ARRA BUY AMERICAN ACT
09 Sept 2009
Murray, Utah
Active Safety Corporation today announced that Active Safety Series 2002 and Series 2003 Photoluminescent 'glow in the dark' exit signs are compliant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act [ARRA] and are in stock now for ARRA funded projects where high and/or low level exit signs are required.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is the economic stimulus package enacted by Congress in February 2009 that is designed to revitalize the United States economy by creating American jobs and supporting American companies. Among its many initiatives, there are provisions to:
- Repair and modernize Defense Department facilities
- Improve housing for Military personnel
- Increase energy efficiency in low income housing
- Repair and moderize schools
Under Section 1605 of the ARRA, no funds appropriated by the Act may be used for a public works project unless 'all manufactured goods used … are produced in the United States of America." The Act defines a domestic manufactured end product in two parts:
- The product must be manufactured in the United States
- The cost of the domestic components must be greater than 50% of the cost of all the components.
Manufactured in Murray, Utah with a nearly all domestically made components, Active Safety Series 2002 and Series 2003 photoluminescent exit signs meet the requirements of the ARRA. Additionally, Active Safety Series 2002 and Series 2003 are listed to UL 924 and compliant to all building and fire codes [IBC, NFPA, IFC, etc].
Exit signs are required in nearly every building facility in order to designate safe egress to occupants during emergencies. Therefore nearly all building projects funded with ARRA funding will require exit signs that are a domestically manufactured end product.
Photoluminescent exit signs are a relatively new technology that use an environmentally friendly formulation of strontium aluminate crystals as the "power source" instead of electricity or radioactivity. Photoluminescent exit signs work by absorbing ambient light during normal operations and then using this stored energy to glow brightly and designate exit routes in an emergency.
Photoluminescent exits signs have been protecting 1000's of buildings throughout the United States since the early1990s. Innovation awards by Buildings Magazine, Flex Your Power have led progressive architects and engineers to recognize photoluminescent exit signs as a safer, less expensive and far more sustainable exit sign technology than LED and radioactive exit signs. As a result, an increasing number of LEED and "Green" focused projects are choosing Active Safety photoluminescent exit signs which can help secure LEED credits in multiple categories. Using EPA guidelines, over the span of 1 year,100 photoluminescent exit signs save the equivalent in carbon emissions produced by a typical car in 2 years, about 3.1 metric tons.
