The school district of Delta, British Columbia wanted to save onboth energy and maintenance costs.
Their school theater, in conjunction with BC Hydro, commissioned the project to replace 72 – 200W incandescent luminaires with 72 – LED’s operating at less than 15W. This was a one-to-one retrofit that saved the school district 93% on energy cost. The maintenance schedule on these luminaires had been a group relamp carried outtwice a year.
The LED delivered significant value by eliminating the maintenance cost and reducing the risk to personnel and property associated with the re-lamping of this installation with its high vaulted ceilings. LED delivers a product that is estimated to deliver over 70% of its initial lumens for over 16 years (based upon the school’s energy and maintenance costs).The payback on this retrofit was 2.4 years including material,labor, energy savings and a rebate of $60 per luminaire from BC Hydro.
The pictures illustrate a spectacular lighting design providing a downlight architectural appeal while delivering even illumination.
