Follow on Google News | Empire State Building Company Selects Lutron Lighting Control to Help Achieve Sustainability GoalsEnergy-saving lighting control manufacturer Lutron Electronics announced today that it has been selected by the Empire State Building Company, LLC, owner of the Empire State Building (ESB), the World's Most Famous Office Building
ESB is undergoing a building-wide retrofit to improve energy efficiency and financial performance as part of the Clinton Climate Initiative’s Building Retrofit program. The project is designed to reduce the building’s energy use by 38% and energy bills by $4.4 million a year, while also preventing 105,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions over the next 15 years. ESB pre-built tenant spaces offer companies turnkey solutions for building out offices that exactly meet their needs. The ESB’s goals for the energy retrofit of these spaces include: 1.Enhancing performance while reducing renovation costs 2.Reducing the cost and time required for future tenant improvements 3.Not compromising on tenant service and comfort 4.Adopting solutions that integrate and interoperate with other building systems The use of Lutron solutions in these spaces will help the ESB meet their goals and offer potential tenants the opportunity to operate in energy-efficient spaces while saving energy and benefiting from reduced electric bills. Lutron solutions used in the ESB include: •Occupancy/ •Wireless components for easy retrofit and minimal disruption To purchase Lutron Maestro Wireless click here http://www.electricsuppliesonline.com/ To purchase Lutron Grafik Eye click here http://www.electricsuppliesonline.com/ To purchase Lutron Dimmer click here http://www.electricsuppliesonline.com/ These products deliver world-class performance and meet stringent return-on-investment requirements as defined by ESB ownership. In fact, with the adoption of Lutron control solutions, the installed payback period for lighting controls was reduced from 6 years to 2.75 years. Energy and financial savings are critical as older buildings like ESB are converted to new, sustainable standards. Lighting uses the majority of electricity in a typical commercial building (39% of annual electricity use3) and a considerable amount of building peak loads (30% of peak electricity use4). Lutron is an acknowledged leader in providing smart, scalable, integrated and affordable solutions with proven technology that can reduce lighting electricity by up to 65% on any given project1. Across the country, Lutron estimates that its products – including lighting controls and sensors – save the nation nearly 10 billion kilowatt hours of electricity, which is approximately $1 billion in utility costs, nearly 7 million tons of CO2 emissions, or the equivalent of more than 7 large coal power plants2. In addition to creating a simple, repeatable, whole-building retrofit solution, ESB ownership is leading the industry in sustainable design for commercial retrofits. According to Malkin, Lutron was highly committed to helping the project’s designers, specifiers and contractors understand how to estimate, install, program and use these new products and solutions as efficiently as possible. With more than 50 years of experience in energy-saving innovation, Lutron was a perfect fit. End
