Energy Efficiency Lighting Retrofit at Seven City Buildings
City of Tonawanda has secured funding to retrofit 348 lighting fixtures in seven city facilities, replacing the existing incandescent, T12
fluorescent and metal
halide technologies with compact fluorescent lamps, T8 fluorescent lamps with electronic ballasts, and LED replacements.
The seven city facilities identified for the retrofit project are:
• Fire Department Headquarters – a 15,620 SF building located at 44 William Street
• Fire Department Engine 3 building – a 4,685 SF building located at 74 Wheeler Street
• City Hall – a 27,261 SF building located at 200 Niagara Street
• DPW Salt Bin - a 7,500 SF structure located at 200 Niagara Street
• DPW building – a 62,360 SF structure located at 200 Niagara Street
• Kohler building – a 3,802 building located at 299 Decatur Road
• Recreation Department building - located at 299 Decatur Road
Altogether, 348 existing lighting fixtures will be replaced or retrofitted by 340 new fixtures.
The city is expecting to lower annual electricity usage by over 99,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) and save over $10,000 a year in electricity cost.
The annual energy saving will also eliminate over 82,000 pounds of carbon-dioxide equivalent from being emitted into the environment.
New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) will provide 90% of the project funding from the State Energy Program Funds setup under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
