Lighting plays a key role; long-lasting interior and exterior LED bulbs save more than 55 percent of energy consumption annually compared to traditional lighting methods.
The parking area is illuminated by six 60W SL-Dolphin street lights in neutral white with Phoenix lighting pattern (see chart) featuring a luminous flux of ca. 6000 lm and a color temperature of 5000 K. The asymmetric wide-view angle ensures high uniformity at pole heights of 6-8m and therefore is ideally suited for parking and roadway applications, says Everlight.
Existing Everlight SL-Dolphin lights are now being shipped with a patented electronic ballast—developed and produced—in Germany that has various dimming options, a life span up to eight times compared to other LED street light solutions or conventional street lights, a high-temperature protection mechanism and an efficiency of 93 percent.
The restaurant's guest area is equipped with red interior lights in Italian design using Everlight's A-Lamp replacement LED lamp as the light source. This implementation, realized by German company E2, features a high uniformity of illumination due to the A-Lamp's glare-free light distribution.
The eight LEDs cannot be seen from the outside, resulting in a pleasant lighting effect resembling that of a frosted light bulb. The A-Lamp's power consumption of 7.5 W is more than 50 percent less than the 18W of an energy-saving lamp with a comparable luminance.

A new energy efficient fast food restaurant in Waghäusel, Germany, uses renewable energy sources to supply a third of its power.
Burger King made a pioneering step Monday by opening its first energy efficient restaurant. Located in Waghäusel, a town in southwestern Germany, the new restaurant was developed in conjunction with Wirsol Solar AG which utilized state-of-the-art technology and renewable energy sources in order to supply a third of the power needed by the restaurant.
The restaurant's design includes energy saving features such as:
Also, Burger King has included a rainwater reclamation system which is used for providing external irrigation.
Though other fast food restaurants such as McDonald's have implemented several energy saving measures Burger King's new restaurant is the first to apply renewable energy technology to an entire outlet.
