The Energy Policy Act of 1992 and Executive Order 13124 requires Federal buildings to reduce their energy use by 35 percent by 2010 (compared to 1985). The Department of Homeland Security facility is one of eight Federal buildings to have already received LEED Certification. In addition, it is estimated that more than 60 Federal buildings are also vying to obtain this certification.

About the Axis DDH Ballast
A "ballast" is an electronic component that regulates voltage in fluorescent lighting. Axis Technologies Group, Inc. has developed an innovative new ballast with the aim of expanding daylight harvesting into mainstream fluorescent lighting applications. The patented Axis Dimming/Daylight Harvesting Ballast is a new technology that transforms the ballast, a once standard lighting industry staple, into a dynamic energy saving system that can reduce lighting energy costs by up to 70%. The Axis DDH Ballast utilizes an individual photo sensor to automatically adjust the amount of electrical current flowing to the light fixture, and then dims or increases lighting in conjunction with the amount of available sunlight that may be harvested from available windows and sunlight. The Axis DDH Ballast avoids "over-lit" conditions that increase energy costs by keeping lighting "tuned" to the desired level in a designated area.
