ECS is committed to helping the government implement real energy conservation solutions and reduce costs through innovative technologies like HydroPlex.
Featured Project – Lighting Upgrade at Naturipe Property Reduces Lighting Sys...IoEnergy, Inc.
The Naturipe Berry Growers’ facility houses Naturipe’s Watsonville operations, as well as sublet space for Blue Ribbon Frozen Foods, Dobler & Sons, and West Lake Produce. The entire facility needed LED luminary upgrades, but each space had unique lighting needs. IoEnergy provided customized retrofit solutions for Natureripe and its tenants to improve efficiency and safety at each location. The result was $37,894 in annual cost savings, which allowed Naturipe to negotiate more favorable lease renewals with its tenants.
The Blue Ribbon space had the most significant updates including a redesigned lighting layout for their warehouse and new FSC fixtures with motion controls throughout the warehouse and spinach processing plant. Naturipe's upgrades included retrofitting their existing fixture chassis with brighter, more efficient vapor tight high-bay LED fixtures. In total, 288 LED fixtures were installed, bringing the whole lighting system energy consumption down to 17.854 kW from 37.382 kW.
Energy Efficient Lighting Systems ppt.pptChaudharyJi6
The document discusses India's need for energy efficient lighting to meet growing electricity demand and reduce peak loads by 17-18%. It describes the Bachat Lamp Yojana program which replaces incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) through public-private partnerships. Best practices for lighting systems include using T5 fluorescent lamps and LEDs instead of incandescent bulbs, and using electronic ballasts instead of magnetic ballasts. Solar lighting systems provide an environmentally sustainable option for rural areas with no grid access.
The Lighting industry has been through a revolution in the last few years with LED technology taking over from HID lamp sources and although better understood now than they were five years ago, we have seen a general uncertainty arise around a number of topics. In a reaction to this lack of understanding we now witness, as a suggested part of tender submissions, questions being asked that were never asked of HID solutions, these were posed when LED street lighting technology was developing. For example, whether the colour shift was 3, 4 or 5 macadam ellipses was perhaps pertinent a few years ago in relation to how the LEDs would perform, yet the industry was never to bothered when Son lamps changed their colour appearance and colour rendering properties within their relatively short life. With the maturing LED technology are they really still appropriate to be asked and what should the buyer really be asking instead?
This talk will look to explore these areas and clarify in simple terms the reality. Topics covered will include maintenance factors, the use of constant light output, control of glare and explore the use of drivers in the lanterns – basically the weakest link.
It will finally look at areas of research required to further our confidence in using the new technology and the wider lighting research being carried out by the CIE.

This document discusses LED lighting technology for petrochemical industries. It begins with an abstract that outlines the historical use of high-intensity discharge lights in industrial facilities and introduces LED lighting as a newer technology with potential advantages. The body of the document then examines LED lighting standards, products, design considerations, and case studies evaluating LED retrofits in existing petrochemical facilities. It finds benefits of LEDs include reduced energy consumption and costs, lower maintenance needs, and decreased environmental impacts, though cautions that the industrial LED market remains immature.
Office buildings account for over 30% of total commercial building energy use. Schneider Electric delivers energy management expertise to help optimize energy consumption in office buildings. Their solutions can improve building operation and cut energy use by up to 50 kWh/m2 per year, enabling some buildings to achieve zero energy consumption. Tracking and analyzing energy use data is key to identifying savings opportunities and optimizing building energy efficiency over time.
