Palram Americas has completed the process of swapping out all low-efficiency metal halide lighting for the higher efficiency T5 lighting at its two buildings in Kutztown, Pa., the company’s main American location. Motion sensing detectors were also installed in some areas for even greater energy usage reductions.
Palram replaced a total of 368 lights replaced. The United States Department of Energy states that in 2008, the average annual electricity consumption for a U.S. residential utility customer was 11,040 KWH. Palram’s new T5 lighting is saving 681,547.78 KWH per year between two facilities.
