Boston University

One Silber Way
​
Boston, MA 02215



​With over 1,500 2-lamp surface lens wrap style fixtures end to end, inconsistent light levels provided unflattering light throughout the space. Uncomfortable, dingy, yellow in color, the aging fixtures were beyond their useful life. Extremely high maintenance and energy cost, and ongoing problems throughout the space needed to be addressed. Energy Conservation (ECI) redesigned the space using Lightolier's 2x2 HP90 recessed fixture and greatly improved the quality of light levels and color of lighting within the space. By recessing the HP90 style fixture, ECI was able to improve the areas. The benefits to the Boston University Library include a significant reduction in energy consumption, reduced maintenance costs, improved visual quality of light, and increased incentive from the local utility company.

Whitman-Hanson Regional High School

600 Franklin Street

Hanson, MA 02382


​The Whitman-Hanson Regional High School, built in 2006, is one of the most technologically advanced schools in Massachusetts. The lighting systems installed when the school was built featured popular lighting systems that are still to this day specified in newly constructed schools and offices. Energy Conservation audited the building and found lighting solutions to save energy and even further improve the already beautiful aesthetics of the building. The existing lighting was replaced in a large portion of the building with new volumetric lighting systems. The inefficient metal halide gymnasium and cafeteria lighting was replaced with fluorescent systems featuring integrated infrared occupancy sensors. Ballasts and lamps were replaced in classrooms with more efficient systems. The benefits to the High School include a significant reduction in energy consumption, improved aesthetics and quality of light, and a large incentive from the local utility company.

Albert Basse Associates

175 Campanelli Parkway

​Stoughton, MA 02072



​Albert Basse Associates is one of the longest continually operating, family-owned, large format digital and screen print manufacturers in the nation. With over 90 years behind them, ABA has been the go-to graphics provider for the beverage industry and recently awarded the Golden Image Award from the Special Graphic Image Association. ABA is a “customer first” organization that relies on the distribution of high-quality POS, sign, and graphic display solutions. ABA had inefficient 8-foot flourescent tubes that plauged the production area and created hassle for maintenance and produced poor light levels. Energy Conservation was able to provide a retrofit solution that not only increased light levels, but also achieve great electrical savings.
