Premier Lighting Case Study: Office Building LED Retrofit


Customer Profile: 

Smiths Medical is a leading global manufacturer of specialty medical devices, and has been in business for over 65 years, operating in 30 countries with sales to 120 countries. They employ nearly 8,000 people in six continents. 

Goal: 

Smiths Medical's growth led the company to seek larger space for their Minnesota-based world head-quarters. A key component to a new location was energy efficiency, so the company engaged the consulting firm of Burns and Miley to assist them with options and recommendations. 

Solution: 

Burns and Miley sought the assistance of Premier Lighting for a ballast-compatible LED T8 lamp to replace the existing 32 watt fluorescent 3000K T8 lamps. After careful analysis, the recommended LED T8 for this application was 17 watts and 5000K.

Saving energy and money for what matters most, thanks to Minnesota's Conservation Improvement Program

Recently we sat down at The Edge Christian Worship Center in Brooklyn Park with Minnesota State Senator John Hoffman and Representative Melissa Hortman to share our story about the positive economic impact of energy conservation in our organizations. 

In 2007, Minnesota's Next Generation Energy Act established energy-saving goals through the Conservation Improvement Program (CIP) for electric and gas utilities, overseen by the Department of Commerce. Driven by utility company rebates and incentives that pay for themselves, CIP encourages utilities to promote energy efficiency technologies, help homes and businesses cut energy costs, and reduce harmful emissions while conserving resources. 

Almost 10 years later, we're spreading the word about CIP because we've seen it's value firsthand, through the One-Stop Efficiency Shop - one of Minnesota's many CIP-related programs. "One-Stop" is a full-service lighting program that partners with energy contractors like Premier Lighting, a local lighting contractor, to help small businesses throughout Xcel Energy's Minnesota service territory with lighting needs assessments, efficiency recommendations, low-interest financing, and guidance toward making improvements.
