LED lights can provide the same amount of light levels as the traditional sodium and metal halide fixtures, but require less energy to light the site. T. J. Boyle Associates has extensive experience in site lighting design, and has the in-house ability to design lighting plans with LED fixtures to be permitted in urban locations, all while meeting LEED exterior lighting standards. We can easily tailor our bid or construction plans for submittal for LEED credit approval.

Through careful consideration of the site conditions and layout plan, we can locate landscaping and trees in a way that helps reduce the 'Heat Island Effect' as recommended by the LEED green building certification system. By positioning trees in strategic locations and using high albedo (white) materials that reflect heat from the sun, the heat generated from the site can be prevented and/or mitigated. We can include shade calculations that document reductions in the Heat Island Effect, which can then be submitted for LEED credit approval.
