It’s nice to see businesses getting recognition for doing significant alterations to their energy usage. In Fayetteville, TN, Fushi Copperweld Inc. did a retrofit from an HID (High Intensity Discharge) High Pressure Sodium fixture to a Fluorescent fixture.
In just one year, the facility will reduce its annual electricity usage for lighting by nearly 66%- 2.1 million kWh- a reduction which, combined with tax and maintenance savings, will yield a total savings of approximately $300,000. Fushi Copperweld projects the new lighting scheme will have paid for itself in just eleven months.
