Sentinel Installs New Energy Efficient Lighting

HEMPSTEAD, NEW YORK, February 1, 2011 -- Each year Sentinel is determined to examine our facility and identify areas of inefficiency that can be improved or updated. This February, we installed energy efficient lighting throughout the facility. More than 100 fluorescent lamps were reconfigured allowing us to move away from energy inefficient ballasts and traditional bulbs containing mercury. The installer, Efficient Lighting Consultants, managed the disposal of the ballasts and old bulbs. 

Because of our lighting renovation, we will save approximately 27,344 KWH per year, which equates to 1,807 gallons of oil not burned, or 14,051 pounds of coal not burned.

The environmental benefits from the project are:

* 56 pounds of Sulfur Oxides (Sox) emissions avoided
* 15 pounds of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) emissions avoided
* 30,051 pounds of Carbon Dioxide (Cox) emissions avoided

It’s a brighter world at Sentinel, and Sentinel is continuing on our way to making a better environment.
