The case study below is a sample of the growing adoption of energy saving LED lights for commercial LED lighting solutions across 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: Gretz Beer Company
Highlights: Major Beer Distributor in Southeastern, PA
Address: 2801Township Line Rd. Hatfield, PA 19440
Owner: www.abwholesaler.com/Group12/GretzBeer
Opportunity for LED Lights
Gretz undertook a comprehensive new state-of-the art design for its facility in this 320,000 sq. ft. warehouse. If they had installed commonly used 450 watt Metal Halide high bay fixtures at 24/7 hours of illumination per day (8,760h/year), each fixture would have used 3,942 kWh/year. At the average electricity rate in PA of $.12/kWh, the lighting cost would have been $473.04 per fixture per year. With high bay bulb replacement and maintenance labor costs of over $48, the annual cost would have exceeded $521per fixture.
LED Lighting Solution
Independence LED ‘s 174 watt LED high bay fixture saves 275 watts per fixture, for over 64% savings with the reduced maintenance costs. The external driver and aluminum heat sinks are ideal for industrial applications.
LED Case Study Results
By reducing fixture wattage from 450 to 174, the annual savings is 2,417 kWh and $290 per fixture + the $48 in reduced bulb replacement and maintenance labor for total savings of over $338 per fixture. The saving over the long 7 year life of the LEDs (8,760h/year) is $2,315 per fixture and even higher with inflation on energy. With over 300 high bays, the annual savings is over $101,400. Independence also provided on-board motion sensors for added savings and other LEDs throughout the interior and exterior.
