ODESSA, FLA.—Hasek Communications, the Odessa, Fla.-based publisher of Green Lodging News, has added an OSRAM SYLVANIA case study to its website. The case study details a lighting installation at the Hôtel Le Crystal in Montreal. The goal of the installation was to provide better illumination in parking areas, hotel and conference rooms, and office areas, while saving energy.
The 4100K fluorescent lamps in the parking garage were replaced with SYLVANIA SubstiTUBE IPS T8 LED 5000K lamps which provide a brighter, whiter light that can help facilitate quick vehicle identification and increase pedestrian visibility, enhancing safety and feelings of comfort in the garage. SubstiTUBE IPS T8 LED lamps with a 3000K color temperature were installed in hotel and conference rooms, in addition to the office areas, saving energy while maintaining the warm daylight color of the lighting and giving occupants the option to dim the light as needed. Six watt SYLVANIA ORIOS™ MR16 LED Lamps replaced the 35 watt halogen MR16 lamps, resulting in additional energy savings without changing the lighting aesthetics of the hotel.
As a result of the Hôtel Le Crystal upgrading its lighting, the destination projects an annual savings of 365,158 kWh, translating into $24,985 in energy savings and avoidance of 265,013 kilograms of CO2 emissions from electricity plants. In addition, because of the long life of the lighting systems, the hotel also expects to save approximately $27,159 in maintenance costs per year.
