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: W.F. Bruen Rescue Squad Highlights: Bruen Rescue responded to 1,832 calls for help in 2012 Address: 1116 Redmill Rd, Rensselaer NY 12144 Owner: Municipality Opportunity for LED Lights Like many Public Safety and Service facilities Bruen Rescue had a combination of inefficient 95 watt 8’ T12 fluorescent tubes and troffers with two and four 32 Watt T8 tubes. With a 24/7 run time of 8,760h/year, each 8’ tube used 832 kWh per year. At a $.16/kWh electricity rate, the T12 tubes cost $113.15 per year to operate. LED Lighting Solution Independence LED’s Authorized Reseller, ERSI, based in Albany, NY, provided the LED solution with a pair of 4’ 16 watt LED tubes to create an average energy savings of 66% over the existing fluorescent tubes. LED Case Study Results By reducing the critical 24/7 bay area 8’ tube wattage by an average of 66%, the annual savings is 552 kWh and $88.30 per 8’ length every year. Over the approximate 7 year life of the LED’s at 24h/day, the lifetime energy savings is over $600. The environmental impact of the retrofit is significant. At the U.S. average of 1.34 lbs of CO2 emission reduction for every kWh saved, each 8’ tube retrofit saves 5,065 lbs of CO2 over the long life of the energy saving LED technology.
