Brookshire Brothers, a grocery store chain based in Texas, is currently completing an energy efficient lighting retrofit in all
of their seventy two stores as reported by Environmental Leader.It is estimated that the lighting retrofit, when complete,
will save Brookshire Brothers $235,000 annually. They will save an average of
$3,200 per store by upgrading from 32 watt linear fluorescent lamps to more
energy efficient 28 watt T8 Tube lights.
"When we looked at options to
impact our total energy costs, we identified several areas at different stores
where new lighting, including LED fixtures, made a compelling case, both
indoors and out," said Eric Johnson, director of construction for
Brookshire Brothers. "The store directors have all been impressed,"
Johnson said. "The parking lots shine, the signage is crisper and the
colors of the products show much better. There have only been very positive
comments. I feel we've found our standard for lighting moving forward.
