NEW YORK – Barbizon Lighting Company has rolled out a new program called New Light Initiative. The “NLI” team is working within our organization to implement sustainable practices into all facets of Barbizon¹s operations. The company is also developing educational materials to be used both internally to promote sustainable practices within Barbizon and externally to educate customers and the industry.
The lighting systems in theaters, television studios, and even in houses of worship are among the least energy-efficient parts of those buildings. Cutting energy consumption, whether in a new building or throughout an existing system, can be an overwhelming task for a facilities manager, technical director or staff technician to undertake on their own. That is why many in the industry rely on Barbizon’s expertise to help them create a sustainability plan that is tailor-made for a specific facility’s needs and usage.
Barbizon has more than 60 years experience in the lighting industry and our staff, including a full-time LEED-accredited professional, understand the technology and benefits of the wealth of products available as well as the application challenges of a lighting system. Barbizon is uniquely positioned to provide energy efficient solutions for the entire lighting system meeting technological and design requirements.
Said President Jonathan Resnick, “Barbizon’s commitment to sustainable practices encompasses our own operational efforts as well as encouraging sustainability in our industry through research and education. Barbizon’s business model has always been about providing our customers with access to products and information from which they can make choices.”
Said Steve Cullipher, Barbizon Florida Systems Manager, LEED AP, “Sustainability in any form is most successful as a choice. Our New Light Initiative has been created to ensure that people have the factual information needed to make good choices in sustainability.”
