Project Summary

Located in Kendall of Miami-Dade County, The Palms at Town & Country is a vast shopping center spread across 80 acres. The management of the shopping center made a significant move to reduce their energy consumption by switching to LED lighting technology. This transition proved to be highly beneficial, as the shopping center was able to save up to 75% on their energy costs.

The shift to LED technology was made possible by the efforts of a team of highly skilled engineers. The engineers were able to design and install LED lighting fixtures that not only met but exceeded the energy efficiency requirements set forth by the county. Specifically, they were able to achieve a 12:1 maximum-to-minimum ratio and a minimum of 1fc of lighting.

The success of this project serves as a testament to the effectiveness of LED lighting technology in reducing energy consumption and lowering costs. The Palms at Town & Country serves as an excellent example for other shopping centers and commercial buildings looking to become more environmentally conscious and reduce their energy costs.

Not only does the use of LED lighting technology help businesses reduce their energy bills, but it also has a positive impact on the environment. LED lights have a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to traditional lighting sources, making them a greener and more sustainable option.

Overall, The Palms at Town & Country's successful implementation of LED lighting technology demonstrates the potential benefits of switching to more energy-efficient lighting solutions. By reducing energy consumption and lowering costs, businesses can not only improve their bottom line but also contribute to a more sustainable future.
