80 Landscape Architect and Specifier News Ford Park (Continued from page 78) Her selection of LEDs with future control provisions speaks to the excellent opportunity this lighting technology provides, not only for static energy conservation enhancements, such as high/low light level occupancy sensor control, but also completes institutional-level adaptive control for exterior lighting, without the expense and inconvenience of using traditional wire and conduit. ANP Lighting design engineers developed product drawings in just two days. Provisions were made in the design and construction of the product to work in conjunction with the lighting controls. The ANP Lighting fixtures include the 42-watt Sansi LEDs to provide abundant, clean light where necessary, without intruding into the nearby neighborhood. The project uses a low-profile decorative cast aluminum base (CB1201), the foundation for a four inch diameter straight, smooth aluminum pole with a continuous weld through to the simple 1 ΒΌ" aluminum pipe arm (PA321-1). The pipe arm holds a handsome, round luminaire (LA1943) with a 42-watt LED platform array using Type III light distribution in 5,000K color. Note: 5,000K color temperatures and over are called cool colors (bluish white). Top The town of Vail, Colo., hired the Logan Simpson Design team, led by Jana mcKenzie and Kurt Friesen, to prepare a master plan for Ford Park. The focus was to create a front door for the park, develop improved parking and enhance the park entrance. A key objective was to improve pedestrian and vehicular connectivity between the parking lots along the north edge of the park with the gerald r. Ford Amphitheater to the south. Bottom The new maintenance/restroom building has a green roof (Liveroof) of sedums, and is built into the hillside to visually reduce its impact. The new LEDs reflect off a mid-march snowfall, also highlighting the building's thin ledge stone veneer (Telluride Stone Co., Santa Fe) seat walls.
