Energy Co. completes first phase of Energy Efficient lighting

Lime Energy has announced the completion of the first phase of an energy efficiency retrofit of a major airline's maintenance hangar at San Francisco International Airport.

The project involved replacing nearly 500 lighting fixtures in offices and work areas as part of a comprehensive lighting upgrade that will save operating costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This project utilized strategically located sensors and daylight harvesting that will automatically turn lights off when the space is not in use or when there is enough sunlight to provide adequate natural lighting.

Sensors are particularly important in this application because of the variable nature of the maintenance work performed in the hangar.
