Shell Canada - Energy Savings Program

Meeting the world's growing energy needs and protecting the environment requires new technology, partnerships and ways of operating.  Shell is continually looking for ways to reduce the environmental impact of their operations.

Northern Electric Canada Ltd. has just completed the re-fixturing and lighting for 42 retail gas outlets.  The program replaced all, old incondescent fixtures with new, low-efficiency LED and high-efficiency lighting.   The next time you visit your neighbourhood Shell Canada outlet take a careful look at their commitment!





   

Calgary Co-op Wine & Sprits

Northern Electric Canada Ltd. has just completed the new Crowfoot and Oakridge locations Calgary Co-op Wine & Spirit stores.  The Co-op Wine & Spirit stores are high-end outlets with elegant and very function- specific lighting requirements.  The lighting design/build was challenging and a lot of fun do.  It's been gratifying to see the end result, although the camera-phone photos don't do it justice.    






Fill Your Life with Music!

Set the mood with music.  

Center Stage Media installed a 6-Zone audio system in this home, allowing its owners to enjoy music throughout the house.  The speakers are nearly invisible and were installed in the kitchen, great room, flex room, bedroom, ensuite and even the outdoor patio.  Controls are provided in each zone of the home and a remote controls are provided for added convenience.  Here are a few photos for you to see, unfortunately you can't "hear" what we are taking about!

Home Entertainment Elegance!

We just completed this walk-out basement media room development. The installation thoughtfully addressed the need for audio/music and home theatre. Both systems, as well as ambient lighting are integrated into a single, modular control system which is extremely easy to operate. Note the clean, "speakers off the floor" aesthetics which provides a "kid friendly" environment and yields maximum usable floor space.

Even the most tech-savvy of DIYer has almost choked themselves to death trying to organize a home theatre setup. The magnitude of wires alone can be a real hazard to your mental and physical health. If you want things done right, and to look as awesome as this, you'll probably have to go with a professional.In this mix from top to bottom is the amp, HD DVD player, standard DVD, Feedback Destroyer and even a VHS player. All this awesome, and it doesn't look like a rat's nest.
