Full Spectrum Solutions new green manufacturing facility illuminated with EverLast®

Jackson, MI - Having outgrown its current home, Full Spectrum Solutions began construction of its new state-of- the-art manufacturing facility in 2008. The new building, located just down the road from its current location, is approximately five times the size of its current facility and move-in is scheduled for early summer 2009.

Full Spectrum Solutions' new facility will house the main corporate offices and greatly expand U.S. manufacturing capabilities. Upon its completion, the building will be a LEED-certified structure, indicating it has met stringent resource usage criteria established by the U.S. Green Building Council.

The 70,000 square foot "green" building features solar panels to power heating and air conditioning, recycled energy-efficient window glass and a rooftop rainwater capture system to supplement city water. Near the loading docks outside, Full Spectrum Solutions installed pervious concrete that allows water to flow through it and into the watershed, negating the need for a retention pond.

Other unique green features include geothermal heating and cooling that will draw heat from a line sunk 150 feet below the building foundation, and solar tracking skylights that integrate with daylight sensors to dim the EverLast® induction lighting fixtures when natural light is available. Each skylight is attached to a GPS unit that will follow the sun throughout the day, and a series of mirrors inside each one will reflect a steady stream of light into the building. Full Spectrum Solutions new manufacturing plant will be completely illuminated by a variety of EverLast® induction fixtures.
