To save additional energy when the gymnasium is not in use, thecenter turns off the main gymnasium lights and only utilizes the LEDlights above the track.
The facility’s 25-yard indoor swimming pool, which features a wading pool andobservation balcony, was lit with 400-watt high-pressure sodium fixtures thatconsume 458 watts when considering ballast consumption. To reduce costs, thefacility waited until a handful of high-pressure sodium fixtures burnt out beforethey replaced 27 of the yellowing fixtures with the DLC-qualified 70-watt FullCutoff LED Wall Packs.
The new bright white LED fixtures eliminated the yellow tinge previously present inthe pool and walking track areas. Additionally, the retrofit will save the center772,650 kilowatt (kWh) of energy and $55,129 in energy and maintenance savingsthroughout the L70-rated 50,000 hour lifetime ofthe LED fixtures, based on a $.65 kWh energy rate.
Funded in part through a grant from Illinois CleanEnergy Now, the metro center purchased the LEDoutdoor fixtures through Crescent Electric inPrinceton, Illinois.
