Atlanta, GA -- (SBWire) -- 11/24/2010 -- Value Energy Solutions, one of the largest lighting installation and lighting retrofit companies in the nation, recently completed a large lighting retrofit project for AT &T at in the Lindbergh Center located in the prestigious Buckhead Office market. Lindbergh Center, the first transit-oriented mixed use development in Atlanta, features two fourteen story office towers that are adjacent to the Lindbergh MARTA Station. The Lindbergh Center parking decks are managed by Atlanta based, Lanier Parking Solutions, the largest parking management company in the Southeast.
Lanier Parking contacted Value Energy Solutions to determine what energy savings they could achieve by replacing and updating the lighting in their two enclosed parking decks. Value Energy Solutions completed a thorough analysis of the existing parking deck lighting and AT&T’s energy saving goals Value Energy Solutions recommended retrofitting the parking decks with over one eleven hundred 2-Lamp T-5 54wHO (high output) Vapor Tight Fluorescent lights. Lanier Parking selected a 40,000 hour (extended life) rated lamp to maximize their energy savings and reduce lighting maintenance costs.
AT&T has made energy savings and sustainability a significant corporate priority. They have established an Energy Scorecard to benchmark energy savings at all of their major facilities. A major focus of these facility improvements has been upgrading lighting and HVAC systems. The estimated energy savings from the Lindbergh Center lighting retrofit is an impressive 43% and the cost of the lighting upgrade will pay for itself in less than three years with an ROI of 34%.
Value Energy Solutions and Lanier Parking considered numerous relighting options and discovered the best lighting retrofit solution was using new fluorescent lighting technology. The Vapor Tite Reflector Series Linear Fluorescent fixtures used in the Lindbergh Center retrofit is the pinnacle of Vapor Tight Luminaries. They utilize T-5 lamping which provides better energy efficiency and equal or superior lumen output. Other Vapor Tight features include:
• Proven technology, refined to be more efficient than fluorescents of the past

• Surface mounted or may be suspended from ceiling
• Three piece design snaps together without any tools
