On August 29th, the Student Recreation Center received an upgrade with the replacement of 36 light fixtures. The original fixtures installed over the indoor track & basketball courts were 350W fixtures which each used eight metal-halide bulbs*. The replacements are a combination of 150W and 60W LED fixtures.
The project was managed by the office of Capital Planning & Project Management with the contractor Big Shine.
As a result of this project, the University will see energy savings of 36,266 kWh per year.
How these savings translate:
