Lighting Retrofit

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 2.5 million square feet and included the retrofit of over 33,000 fixtures.

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 also included installation of compact fluorescent lamps to replace incandescents, and converting 8-foot fixtures to 4-foot. 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 39,000 lamps and 21,000 ballasts.

The project was divided into multiple phases over the course of 3 years. The information below represents the total of all phases combined.
