CVAW demonstrated the value proposition of the Independence LED tube lights to the Veterans Administration (VA) Hospital in Durham, NC, and that facility now stands as one of the benchmarks in the ongoing efforts to reduce the cost of healthcare in America. The combination of Renewable Energy “Production” has a natural counterpoint with Energy “Reduction”. CVAWE believes in solving the reduction root of the problem first, before jumping into a renewable energy project. Most consumers are burning more fossil fuels then needed. President Dan Boyle says, “Don’t put the cart before the horse. You will save more money in the long term if you reduce your demand first. By reducing your demand, you also reduce the necessary size of a renewable energy system.” CVAWE offers a variety of LED replacement bulbs for commercial and residential buildings. Due to the higher costs of LED lights, it is wise to replace higher wattage bulbs first that run the longest. Commercial buildings are best to start with emergency stairwell lighting, garage lighting and hallway lighting. Without any rebates or incentives, these lighting retrofits will have a return on investment in the vicinity of 2 years. CVAWE has worked hard to find the best LED retrofit lights on the Market. There is a wide variety of costs and quality associated with LED lighting and we have the answer to your questions. President Boyle, goes on to say, “We strive to supply our customers with the right light at the right price. We will also help with rebates and incentives.” Sample News Article

The new lighting, energy-efficient linear LEDs, will cut down on the facility’s overhead expenses. The facility has 334 units and offers 24-hour, seven-day-a-week access. Green Garage Lighting of Hartford, Conn., installed the fixtures. The company recommended the 15-watt linear Eagle tube as a replacement, which use only 15 watts of energy and will last up to 80,000 hours in this type of facility. It equates to more than nine years of usage.
A professional survey was conducted to measure Stafford Storage’s energy consumption and determine how much it could be improved. The facility’s owners wanted to make sure there was a reasonable business case for the upgrades before purchasing. It was estimated the facility consumed 51,942 kilowatts per year. At a rate of 10 cents per kilowatt hour, the annual electric bill was $5,194. By upgrading to LEDs, Stafford Storage could reduce its energy consumption to approximately 26,411 kilowatt hours, resulting in 49 percent lower energy costs...On a month-to-month comparison of energy bills from 2010 to 2011, Stafford Storage realized a 35 percent savings. Presented with nine financing options by its service provider, Green Garage Lighting, Stafford Storage had ample choices to end up cash-flow positive on a monthly basis.

The LED Distribution ‘Hot Spots’. The Northeast Corridor between Washington, DC and Boston, MA has the combination of high population density and high kWh cost. These two key factors make the Northeast ideal for LED retrofits and new construction installations. California, Alaska, Hawaii, and the Caribbean are also tremendous hot spots given their above average kWh costs.
