GE Albeo high bay LED lighting at Weber State University

USA: Weber State University’s installation of GE’s Albeo LED High Bay lighting at the Dee Events Center has been met with resounding cheers for its lighting quality and energy savings.

By replacing high-intensity discharge (HID) lighting commonly found in sports arenas, the Albeo ABHX-Series uses 70 percent less energy and is expected to save the university nearly $40,000 each year.

When assessing a potential energy-saving project, the WSU Energy & Sustainability Office looks at other institutions’ solutions for ideas. But there were no examples to consider when an analysis of campus energy use revealed that HID lighting at the Dee Events Center was one of the single biggest power hogs.
