Energy-Efficient Lighting on U.S. Army Installations. Lighting Retrofit Survey

Abstract

Electrical lighting is a major consumer of energy in Army facilities. Lighting retrofits are often the first energy projects to be completed on Army installations because they require a relatively low investment and yield a quick simple payback. Many energy-efficient, low-cost, commercial off-the-shelf lighting technologies are available. Despite the availability of advanced lighting technologies, successful implementation of lighting retrofits at Army installations is not always realized. This study administered a written survey to Army installation energy managers regarding new lighting technologies and experience with lighting retrofit projects. Analysis of the survey results revealed common problems with lighting retrofits on Army installations. The study also reviewed and presented the types of products, tools, technical support, and processes available to installation staff involved in the lighting retrofit process.
