN Engineers' Ian Donohue and John Askew for sharing this great project with Architectural Products magazine’s (Endeavor Business Media) readers. Other manufacturing partners include Swegon North America, SunPower Corporation, Mitsubishi Electric, Ageto Energy, Accuenergy (CANADA) Inc., PowerShades and VoltServer Inc. And let's not forget KLAR Studio replacing the windows and doors with its Passive system. #passivehousedesign #electrification #adaptivereuse #architecture #mechanicalengineering #electricalengineering
