Sustainability in Practice

Home > About TLP > Sustainability in Practice

We are committed to sustainable design.  Because of this commitment, we were selected in 2008 by the US House of Representatives to relight the US Capitol Dome as a model of energy efficiency and sustainability. 

Ardmore Farmers Market at nightIn all of our projects, we pursue the “triple bottom line” by designing lighting to create places that support and delight people. We use natural resources efficiently and select methods that are cost-effective.  By using light where and when needed, avoiding over-lighting, and taking full advantage of daylight and lighting controls, our lighting designs deliver maximum effect with minimum environmental impact.

We have played instrumental roles in many sustainable projects.  Several of our LEED registered projects are listed below with their levels of certification.
