It is widely believed that it costs between $200 and $500 for the sign cost and installation of a traditional or LED exit sign. For purposes of our analysis we have chosen costs in the low range at $280.

We have estimated the annual operating cost of LED, fluorescent and incandescent signs to be $57, $71 and $88 respectively. Our exit sign has no annual operating costs. Our analysis includes replacing each LED exit sign when they go bad at a cost of $40 ($30 for sign and $10 for labor).

In our analysis of existing locations, we have increased the cost of installation by $10 to remove the existing exit sign and cap the electricity.

Monthly inspections: According to NFPA101, electric exit signs must undergo a 30-second test every month.

Yearly inspections: NFPA101 also requires that electric exit signs simulate being on battery backup for 90 minutes every year.

Reference Letter

The Honorable Stephen T. Ayers Architect of the Capitol SB-15, U.S. Capitol Washington, DC 20515

Dear Mr. Ayers, Recent incidents at federal buildings, including the U.S. Capitol Complex, have been a sobering reminder of the unique challenges we face as we work to ensure the safety and security of the millions of Americans who visit and work in federal government buildings every day.

Effective signage to guide people to safety is just one component of sound emergency preparedness.

I write to bring to your attention a new, state-of-the-art technology that I believe may provide a cost-effective solution to some of these unique safety challenges at federal buildings.

Photoluminescent technology may be used in the form of signage, such as exit signs for office buildings with complex architectural layouts. These photoluminescent signs offer several advantages over traditional signs because they do not require electricity to operate.

In the event of an emergency, people rely on exit signs to guide them to safety. However, the vast majority of traditional exit signs require electricity to operate. If a natural disaster, terrorist attack or power outage were to occur, a federal building’s electricity supply could be compromised, rendering traditional electric signs, useless, jeopardizing the safety and security of all occupants.

Moreover, the electricity required to operate traditional electric safety signs increases building operational costs through higher electricity consumption.

Reports from Energystar.gov indicate that this technology is more energy-efficient and less costly than the old electric and LED signs.

As Energystar.gov indicates, Photoluminescent exit signs are a potential cost-saving alternative to the traditional signs in the following ways:

• Photoluminescent signs require no back-up batteries

• Photoluminescent signs require no light bulbs to replace

• Photoluminescent signs require no electricity

• Photoluminescent signs require no periodic testing

Because of these differences, photoluminescent technology can offer substantial cost savings. As we look for new and improved ways to ensure the safety and security of the people who visit and work in federal buildings in these dangerous times, I respectfully request that you give the use of photoluminescent exit and safety signs every full and fair consideration in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.

This innovative technology has the potential to save lives while saving the taxpayers money. As such, I believe it is worthy of consideration as a viable alternative to the electric signs.

Thank you in advance for your consideration and should you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to reach out to Chris Hess in my office at Chris.Hess@mail.house.gov or 202-225-2216. Additionally, please feel free to make this correspondence part of any public record.

Sincerely, Steve Chabot Member of Congress

Brad Wenstrup Member of Congress

ID Credit #1.1

Innovation in Design:

Significant Environmental Benefits

MR Credit #4

Materials and Resources:

Recycled Content

EA Credit #1

Energy and Atmosphere:

Optimizing Energy Performance

LEED Certified

To qualify for this LEED V2.2 Credit [worth up to 10 points] a building project must demonstrate improvement in the proposed building energy performance compared to a baseline criteria specified in ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1, or comply with prescriptive measures of ASHRAE ‘Advanced Energy Design Guide for Small Office Buildings’, or comply with the ‘Basis Criteria and Prescriptive Measures’ of the Advanced Buildings Benchmark.

More points are awarded to building projects using less energy than “baseline” guidelines prescribed by ASHRAE or the Advanced Buildings Benchmark.

With respect to exit signs, these guidelines are formulated on the basis of installing modern LED exit signs which use about 5 watts of power. Although the impact of a few exit signs using 5 watts is not significant, larger facilities can employ thousands of exit signs in high and low applications. Recognizing that electrically powered exit signs must be energized 24 hours/day x 365 days/year, a typical large building project with 500 LED exit signs, each using 5 watts of power, burns nearly 22,000 kwh of electricity annually, costing about $3,000 at $.14/kwh.

Since our Photoluminescent Exit Signs are charged from nearby area lighting and require no direct power, there is no related electricity cost. Consequently, our Photoluminescent Exit Signs will positively contribute to the calculations that determine the energy efficiency of a building project. Depending upon the number of exit signs in your building, this additional energy savings can be significant in obtaining points toward EA Credit #1.

There are two avenues available to obtain Innovation in Design points. Using our Photoluminescent Exit Signs works best with the avenue whereby the project team demonstrates a comprehensive approach toward employing a product or technology that has significant environmental benefits not addressed or credited in other LEED categories. The comprehensive approach targets optimizing the benefits and trade-offs of an innovation proposal throughout its life cycle phases: design, procurement, construction, operational and decommissioning.

The advantages of our Photoluminescent Exit Signs span all the life cycle phases with the following environmental benefits:

• Fewer Building Materials Required

• Energy Efficient

• High Percentage of Recycled and Recyclable Materials

• No Hazardous Materials or Wastes

• Longer Lifespan

• Less Maintenance

MR Credit #4 requires that 10% of the dollar value of permanently installed project materials consist of recycled content. The recycled content value of a material is determined by its adjusted recycled weight [=100% post consumer component weight + 50% pre-consumer component weight] multiplied by the total dollar value of the assembly.

Since several of our Photoluminescent Exit Signs are made primarily of metal with a high recycled content, these exit signs will contribute greatly toward this credit.

As an example, for a typical $89.95 aluminum wall mount Photoluminescent Exit Sign that weighs approx. 12.8 oz:

• Post-consumer recycled content component weight = 5.9 oz

• Pre-consumer recycled content component weight = 2.5 oz

• Non-recycled component weight = 4.4 ounces

Recycled content value = [100% x [5.9/12.8 + .5 x 2.5/12.8]] x $89.95 of one exit sign = $49
