We recently attended the Buildings NY trade show for the first time and were delighted to encounter building owners and managers with a new set of distinct concerns.

Energy-efficient chandeliers and fluorescent flush-mount fixtures were the top requested items. Check out one of my favorite Energy Star® rated Collections below:
