While the project is slated to be complete this month, initial findings show a significant amount of savings for the operator and the City of Windsor. The overall number of fixtures has decreased from 570 to just 480, wattage use per hour has dropped a dramatic 135,810 watts/hour from 185,250 to 49,440, and the cost per year has plummeted about 72 percent from more than $160,000 to just under $45,000. When evaluating the project over a timeframe of 10 years, the Detroit Windsor Tunnel will have saved more than $1.18 million dollar on energy costs.

Lumenpulse Inc., a leading innovator and manufacturer of high performance, architectural LED-based lighting solutions for commercial, institutional, and urban environments, released a customer case study focused on a project for the iconic 1950’s Cermak Shopping Plaza outside of Chicago, IL.  Already a clean-tech energy saver, the Lumenpulse LED fixtures are going further green with the building owner choosing to power them with wind turbines.

Built in 1956, the plaza has a rich history including cameo appearances in Hollywood movies (1992’s Wayne’s World, and 2008’s Wanted) and visionary displays of contemporary art sculptures introduced by Cermak founder and passionate art patron David Bermant.
