Bank Replaces Outdated T12 Lighting With NZLED® Retrofits
Republic Bank of Hodgkins, IL needed a high quality energy efficient lighting solution for their ugly, outdated T12 2-foot fluorescent light fixtures. In addition to improving the light aesthetics, Republic Bank wanted their lighting upgrade to be implemented as quickly and painlessly as possible.
Prior to the NetZero USA® lighting retrofit, the 2×2 light fixtures were burning 3 35W U-Bend lamps for a total of 105 watts each hour. The NZLED® 0327 2’x 2′ lighting retrofit handled by NetZero USA® saw these fixtures upgraded for energy efficiency and better light. The resulting light – shown in the picture above – was dramatically enhanced, and, best of all, light fixture energy consumption was reduced to just 30 watts per hour!
Republic Bank’s T12 lighting conversion to NetZero USA’s LED lighting included a 74.8% energy savings, or more than 24,600 kWh each year. The LED retrofit included a payback period of 20 months thanks to over $8,100 dollars worth of incentives, including a $4,500 dollar utility rebate.
Additionally, 17 metric tons of CO2 equivalent will be saved each year. Republic Bank will realize an estimated savings of $30,798 dollars over the 10 year LED warranty period offered by NetZero USA® on this incredible lighting project!
