an engineer for a company that makes photoluminescent exit signs. I
visited this parking garage during Altbuild and put together the
following information for the architects and engineers who speced this
project.<br> >>><br> The City of Santa Monica is
understandably proud of their new 6 story, $29 million LEED certified
parking garage. The structure features photovoltaic roof panels, a
storm drain treatment system, recycled construction materials,
fluorescent lighting and energy efficient mechanical systems. To
facilitate emergency egress there are 43 exit signs, 26 of which are
LED [light emitting diode] models and 17 are radioactive tritium models.</p><p>LED
exit signs are considered hazardous and controlled by the EPA because
they contain heavy metals [i.e. nickel, cadmium & mercury] in their
circuit boards and battery packs. Also considered hazardous,
Radioactive exit signs contain between 7 – 12 curries of radioactivity
and are controlled by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Overall, the
exit signs in the Santa Monica Civic Center Parking Structure contain
over 4 pounds of battery/circuit board materials and about 170 curries
of radioactivity.</p><p>By code, LED exit signs must be illuminated
24×7 and typically they use around 5 watts of power. Although the
primary power source for the Civic Center Parking Garage exit signs is
solar, in non-solar situations each LED exit sign annually uses 43 kwh
which the EPA associates with over 60 pounds of greenhouse gasses.
Because of their radioactive liability, radioactive exit signs are
banned in all US Department of Defense facilities, most schools and
many corporations.</p><p>A sustainable exit sign option is to use
non-electric, non-radioactive ‘glow-in-the-dark’ photoluminescent exit
signs. Nationally used in thousands of buildings and many LEED
projects, high quality photoluminescent exit signs are approved by the
Santa Monica Fire Marshal, meet all building codes and are made of
recycled aluminum and non-toxic strontium oxide aluminate. They are
activated by fluorescent lighting and require minimal attention over
their 25+ year life since they have no batteries, lamps or radioactive
tubes to replace and dispose of.</p><p>Additionally, photoluminescent
exit signs are less expensive to install and operate/maintain than LED
and radioactive exit signs. Typical installation savings average $50 –
$100 and operations/maintenance savings average $10 – $20 per year. On
this project, by installing photoluminescent exit signs, the City of
Santa Monica could have saved $3500 in capital costs and around
$500/year in recurring operations/maintenance costs.
