The case study below is a model of the growing use of energy saving LED lights for commercial LED lighting solutions cross a broad range of applications. If you would like to submit a case study, please contact us via http://www.greenandsave.com/contact_us.html
Project: Urban Health Plan (UHP) Simpson Pavilion
Highlights: First U.S. New Health Care Facility with LEDs
Address: 1065 Southern Boulevard, Bronx, New York 10459
Owner: Urban Health Plan (www.urbanhealthplan.org)
Opportunity for LED Lights
Lighting consumes a significant amount of electricity for health care facilities. In 2011, UHP took the groundbreaking initiative to include LEDs throughout its 54,000 sq. ft. new Simpson Pavilion. For 24/7 areas with 8,760 hours/year of operation, the high $.20/kWh electricity rate would have burdened UHP with $56 per tube of operating cost each year on typical 32 Watt 4’ or U tube fluorescents. Even other areas running 73 hour/week would have cost $24 per tube.
LED Lighting Solution
Independence LED provided a diverse range of LED solutions including its signature linear tube that saves over 53%, running on only 15 Watts instead of the traditional 32 Watt fluorescents.
LED Case Study Results
By using LEDs vs. fluorescents, the annual savings is 148.91 kWh per tube in 24/7 areas, yielding electricity savings of $29.78 per tube/year. Over the LED life, the energy savings is over $204 per tube and over 1,367 lbs of CO2. UHP is now open. Health care facility administrators can visit or at least learn more about saving 50% on electricity. With 2.9 billion sq. ft. of U.S. health care facilities (Census) and one tube on average for 32 sq. ft., the annual savings is billions of dollars.
