Dec. 4, 2006
Atlantic Energy Concepts recently designed and built an office building to showcase the energy-saving technologies it can offer its customers. The new facility's lighting system, controlled through motion sensors, was designed to consume 30% less wattage than allowed by the The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE ) and International Engineering Society ( IES) Standard 90.1-2001, which allows for a tax deduction through The Energy Policy Act of 2005
