JEC Energy Savings, located in Richardson, Texas is an innovative lighting design company. The company’s vibrant induction lighting was installed at the Children’s Medical Center of Dallas, which led to dramatic energy-efficiency in the hospital facility. In addition, it delivered maximum lighting quality and performance in the facility’s parking garages.
The hospital’s parking garages were recently installed with JEC induction lighting. Improved 100,000-hour JEC induction fluorescent bulbs replaced over 2,000 garage fixtures equipped with 10,000 hour metal halide bulbs, thus ensuring up to 11 years of maintenance free operation.
JEC Energy Savings’ VP of Sales and Marketing, Mark Welker stated that Children’s Medical Center preferred induction lighting over LED lighting due to its efficiency in both cost and performance. Its excellent light quality and reduced glare were preferred even by the courtesy patrol.
Induction lighting technology is well-recognized and well-accepted due to its eco-friendly features such as less energy usage and less mercury usage per hour of operation, besides its extended life span.
According to the President of JEC Energy Savings, Carlos Ochoa, the multi-featured induction lighting attracts building owners. It is durable and suitable for exterior lighting applications and garage decks that are prone to frequent vibration. Furthermore, this white lighting is not accompanied by any buzzing sound that is common among traditional High Intensity Discharge lighting systems.
Over 50% energy-conservation will be observed in the parking garages of Children’s Medical Center upon installation, in addition to annual cost-savings up to $300,000 per year.
