Project Overview
Eldorado Ridge converted three buildings to LED retrofit kits and panels, reducing energy use and enhancing the workplace environment.
Retrofit Benefits
-
Extended Lifespan: Rated 50,000–100,000 hours, equating to 15–30+ years of office use
-
Low Maintenance: Minimal replacements compared to fluorescents, reducing disruptions
-
Better Light Quality: Consistent color and output improve comfort and productivity
Financial Breakdown & ROI
-
Annual Energy Reduction: Estimated 80,000–100,000 kWh/year
-
Annual Energy Savings: $0.12/kWh → ≈ $9,600/year
-
Payback Period: ≈ 1.25 years (≈ 15 months)
-
-
Rebates: Prescriptive and Instant rebates applied to eligible fixtures reducing customer cost by over $4,000
Environmental Impact (Annual)
-
Carbon Reduction: Equivalent to powering 10–12 homes for a full year
-
Energy Savings: Project expected to reduce lighting energy consumption by 50–60% vs. fluorescent systems
