Peabody, MA – International Light Technologies (ILT) recently designed and installed a lighting system for New England Biolabs’ sustainable design award winning laboratory facility.
The Ipswich MA facility of New England Biolabs, Inc. has received a sustainable design award from the Boston Society of Architects. The modern 140,000 square foot research and production facility first achieved LEED certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) in October of 2007. This is a distinction based on a suite of environmentally focused standards that include site sustainability, water efficiency, energy conservation, and atmospheric protection, choice of building materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, innovation and building design.
ILT designed a lighting system to meet the specific high quality needs of a scientific laboratory while meeting energy efficient standards. The LED lighting provides reduced energy consumption and reduces carbon footprint with no mercury disposal issues. To further conserve energy all rooms in the facility are fitted with occupancy sensors to reduce lighting loads when the rooms are not being used.
“The New England Biolabs laboratory facility is a showcase for high performance and energy efficient work environments and we are honored to have been chosen to provide their lighting system,” said, Thom Connolly, President and CEO of International Light Technologies. “Our background in light measurement instrumentation and our expertise with LED provided us with the unique blend of expertise to successfully complete this project.”
