energy savings from the top down
GE’s oces at 500 West Monroe in Chicago’s West Loop commit to GE’s LED lighting upgrades
GE’s LED lighting provides $55,000 in annual cost savings
THE SITUATION
Headquartered at 500 West Monroe in Chicago’s West Loop, GE Transportation
and GE Antares Capital, a unit of GE Capital, committed to major renovations
spanning more than 400,000 square feet among a dozen oors. Original
construction plans called for traditional LFL lighting with controls, but GE
was looking for lighting solutions that provided a longer life expectancy
and reduced energy costs.
THE SOLUTION
GE Lighting identied an LED-based oce lighting solution at the same
budget, providing a better return on investment over the life of the product.
LED lighting xtures have a signicantly longer life than uorescent products
and traditional incandescent lighting. Among the LED lighting xtures installed
were the Lumination™ LED Suspended Luminaires, Lumination LED Recessed
Troer Luminaires and downlights with Infusion™ LED Modules. Additionally,
GE’s Lumination BL Series LED Luminaires, combined with USG’s Logix
Integrated Ceiling System with Halcyon™ ClimatePlus™ Acoustical Ceiling
Panel and DONN® Fineline® ⅛ DXFF Acoustical Suspension System,
provide long, narrow bands of light for a uniform and contemporary
look at 500 West Monroe.
“We wanted a low-maintenance option that would help us keep costs
down. GE Lighting presented an LED solution with Lutron lighting controls
that also gave us the best look. The ceiling is neat, clean and uniform
throughout the entire area.”
- John Craynon, Global Site Optimization Manager for GE Transportation
