The OSQ Series by Cree Inc. has increased the efficiency performance of its latest area and flood LED luminaires by 58 percent from the previous generation. Housed in cast aluminum with a weather-tight LED driver, the luminaires have a 100,000-hour lifetime. In order to meet the demand for cleaner and more efficient energy resources, Cree has added a 28L outdoor area and flood light to its OSQ Series. The 28L delivers up to 28,285 lumens, offering better light and increased energy savings. Energy usage can further be reduced by 80 percent when updating the outdated HID fixtures up to 1000W.

Pittsburgh-based company PPG has come out with three new colors for their insulating glass units (IGUs), Ultra-Clear, Optiblue and Optigray. Two of the IGUs are Solarban 90 low-emissivity glass and they blocks heat gain 15 percent more effectively than the Solarban 70XL. PPG designed this glass to give architects more options when balancing performance and aesthetics for projects. In a standard 1-inch IGU, the Solarban 90 Optigray comes in a warm gray appearance with a high visible light transmittance (VLT) of 36 percent and a solar-heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.20.

Delta Products created the world’s first, wall-mounted 80-kilowatt string inverter called the M80U Photovoltaic inverter. The M80U, a grid-tiered, three-phase transformerless solar inverter, is ergonomically designed for ease of use with a separable structure — NEMA 4X Enclosure Standard — to protect personnel and prevent degradation from adverse environmental conditions. In fact, it’s operating temperature ranges from -13 degrees Fahrenheit to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.

Innovative Lighting offers the new GENISYS Power over Ethernet Lighting Systems. With the system, customers can use Ethernet cables to both power and control LED lighting fixtures. The product allows up to 90 percent energy savings as it is governed by advanced, integrated control software. Every component of the GENISYS system is powered and controlled by an Ethernet cable, making the lighting simple to use. The product costs less by using Ethernet instead of copper wire and conduit used by traditional lighting.

Sloan, a leading manufacturer of commercial plumbing systems, has added a new Hybrid Retrofit Urinal to its collection of high-efficiency products that cut water use dramatically and make it easy to replace existing urinals — both traditional flushing and water-free styles. The new model, HYB-1000-RET, offers all the features of the Sloan Hybrid Urinal, including maximum LEED credits, minimal water and sewage costs, and automatic drain rinsing.

Renaissance Masonry Units by Arriscraft are manufactured to mirror natural stone formation, resulting in exceptionally tight dimensional tolerances, high strength, high density, low absorption and outstanding durability. A cement-free formulation means the long-term shrinkage normally associated with cement-based products is minimized. Renaissance is suitable for both exterior and interior masonry veneer and can withstand the most severe climates. The stone breathes and ages naturally, and lasting natural colors ensure that uneven fading and bleaching will not occur over time.
