Common lighting issues in parking garages include dark shadowy areas, poor light quality and continued maintenance expense. Properly illuminated parking structures create an inviting environment, which creates a sense of security for both pedestrians and drivers.

For this 30,000 square feet 2-level parking garage we implemented a one for one replace of 33 HPS fixtures with high-intensity fluorescent (HIF) vapor-tight fixtures. The project included installation of daylight/motion sensors around the perimeter of the 2nd floor. This lighting upgrade was completed within 3-days with minimal disruption to the building occupants.

Benefits:

• Cut demand usage in half
• Reduced 42,005 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions

Cost Savings:

• Annual utility and maintenance savings of $3,000
• Rebates & incentives of more than $18,900
