Bay Area Energy Saving Light Bulb Company, GreenVantage Solution Inc., Helped UCSF Parnassus Campus Go Green

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) February 27, 2012
Bay Area energy saving light bulb companionship, GreenVantage Solution Inc., a local LED bulb and game distributor, advocates the use of energy-saving alternatives in lieu of incandescent bulbs. Towards this end, GreenVantage helped the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) Parnassus Campus in its hard work to go green by replacing the 25-watt incandescent bulbs in some of its lecture halls step lights with 2-watt DesignoLux 360 S14 LED bulbs.
UCSF Parnassus Campus was an fascinating project, Christine Capulong of GreenVantage Solution said. Since they were using incandescent bulbs in their aging step-light fixtures, the vibrations from students walking on the steps would break the bulbs filaments. They would literally have a maintenance crew change out the light bulbs every couple of weeks. It certainly became a costly maintenance issue. Luckily, we were able to supply them with a direct LED replacement bulb solution with the DesignoLux 360 S14 LED bulb at a quarter of the cost of replacing the entire game.
LED fixtures ordinarily cost around $ 100 each, exclusive of installation fees, making retrofitting to LED fixtures a pricey undertaking for older buildings whose step lights were built for incandescent lamps. Therefore, GreenVantage Solution recommends using a LED direct replacement light bulb instead of changing out the entire game.
“For the UCSF Parnassus Campus, we were able to use two of the S14 bulbs to replace each incandescent bulb. At 2 watts, 100 lumen output (comparable to a 10-watt incandescent), an average life span of 35,000 hours, and no filaments to break, this LED choice was a no brainer. Not only did UCSF lower their energy costs significantly but also the maintenance costs of continuously replacing the bulbs.”
The DesignoLux 360 S14 is a product from EarthLED, the consumer division of Advance Lumonics that delivers the latest innovations in energy-efficient lighting frankly to the public. The DesignoLux 360 combines an exceedingly efficient Simufilament light engine, based on A/C LED technology, with conventional incandescent forgery methods. This distinguishes the DesignoLux 360 since it looks and performs like a traditional incandescent but is both more energy efficient and saves more money. The Designolux 360 S14 LED bulbs are fantastic for step lights, refrigeration lighting, marquees and signs.
The Bay Areas GreenVantage Solutions Inc. features LED light bulbs that are not only environmentally forthcoming and free of hazardous substances like mercury, but that significantly lower energy costs as well. GreenVantage helps businesses reduce kilowatt per hour of electricity used, resulting in less CO2 emissions and a smaller carbon footprint. Furthermore, LED lighting has an expanded life span, resulting in lower maintenance costs.
The cost of LED lights have come down considerably and with rebates, they are now affordable, and it makes sense to change to LEDS, as they lower monthly electricity bills by at least 30 to 50 percent, Capulong said.

What are the costs and uses of biomass fuel?
Question by Siam: What are the costs and uses of biomass fuel?
Hi there,
I’d like to know more about biomass fuels. How does producing fuel from biomass affect the nation? Is it financially convenient for domestic use? And is this resource best used for domestic or industrial purposes?
Thanks in advance!

I can help you with this question, since I did a whole semester’s worth of environmental impacts of biomass.
Biomass can be in any form, such as wood chips, pellets, firewood, landfill gas, municipal and landfill waste, crop residues, domestic animals fertilizer, sewage gas, and bio gas.
It can affect the nation in positive ways, since it can replace different energy forms such as propane, heating oil, electricity, or natural gas. With today’s technology, biomass can be converted into heat, electricity, and combined heat and power. In addition, there will be a large number of employment opportunities available when the biomass sector comes in: reckon of all the staff needed to bring in the agricultural wastes, forestry residues, or even erect a collection plant for landfill gas.
Biomass can be collected from both agriculture and urban areas.
Biomass can be used for both domestic and industrial purposes. It is, but, best as an industrial use, since it can produce significant amounts of energy to be used by homes and cities. It can replace fossil fuels, and can allow a city to be independent from other sources of energy, using biomass to power its city. The city may possibly even sell some surplus to the grid. The only issue is if the city has a large amount of biomass waste available to be able to power a city year-round.
For domestic purposes, it can be done, but there are some drawbacks to it. First, everywhere will all the biomass be stored? (there needs to be a significant amount of space available to store the biomass); second, there needs to be some sort of ventillation system in place if you are burning wood in your home, and (third) relates to the second, whereby the stove, wood burner, etc. that will be burning the wood or waste has to comply to any clean air regulations or acts in the city/country. Although it will save you money in the long run, there are initiation-up costs associated with the equipment, and the ongoing care of the equipment. Farmers who have their own farm and animals can surely use waste produced from field and animals to power and generate electricity on their farm.
I have placed a link at the bottom with an article that i’m sure would be of excellent use to you. Just search for “Biomass” in the PDF file and it will take you aptly to the information.
