Concrete and Rubber Lamps by Renate Vos Netherlands-based industrial designer Renate Vos created a series of experimental pendant lamps using an unusual combination of concrete and silicone rubber. Concrete Bin is a self-produced oval light that is a mostly concrete shade with a border of translucent silicone rubber that emits a warm glow. The Small and Big conic models are produced and distributed by Serax. Right now, Vos and Serax are also working on an extra-large conic version.
Success Stories Flexibility in Sustainability LEC presently uses a combination of high efficiency natural gas boilers, ground source heat pumps, heat recovery from building cooling, and solar thermal panels to heat hot water. Depending on the temperature of returning water, LEC natural gas boilers have a nominal efficiency between 87% and 98%, a rate that exceeds stand-alone boilers typically installed in multi-unit residential buildings. Heat from natural gas boilers is supplemented with energy from a number of alternative energy projects, including heat pumps that pull heat from the ground, heat pumps that use the heat rejected from cooling buildings, and solar thermal panels installed on the City Library. Solar Energy Solar energy is free and with highly efficient collectors, LEC is harvesting solar radiation to provide free heat to the district energy system. Geothermal Energy Geo-exchange systems use the naturally stored heat in the earth's surface, in oceans and large bodies of water. Contact Info
