WASHINGTON--ILOS corporation-Meteor Lighting is the only lighting company to be chosen as a sponsor of the Department of Energy’s Solar Decathlon 2009. As a result, 105 Meteor solar LED lights will be installed on the main thoroughfare in the National Mall in Washington DC this October. Other sponsors of this event include BP and National Geographic.
The Solar Decathlon is a competition in which 20 college and university student teams compete to design, build, and operate the most attractive, effective, and energy-efficient solar-powered house. This year’s event will take place on the National Mall in October. In keeping with the patriotic theme, red, white and blue
Meteor solar LED lights will be on display.
Before being accepted for installation at the National Mall, Meteor Solar LED paver/ground lights had to go through a series of sophisticated tests conducted by the engineers of NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory). Meteor Solar products have been approved by the United States’ primary laboratory for renewable energy and energy efficiency research and development as meeting the standards for high-quality, innovative and durable solar lighting products.
In addition to being sponsor, Meteor Lighting has also formed a partnership with three university teams(out of twenty competing schools), including Rice University, Penn State and Team California (Santa Clara University / California College of the Arts). Meteor Solar LED lighting fixtures will be used in all these schools’ solar houses.
Meteor solar LED lights are ideal for this purpose. They require no additional wiring or transformers for installation and cost nothing to power.
All Meteor solar LED paver/ground light units are available in five colors: red, green, blue, amber and white. They are completely self-contained and self-powered, emitting no harmful Co2 to the environment. They are made of high-quality, resilient materials (SUS304 stainless steel) that make them suitable for high-end construction
projects. The units have a high load tolerance, meet the requirements for IP68 certification and have a 7 to 10 year long-lifespan ultra-capacitor power storage capacity.

The Beef Checkoff Program was established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill. The checkoff assesses $1 per head on the sale of live domestic and imported cattle, in addition to a comparable assessment on imported beef and beef products. States retain up to 50 cents on the dollar and forward the other 50 cents per head to the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board, which administers the national checkoff program, subject to USDA approval.

WASHINGTON-- As part of a clean-energy transformation, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is targeting nearly one-quarter of its $1.4 billion in funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to investments in clean energy generation and energy conservation.
"These investments help spur new energy savings and, at the same time, reduce our environmental footprint," Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki said. "The President is leading us in a new direction away from our dependence on foreign oil and the destabilizing effects of a changing climate. Since hospitals use such large amounts of energy, we need to step up our efforts to transition to clean-energy technologies."
VA will direct more than $68 million to renewable sources, including solar, wind and geothermal energy and has dedicated nearly $238 million toward retrofitting existing buildings to use energy and water more efficiently.
Those efforts, planned for 16 states and Puerto Rico, include solar-powered electricity and hot water energy systems at VA hospitals in Arizona, Texas and southern California; geothermal energy in Idaho; and wind turbines in several states.
To use energy and water more efficiently, facilities are replacing or upgrading windows and roofs; upgrading lighting to more efficient types; automating lighting controls and energy management systems; installing low-flow faucets and toilets and other water-conserving equipment; installing variable-volume air handling units; and enhancing boiler control systems and tune-ups.
"These measures, identified through regularly scheduled energy audits, facility condition assessments, and ongoing monitoring by energy engineers and other staff, are important steps in 'greening' VA," Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki said. "In conjunction with the investments in clean energy generation and other green projects that VA is making through its Department-level Green Management Program, these retrofits are key steps in reducing VA's environmental footprint."
Overall, the Administration has targeted more than $60 billion in funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to clean-energy investments.

WASHINGTON--The recently completed building at 1129 20th Street has been upgraded with sustainability in mind.
The project is located in the heart of Washington, DC's central business district. The original eight-story structure was built in 1968 and had no significant upgrades since its construction. It originally contained 136,000 sf and two levels of underground parking. FOX Architects was able to increase the building in height two floors, which increased the size of the building by 45,000 sf. A new facade and new building systems have been woven through the existing structure.
"It's been said the greenest building may be the one that's already built," commented J.P. Spickler, AIA, Principal-in-Charge of the project. "This project is about the reuse and transformation of the building into a new, sustainable, state-of-the-art office building. Rather than tear the building down, we gave it new life."
The building's U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED-New Construction certification is pending. Based on the points total as of the completion of construction, the building will be certified at a Gold level.
