Peerless® is a leading advocate for environmental
conservation within the lighting industry. Our
philosophy is less is more: less energy consumption,
less waste of lamp and fixture materials, and reduced
ecological footprint.
Peerless has always designed lighting
fixtures that use high efficiency fluorescent lamps, and
in fact we pioneered the concept of indirect lighting, a
healthier, more energy efficient approach to lighting
offices and educational environments.
We introduced
HOT-5™ technology to North America, developing
luminaires that make ultimate use of advanced T5
high-output lamping, dimming ballasts and controls,
further reducing energy consumption.
Recently we’ve conducted
research into the effects of lamp operating
temperatures on performance, allowing us to further
increase efficiency by ensuring that all our luminaires
are thermally optimized. We also have designed
HOT-5+ products to achieve the lamp manufacturers’
peak output rating of 5000 lumens, reducing energy and
materials usage, including lamp maintenance and disposal
costs.
Like all
Acuity Brands Lighting Companies, Peerless is a
member of the
U.S.
Green Building Council and complies with all
existing environmental regulations. We recycle 100% of
our scrap raw material, and insist that our suppliers
have strict recycling policies as well.
Whether you’re designing to local
code,
ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1,
or to meet requirements for
LEED certification, choosing Peerless® fixtures will help you achieve all your energy
efficiency and sustainability goals.
