Description: Eagle Heights Church was having severe problems with their lighting. Firstly they were concerned with the high energy costs of the existing HID fixtures, while they were also sound issues as the lighting was emitting high level noise interfering with the sound quality within the theater. Efficient LED Lighting Systems were approached to determine an adequate solution that would solve both problems. New, highly efficient (> 100 lm/W), high-bay LED fixtures were installed that reduced energy consumption by almost 75% while dramatically improving the quality of light in the church. Additionally the noise issue was completely eliminated, which dramatically improved the acoustical properties of the facility.

Description: Anton’s Dry Cleaners currently owns and operates 44 stores throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Given their size and type of business Anton’s are very conscious of their energy consumption, associated costs, and their overall environmental impact. They are continually looking for ways to reduce their operating costs and carbon footprint. Anton’s met with Efficient LED Lighting Systems, and several other ESCO’s, to discuss possible energy conservation measures. After conducting several audits it was concluded that a systematic lighting upgrade would offer the greatest reduction in energy consumption and shortest return on investment for Anton’s Dry Cleaners. After receiving several proposals, Anton’s selected Efficient LED Lighting Systems to carry out the LED upgrades. Their decision was based on the competitive pricing (resulting in the shortest payback), experience, proposed lighting design(s), product quality and availability. Currently 29 of the largest stores have been retrofitted and Anton’s Dry Cleaners are already saving over $65,000 annually in their electricity costs. Plans are in place to upgrade the lighting in the remaining stores and to develop other energy conservation measures to implement that can further assist in increasing efficiency and reducing consumption.
