T5 Lighting Retrofit at High School Campus Gyms
|
Project Summary
- Budget: $903,000
- Contractor: Basic IDIQ (Purchasing Cooperative)
- Project Completion: December 2011
Description:
Provide for change out of existing metal halide lighting to T5 lighting at six (6) campus gymnasiums:
THS* (3) Gyms
MCHS (4) Gyms
KHS* (2) Gyms
CRHS (3) Gyms
SLHS (4) Gyms
MRHS (4) Gyms
*Pending on acceptance of total renovation.
Background/Justification:
The district currently has retrofitted four gyms to the T-5 HO with great success. Gyms retrofitted include CRHS competition, KHS Gym 1, 2, 3 and THS gym 1. The District has also made the T-5 the new lighting standard for all gymnasiums in new facilities. The T-5 fixtures increase the lighting level to meet U.I.L. Guidelines and provide a quality environment as well as energy savings. 400 watt metal halide light fixtures typically are turned on in the early morning and not shut off until the day is over, due to the re-strike time of approximately 15-20 minutes. T-5 lights do not have the re-strike time disadvantage and are occupancy sensor friendly.
We are currently using the following method controlling the T-5 fixtures in the gymnasiums retrofitted with (6) lamp fixtures.
1. Occupancy sensors operate the light only when occupied.
2. During practice the fixture can operate at 33% of capacity.
3. During game conditions the fixture is switched to 100% capacity.
Note: Each step reduces energy consumption.
