Orange County Convention Center’s Green Initiatives Include Albeo LED Lighting

Author: SSLighting Design News Staff

February 4, 2010... As part of the Orange County Convention Center's range of green initiatives, Albeo Technologies Inc. is supplying its C-Series low bay LED lights to the convention center for a number of retrofit projects. The Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) offers a seven-million-square-foot facility, with 2.1 million square feet of exhibition space, making it the second largest convention center in the U.S. Each year, the OCCC brings more than 250 events to the Central Florida area. As a result, roughly 1.4 million attendees contribute approximately $1.9 billion to the area’s economic impact annually.

The first project utilized Albeo’s 75W C-Series Low Bay to replace aging 400W Metal Halide fixtures. They provide a savings of 325 Watts per fixture. Albeo says that the combined energy and maintenance savings achieved with its solution resulted in a payback of less than one year. The installation is estimated to eliminate over 1,400,000 lbs of carbon over its lifetime. “Albeo is proud to be part of Orange County Convention Center’s Green initiatives and sustainability projects. In commercial spaces like OCCC lighting is often one of the major electrical loads and with paybacks of less than one year, why install anything other than LED lighting?” said Paul Winker, Director of Business Development at Albeo. “Orange County’s commitment to deploy green technologies and educate the public through its Climate-Change Education Center is exemplary.” Albeo Technologies News Release
