Barbagallo’s Express Mart, a convenience store and gas station in East Syracuse, NY, is saving more than $2,000 per year after a LED gas station canopy lighting retrofit installed by SmartWatt Energy through the National Grid Small Business Program. Barbagallo’s also received a $4,854 rebate and interest-free financing for two years from National Grid through the program.
Syracuse, NY (PRWEB) February 14, 2012
SmartWatt Energy conducted a complimentary energy analysis of all outdoor lighting, then proposed a plan to replace Barbagallo’s existing exterior gas station canopy lighting with more energy-efficient LED lighting. According to National Grid, the LED lighting retrofit will pay for itself in about 33 months. This energy savings project has removed pollutants from the air and is estimated to have the same effect on the environment as removing 20,537 pounds of greenhouse gases or planting 330 trees according to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency calculations.
