Infiniti of Denver's Efficient Lighting

Aug. 5, 2011 - PRLog -- Infiniti of Denver has upgraded to energy efficient lighting throughout their facility at 2990 South Havana Street.  The lighting retrofit project has improved the quality of light and lowered maintenance costs in addition to saving energy.

Infiniti of Denver teamed with the lighting professionals at Heritage Electric http://www.HESelectric.com  who performed an audit to identify energy efficient lighting opportunities and engineered a custom solution to meet their needs.  Heritage Electric also prepared and submitted rebate applications to XCEL Energy for each phase of the lighting project.  The XCEL Energy rebates to Infiniti of Denver for lighting are over $20,000.  

The calculated energy savings for Infiniti of Denver is 184,000 kWh annually, resulting in greenhouse gas reductions of 166 tons per year.

The offices, common areas and service bays areas were converted from T12 to T8 lamps with NEMA high efficiency ballasts, resulting in watt savings averaging 50%.  

The showroom and lot lights were converted to induction lamps, which lowered the wattage per fixture from 1075 watts to 300 watts, a 70% energy savings. Using induction lamps to illuminate Car Dealerships has wonderful benefits besides energy savings. The high Color Rendering Index of the Induction lamp enhances the colors of the products on display. Then you need to consider the long life (100,000 hr) that dramatically reduces maintenance, this is of great value for applications where buckets trucks are often needed for re-lamping. The life span of one Induction lamp will replace five HID lamp changes.
On Havana Street is working with the City of Aurora, XCEL Energy, and local contractors, like Heritage Electric, to help our businesses be more energy efficient and save money in the long run.
