The Noble House’s Strata Council (Canada’s version of a home owners association) was tasked with replacing their legacy fluorescent lights with LED technology as there were concerns that the lack of sufficient lighting in many areas of the garage created a safety risk. The Strata Council was aware of the energy savings generated with the proposed LED upgrade as well the additional energy savings advantages that come along with adding lighting control functionality.

Their plan was to leverage these savings to balance out the increases in other proposed building upgrades and maintenance costs. Including occupancy-based lighting strategies in the garage and stairwell spaces was critical to securing the desired funding.

The installation of the Toggled iQ lighting control system enabled dimming and trim capabilities as well as occupancy/vacancy control which significantly increased the building’s energy efficiency and reduced its overall carbon footprint. The retrofit resulted in a total energy savings of 75% with only an 18-month payback period on the project. The new lighting system also included long-life LED products which provide over 50,000 hours of quality light and further reduces future maintenance costs and increases overall cost savings. Furthermore, the lighting and security measures installed in the garage significantly improved the customer experience by increasing security and keeping a minimum level of illumination in unoccupied areas. Overall, the project fulfilled the Noble House owners mandate of offering safe parking operation while significantly improving energy efficiency in the building to achieve the desired energy efficiency goals.
