5-year maintenance savings:$22,000

SOLUTION
The property manager wanted Aetna Corp. to identify energy savings opportunities at their site. Aetna Corp. created a customized LED upgrade proposal, which included all parking lot lighting (decorative acorns, pole lighting and bollards), signage, in-ground lighting and canopy lighting. While onsite for an initial inspection, the lead electrician noticed several decorative fixtures swaying due to the high winds near the water. Aetna Corp.’s team was able to provide preventative maintenance services and recommendations to prevent future fixtures from falling, eliminating potential liability issues.
RESULTS
Over the course of one year, several nor’easters, caused damage to this property lighting. Aetna Corp.’s crew removed ninety-three 295 Watts metal halide shoebox fixtures and replaced them with ninety-three 71 Watts LED Fixtures, which resulted in a return on investment in just three and a half years.
