The Project
An Aelux comprehensive lighting audit found the facility was full of inefficient high pressure sodium fixtures. Aelux recommended an LED wallpack solution combined with occupancy sensors to replace the old HPS fixtures. Aelux proposed lighting and sensors to be installed depending on location in the parking garage in order to maximize lighting levels and safety when-needed, while minimize energy consumption. Aelux secured a rebate that covered 7% of the project cost, with a payback period of 49 months. Brandywine Realty Trust now saves an additional $26,000 a year on their energy costs.
