running up the savings

Boston University selects GE Lighting to produce ﬁrst-place savings at its Track and Tennis Center

GE’s Albeo

THE SITUATION

Boston University was in search of a lighting upgrade for its Track and Tennis Center that would improve light levels and reduce energy as part of its ongoing energy-efﬁciency initiatives. The University’s Building Automation Services team knew they needed an LED high bay lighting solution, and after rigorously testing several lighting solutions, they turned to GE’s Albeo

THE SOLUTION

The Albeo ABHX Series LED high bay lighting ﬁxtures have a rated lifetime of 100,000 hours and provide greater foot-candle performance, helping increase light levels while further reducing energy use and maintenance burdens on the facility. With its new Albeo lighting ﬁxtures, the university expects to save an estimated 770,000 kilowatt-hours annually, which is a 40% reduction in the center’s overall energy use.

OPERATING IMPACT

• Signiﬁcant cost savings

• Reduced maintenance needs

• Controls provide dimming and

on/off timing capabilities

“ The beneﬁts extended beyond the energy efﬁciency of the ﬁxture—we

were also fans of the modern aesthetic and exceptional durability for the application.”

- Elijah Ercolino, Director of Building Automation Services, Boston University

The facility also enjoys an integrated, smart lighting system that incorporates wireless controls, creating an infinitely flexible lighting solution. On top of the energy savings, the Albeo lighting fixtures have eliminated the noise created by the previous metal halide fixtures.
