Yeager Health Complex Energy Efficiency Lighting Upgrade
Rockland County is planning to commission a comprehensive energy efficiency project to replace interior lights and install occupancy sensors at five (5) buildings
of the Yeager Health Complex. The five affected buildings are:
The existing lights in the 5 buildings are T12 fluorescent and some incandescent fixtures. The existing fluorescent fixtures include 2x4 linear troffers, 2x2 U-lamp troffers, 1x4 linear troffers, 1x4 wrapped, 4-foot and 8-foot cove fixtures. The existing fixtures contain a mixture of F34T12 and F40T12 lamps powered by magnetic ballasts.
The project measures include high efficiency T8 lamps and ballasts will replace T12 lamps and magnetic ballasts. Compact Fluorescent fixtures will replace existing incandescent fixtures. LED exit signs will replace incandescent EXIT signs.
In addition, passive infrared and ultrasonic sensors will be incorporated in the high-occupancy spaces to control the space's lighting systems. The sensor will automatically turn lights ON as required by periods of occupancy and OFF when no lighting is needed.
The County was successful in securing Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) funds allocated by the 2009 The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). A portion of the ARRA funds will be used to support the lighting upgrade in 2010.
Estimated annual energy savings for this project is 174,375 kWh. Each year the project will eliminate 234 tons of CO2 equivalent emission.
