Aerospace Takes Flight with Smart Lighting
Onamac Industries previously relied on outdated 6-lamp fluorescent T8 highbay fixtures, which consumed excessive energy and required frequent maintenance. Recognizing the need for a more efficient and sustainable solution, Onamac partnered with West Ridge Energy to explore modern lighting options leveraging the incentives provided by Snohomish PUD.The Smart Solution: LLLC Highbay System & Snohomish PUD IncentivesWe recommended and implemented an LLLC highbay system, perfectly aligned with Snohomish PUD's energy efficiency programs. Here's how it all came together:
Snohomish PUD Rebate Program: Onamac took full advantage of the Snohomish PUD commercial lighting rebate program. This program offers substantial financial incentives for businesses that upgrade to energy-efficient lighting. By participating in the program, Onamac significantly reduced the initial cost of the project.
LLLC Bonus Incentive: Snohomish PUD provides a bonus incentive for LLLC systems, recognizing the superior energy savings and control these systems offer. This made the switch to LLLC even more financially attractive for Onamac. LLLCs and Networked controls receive incentives from Snohomish PUD based upon hours of operations up to $100 per fixture.
Significant Energy Savings: The LLLC system automatically adjusts light levels based on occupancy and available daylight, leading to substantial energy savings. Snohomish PUD's incentives further amplify these savings, making the upgrade a wise investment. saving over 174,000 kWh per year!
Enhanced Control and Customization: With LLLC, each fixture can be controlled individually. Occupancy sensors and daylight harvesting maximize efficiency, ensuring lights are only on when and where needed.
Improved Lighting Quality: The LLLC highbays provide superior illumination, enhancing visibility and safety in Onamac's facilities.
Reduced Maintenance: LED lighting's extended lifespan significantly reduces maintenance costs and disruptions.
Key Benefits of LLLC Systems:
Maximized Energy Efficiency: Automated controls reduce energy consumption and utility bills.
Operational Cost Reduction: Reduced maintenance and optimized energy usage contribute to long-term savings.
Enhanced Comfort and Productivity: Customizable lighting environments improve occupant comfort and productivity.
Outcome and Impact Thanks to the partnership with Snohomish PUD and the implementation of the LLLC highbay system, Onamac Industries is enjoying significant energy and cost savings. Their improved lighting environment boosts productivity and safety, while also contributing to a more sustainable operation.
