Sustainability Manager, forming a sustainability committee, and set measurable key performance indicators (KPIs). The guide focuses on eleven core areas, including energy efficiency , water reuse, sustainable logistics, waste reduction, biodiversity, and community engagement—each rated by impact using their “snowflake system”. FIS even provides a carbon footprint calculator. Lighting addresses waste reduction and energy efficiency as well as environmental compatibility… impact on wildlife. Rebate Summary and Confirmation A typical utility rebate summary/confirmation would contain annual kWh reduction that would be correlated to the utility carbon profile. The example below is an actual filing with National Grid (NGrid) that lists 146,345 pounds of CO 2 associated with 133,041 kWh energy reduction.
NOTE: Lighting upgrades using technologies like LEDs or magnetic induction like Snow- Bright™ should be viewed as capital improvements that immediately begin contributing to the bottom line while fulfilling long-term climate and sustainability goals . UNIQUE SNOW SPORTS VENUE LIGHTING APPLICATIONS Many slope lighting installations predate the evolution of terrain parks, freestyle competitions, snowboarding, halfpipes, and aerial events. These areas have particular requirements that include low glare, back-lighting, high contrast and competition environments. The following sections are not substitutes for detailed area designs.
