Project Overview
An LED lighting retrofit at a K-12 school in Wallington, NJ cut lighting energy use by 45% and saves about $22,700 a year, with PSE&G rebates covering 99% of the project.
Classrooms, hallways and gyms were lit with older fluorescent fixtures. Albright scheduled the work around the school calendar, upgraded the lighting building-wide and managed the utility incentive so the district paid very little.
