A great story out of
New Jersey as Vanguard Energy Services NJ and our friends at Independence LED Lighting recently worked
with Domino's Pizza to complete the most energy efficient restaurant lighting
retrofit in the world.
"We have many
'firsts' across the public and private sectors, but Domino's hits a special
chord," said Charlie Szoradi, CEO of Independence LED. "Back in the
'80s, I delivered Domino's pizza to help pay for my University of Virginia
undergraduate architecture degree. Decades later, the massive potential quarter
billion dollars in cost savings across Domino's worldwide footprint is part of
in a global energy tipping point."
The location in Dover, New Jersey has secured a place in
energy history. Vanguard is one of the
Authorized Resellers for the US made Independence LED tubes and fixtures, which
previously set the restaurant record in 2010 for the Applebee's in Newtown, PA.
Typical 2' x 4'
fluorescent troffer fixtures include four 32 watt tubes, but the 15 watt
Independence LED tubes were able to go from 128 to 60 watts for the 2010
Applebee's record. For Domino's, Vanguard recommended using the updated,
Independence LEDs at only 50 watts per fixture. For roll-out to Domino's and
other accounts, Independence LED can now go down further to 44 watts per
fixture.
Business owners can
save over 65% with a Return on Investment (ROI) over 40%, and have reliable US
made products with the strongest 10 year warranty in class.
What will Domino's
Pizza save?
The numbers don't
lie: Pilot Location: $2,400 per year and $25,000 over LED life. Plus 325,000
lbs of CO2 saved. (1.35 lbs per kWh or 13 lbs per dollar saved).
