Lighting Retrofit and Lighting Control Installation

Project Description

Financial Energy performed a comprehensive lighting audit and then completed the lighting retrofit and installation. The area of all the facilities totaled over 1 million square feet and included the retrofit of over 15,000 fixtures and the installation of over 150 occupancy sensors.

This project provided for the removal of existing T-12 lamps with standard ballasts and replacing them with T-8 lamps with electronic ballasts. The retrofits included delamping 3 and 4 lamp fixtures to 2 lamps with appropriate reflector kits. The retrofits also included installation of compact fluorescent lamps to replace incandescents, compact fluorescent recessed can retrofit kits to replace HID lamps and ballasts. Incandescent exit signs were also replaced with LED exit signs. Occupancy sensors were also added to appropriate areas to further increase energy savings. These improvements allowed for standardization of materials, reduced energy consumption, improved comfort and reduced maintenance requirements.

Financial Energy worked with an EPA approved disposal company to recycle 20,900 lamps and 9,400 ballasts.
