Case Study: Encore Metals and Efficiency Manitoba

Objectives

Upgrade existing HID fixtures to high efficiency (LED) models; decrease energy consumption and HID fixture replacement costs. Increase illumination; enhancing workplace safety and productivity. Facilitate incentives through Efficiency Manitoba.

Solution

The facility was outfitted with 400 watt metal halide that used 455 watts with a hood. We installed 300 watt LED Monopoint High Bays. We utilized existing fixture locations during this retrofit, saving time and money. The newly installed LED lighting boasts a consistent 5000k colour.

Key Benefits

- Encore Metals has received over $14,000 from Efficiency Manitoba in incentives.

- Decreased energy consumption by replacing existing 400 watt fixtures to 300 watt fixtures.

- The energy efficient fixtures we utilized drastically cut carbon emissions.

- Increased Illumination. When we started the lighting level averaged at 25 fc (Foot Candle) and upon completion it averaged at 110 fc.
