Terry's Automotive Group - Smart Energy Fund
History
The purpose of this petition (David Corradino) is to: install a new lighting control panel for exterior site lighting; standardize the entire facility (excluding outdoor lighting) to replace the variable lighting fixtures, most of which are existing T12 fixtures, with 25w T8 electronic fixtures; to replace all the existing 400w Metal Hallide (MH) interior fixtures with 6 lamp T8 25w fixtures; and to replace all the candelabra 40w lamps with 2.5w LED lights at Terry’s Lincoln Mercury car dealership located at 9401 W. 143rd Street. The project amounts to approximately 62 circuits changed at the dealership.
The petitioner has submitted an application to the Smart Energy Fund (SEF) for $20,000 to do the improvements, which will reduce lighting energy consumption from 932,000 kWh annually to 464,000 kWh annually. This is a 50% reduction in the amount of energy consumed for lighting at the car dealership. The improvements are valued up to a total cost of $93,800. The petitioner notes that this is approximately a $59,887 savings per year on the executive summary of the bid. The actual net annual savings, after recalculation for actual hours of operation, is $43,364.50.
As a summary, the car dealership will control 154 lighting fixtures related to outdoor lighting, including the parking lot lights and change 37 lighting fixtures in the shop/ service building, 24 lighting fixtures in the showroom, and 164 lighting fixtures in the offices and parts and storage sections of the building. In total 379 lighting fixtures will be updated to or via energy efficient systems.
