Planit Energy entered this space in the fall of 2011. Our mission was to complete an Energy Saving Analysis (ESA) for 2 sport complexes (Dr. Pepper Sport Centers). The project would be a complete retro-fit of the facilities (interior/exterior) with energy efficient/ long life span LED devices. Our mission for the project as defined by Jim Lites, President|CEO of the Dallas Stars was very straightforward; improve energy efficiency, increase luminosity, elimination the shadow effect on the ice and reduce replacement/maintenance cost with a rapid return on investment (ROI).
LED devices used:
* LED High bays 364 watts with bi-level switching
* LED Tube lighting (4 ft. and 8 ft.)
* LED Shoe box lighting (interior/exterior) with bi-level switching
*LED Par lighting series
*LED Slim-line Round (SLR) series
* LED Corn Cob 360 degree beam angle
Benefits:
-
Energy efficient
-
Dramatic reduction of heat; due to metal halides (conventional lighting solution) – less demand on HVAC
-
Increased luminosity
-
Elimination of shadow effect; improved picture quality
-
Increased safety
-
Elimination of replacement cost
-
Reduction of maintenance cost
-
Environmental safe
-
Rapid return on investment (ROI)
