New York City is replacing all of its street lights, about 300,000 bulbs, with LEDs and expects to complete the project by 2019, reducing street light energy consumption by 35 percent.
Margaret Newman, chief of staff for the New York City Department of Transportation, told GreenBiz that the Central Park installation is complete, about 1,500 lights have been converted to LEDs, and the city expects to see savings of about $250,000 per year and about 700,000 kW per year. .
Since the city began its LED street lighting project in 2009, the cost of LEDs has dropped significantly so that they are almost equal to the cost of replacing some fixtures, GreenBiz reports.
With lower costs and energy savings, the city expects a Canada Mobile Database payback period of five to seven years. If LEDs reduce energy consumption by 30 to 50 percent as predicted, the city would save about $15 million a year. By the end of 2014, New York City will spend $11 million to install about 34,000 LED street lights. By 2017, another 200,000 HPS fixtures will be equipped with LEDs, at an additional cost of $80 million.
Other cities that have either switched to LED street lights or are moving in this direction include San Francisco, San Antonio, Texas, Austin, Texas, and Montreal, Canada.
The FedExField project includes electric vehicle charging stations, thousands of solar panels and a solar sculpture. At Patriot Place, NRG installed 3,000 standard translucent solar panels that produce about 60 percent of the market's electricity.
Once completed, Santa Clara Stadium will be California's first zero-emission sports venue, according to NRG. The new home of the San Francisco 49ers is being built from approximately 80,000 cubic yards of low-CO2 concrete.
The last Super Bowl host committee donated carbon credits to offset approximately 3.8 million pounds of CO2 emissions. In addition to offsetting the Super Bowl's energy impact, all major sites offered recycling, and the host committee teamed up with the Green Project and Repurcing NOLA to return Super Bowl banners, displays, signs and other promotional materials to be recycled into tote bags. , wallets, shower curtains and other souvenirs.
Connecticut, Vermont, Oregon, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, as well as the cities of New York and the District of Columbia have sent the EPA formal notice of intent to sue over the agency's failure to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from power plants, The Hill reports. . This month, the Environmental Protection Agency missed a deadline to finalize standards for new facilities.
