SERVICE DEPARTMENT LIGHTING THAT INCREASES PRODUCTIVITY.

ENERGY SAVINGS

Service department lighting offers a great opportunity to increase energy savings and improve overall profitability. Energy efficient building design practices outlined in the ASHRAE 90.1-2004 standard recommend a maximum power density of 0.7 W/ft2 for automotive service department lighting designs. By selecting high performance lighting equipment and incorporating energy efficient light sources, this recommendation is easily achieved. Cooper Lighting offers a variety of lighting products driven by efficient lamp sources to achieve improved light levels and increased productivity in the service area while creating energy savings opportunities.

The Metalux F-Bay family of fluorescent high-bays offer dramatic energy savings opportunities over traditional high intensity discharge systems to provide a quick return on investment.

NOTES: 1 Total annual cost is the cost of operating 4 fixtures 12 hours per day with a national average energy cost of $0.10 per KWH. Annual Cost = (Input watts)*(# of fixtures)*(operating hours)*(days/year)*(KWH/1000). 2 Annual Savings is the money saved by operating 4 fixtures for 12 hours per day with the listed source over the standard 400W probe start lamp.
