THE PROBLEM
Air Canada's operations facilities at YVR Airport in Richmond, BC were experiencing high flicker rates, unevenly distributed lighting, and ongoing high energy costs. Additionally, the Air Canada runway had identified issues with glare affecting the pilots in nighttime conditions. Training facilities such as flight simulation rooms and flight attendant study areas were dimly lit with uneven lighting, as was the retail boutique for Air Canada branded apparel.
"Our new lights are great - clear and bright! But like any business it is often the people who make the difference. I want to commend the installers who efficiently changed the lights in our office area. They were friendly, professional, respectful, and easy to speak with. They were respectful of my work area and made sure that I was always informed of their work schedule - always checking with me first before starting to work. Before they left, they cleaned the office better than how they found it! Kudos to the Radiance Energy Team!"
THE SOLUTION
Air Canada selected Radiance Energy for their LED upgrade which was an investment of $1.4 million. Air Canada chose to finance the project over a period of 36 months which resulted in an average monthly savings of $30,000/month. Radiance Energy installed an LED lighting solution that not only drastically improved lighting conditions for employees but also provided ongoing savings for their energy and maintenance costs. The Air Canada runway was installed with a night vision and anti-glare light solution, as to not affect pilots when descending in the dark. Indoor facilities such as training rooms and retail areas have an LED solution with low flicker rates and evenly distributed lighting, enabling employees to study and train efficiently below
PROJECT SUMMARY
✓ Saved 74% in energy costs
