Situation

Tyco was interested in identifying the benefits associated with LED lighting technology to reduce energy consumption and improve light quality within their Fire Protection manufacturing facility in Madison, AL. Tyco was assessing the viability of deploying LED lighting technology as a new standard for all its manufacturing facilities, and they selected this facility as a pilot for the project. Their objective was to use this project to render a proof of concept for both the cost savings and lighting quality objectives associated with the lighting system upgrade.

Solution

Eco Engineering’s audit revealed that across the production, office, and exterior work areas of this facility a total of 500 fixtures needed to be upgraded to LED technology. This included installing new LED high bay fixtures in the production area, LED retrofit kits for existing ceiling troffers in the office, and LED wall pack and pole lights across the exterior areas of the facility. We installed occupancy controls across the work areas to reduce the fixture operating hours during non-occupied periods.
