SOLSTICE HOA: LED LIGHTING AUDIT & RETROFIT
Green Econome performed an energy audit and benchmarking report for the Solstice Homeowner’s Association. The audit revealed that the lighting in the underground parking garage was insufficient and near end of life. In addition, the aging lamps were different colors, detracting from the quality of this prominent resort property in Mammoth, CA.
The existing fluorescent and incandescent bulbs were replaced with LED lamps, which were consistent in color temperature and significantly brighter than before, eliminating any safety and aesthetic concerns. The retrofit saved the HOA approximately $2,900 per year, resulting in a 15-month payback.

Since the installation, the property manager mentioned how shocked he was by how there was NO maintenance being required in this parking garage compared to similar ones in Mammoth still not retrofitted. This is just one example of the additional benefits of energy efficiency upgrades.
