Description: Ristuccia Arena is a high profile ice rink and is used by multiple teams, both amateur and professional. Given the high volume of use, the rink energy consumption was a concern for the rink manager, however meeting the needs of the users was paramount. Thus Efficient LED Lighting Systems was tasked with determining a solution to reduce energy consumption, while still maintaining the rinks functionality. Efficient LED Lighting Systems focused on a proposal to upgrade the lighting to LED, and were able to achieve a reduction in energy consumption of over 35,000 kWh’s. In addition to this Efficient LED Lighting Systems were also able to increase the rink light levels by over 30% giving the rink light levels similar to professional ice-rinks (100 foot-candles).

Babson Skating Center - Babson College, MA

Project Costs: $15,710
Incentive: $N/A
Customer Cost: $15,710
Annual Savings (KWH): 21,199 kWh’s
Annual Savings ($): $2,951.78 (Including maintenance savings)
Estimated Payback: 5.32 Years
ROI: 19%

	Before	After
Connected Load (kW)	14.74 kW	9.9 kW
Annual kWh Usage (kWh)	64,561	43,362
Annual Lighting Costs ($)	$7,618	$5,117

Description: Representatives at Babson College were unhappy with the levels (foot-candles) and quality of light at the Babson Skating Center. Babson decided to procure proposals from vendors to upgrade the lighting over the rink, with the hope of dramatically increasing the light levels. Efficient LED Lighting Systems submitted a competitive proposal that included highly efficient (> 100 lm/W) LED fixtures, that increased light levels by over 50%, and incorporated a programmable control panel that will allow the fixtures to be dimmed (manually or at pre-set times) and turned on/off at preset times. The project was awarded to Efficient LED Lighting Systems. The turnaround time for the project was short and an aggressive schedule was set forth in an effort to have the upgrades completed before the start of the new school year. Efficient LED Lighting Systems, in association with its manufacturers and installers, were able to meet this schedule and the project was completed on time. Babson College personnel now enjoy a much better skating experience, while the college was also able to realize modest energy savings and will manage to obtain a return on their investment.
