In the Housing Lighting Retrofit a total of 5,515 T-12 fixtures were replaced with thinner, more energy effiecient T-8 fixtures in housing buildings around the University of Illinois' campus. This will incur a total Annual KWh Savings of 791,331 hours. The total Simple Payback is estimated to be 2.81 years. |
