The case study below is a model of the growing adoption 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: Morgan Stanley World Headquarters
Highlights: 42 Stories with 1.3 Million Sq. Ft.
Address: 1585 Broadway New York, NY 10036
Owner: Morgan Stanley + Hines Management
Opportunity for LED Lights
Morgan Stanley demonstrated national leadership in energy intelligence by retrofitting its World Headquarters in Times Square with LED tubes, making it the first major high rise headquarters in America to embrace the new technology. The existing 4’ 32 watt T8 fluorescent tubes, running 24/7 for 8,760h/year, in areas like the exit stairs, each consumed 280 kWh per year. At $.18/kWh, the T8 tubes cost $50.46 each per year to operate.
LED Lighting Solution
Independence LED provided an LED solution with 15 watt LED tubes that created an average energy savings of 53% over the existing fluorescent tubes. The new LEDs also reduced the maintenance labor to replace the less efficient fluorescent tubes that burn out more frequently.
LED Case Study Results
By reducing the tube wattage by an average of 53%, the annual savings is 148.92 kWh and $26.81 per tube every year. Over the approximate 7 year life of the LEDs at 24h/day, the lifetime energy savings is over $183 for every tube, plus 1,367 lbs in CO2 emission reduction. The building was completed in 1990, and as a young architect, Independence LED’s CEO, Charlie Szoradi, worked on the high profile project while employed at Gwathmey Siegel Architects in New York City.
