Funded by the City of Atlanta Green Loan Fund, the upgrade project includes replacement of each of the 4,342 210W metal-halide fixtures with Cooper Lighting’s 80W McGraw-Edison Valet LED fixtures in its north and south parking decks.
Cooper Lighting president Mark Eubanks said replacing parking garage lighting with more energy-efficient options is one of the most practical upgrades a city can make to save energy, reduce costs and lower CO2 emissions.
"This project has been a great opportunity to showcase how Cooper’s innovative LED products can increase overall efficiencies and performance to provide a safe and well-lit environment, all while helping the City of Atlanta save almost $500,000 each year in energy costs," Eubanks said.
According to the City of Atlanta’s Office of Sustainability, the Airport’s financial and environmental partner, the carbon reduction associated with the project is equivalent to taking 500 cars off of the road.
The company’s modular LightBAR technology, featuring patented AccuLED Optics system, delivers uniform and energy conscious illumination.
