University of Alaska at Anchorage (UAA) began converting lighting applications to LED technology five years ago, starting with signage, specialty lighting, aisle lighting in lecture halls and theater stairway lighting. The university recently completed a parking lot pilot with seven fixtures from BetaLED™, and is evaluating 14 BetaLED fixtures for parking garages and covered walkways.
UAA is reducing its energy consumption for the parking lot and garage by approximately 60 percent, as compared with the high-intensity discharge (HID) lights that were replaced. The university is also evaluating LED lighting for recessed lighting in stairwells and mechanical rooms, walkway bollards and parking lot lights for the new Health Science Building.
