Desafío

This large industrial facility in Meriden, Connecticut operated 896 450-watt HiBay fixtures across 222,457 square feet, drawing a combined 403.2 kW during production hours. Running 10 hours a day, five days a week, the aging high-intensity lighting system represented a substantial and avoidable energy load. The facility owner sought a retrofit solution that would meaningfully reduce both consumption and operating costs without disrupting floor operations.

Solución

VK Light Solutions replaced all 896 HiBay fixtures with DLC-listed 120-watt LED HiBay units, reducing the connected lighting load from 403.2 kW to 107.5 kW. Occupancy sensors were installed throughout the facility to deliver an additional 30% runtime reduction on the new LED system, capturing savings well beyond the fixture swap alone. The combined approach — efficient fixtures paired with demand-based controls — maximized the energy reduction achievable within the existing operating schedule.

Ahorro energético

The retrofit eliminated 852,634 kWh of consumption annually, representing an 81% reduction in lighting energy use at the facility's standard rate of $0.180 per kWh. That translates to $153,474 in verified annual dollar savings returned directly to the facility's operating budget. The project also avoids 724,739 pounds of CO2 emissions each year as a result of the reduced electrical demand.

Resultados

The Meriden facility now operates a 107.5 kW lighting system in place of its former 403.2 kW load, producing significantly better light distribution at the task level while eliminating the maintenance demands associated with legacy HiBay technology. The occupancy sensors ensure energy is consumed only when and where it is needed, extending the practical value of the new fixtures. At $153,474 in annual savings, the facility owner gains a strong, measurable return on the investment year over year.

Cómo funciona el cálculo del ahorro

La misma fórmula que usamos en cada auditoría energética comercial, mostrada abiertamente.

Antes

896 luminarias × 450W × 10h × 5d × 52sem ÷ 1,000
= 1,048,320 kWh / año
× $0.18/kWh
= $188,698 / año

Después

896 luminarias × 120W × 10h × 5d × 52sem ÷ 1,000
= 279,552 kWh / año
× $0.18/kWh
= $50,319 / año

Ahorro anual

Nota: la cifra destacada de 73% / $138,378/año puede diferir ligeramente de la fórmula anterior cuando se incluyen en la cifra principal la reducción de tiempo de uso por sensores de movimiento, las compensaciones por reembolsos, los cargos por demanda o el ahorro en carga térmica del HVAC.
