Santa Monica-Malibu School District Energy Saving Plan
According to the Santa Monica Press, as s part of its efficiency and sustainability goals, the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District is replacing all interior and exterior lights with energy-saving LED lighting and new fixtures. The project is made possible by Proposition 39, the California program approved in 2012 that funds educational agencies’ clean energy and energy use reduction efforts. It is projected that the new lighting will save nearly $1.3 million kilowatt hours (kWh) per year. That means the project will pay for itself in about 12.5 years. The installation will begin in October and is scheduled to be completed in 2019.
All incandescent and compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs and old lighting fixtures will be replaced with modern, attractive LED (light-emitting diode) fixtures and bulbs which are 90 percent more energy efficient. LEDs have a longer life and emit light in a specific direction, which reduces the amount of lighting needed in a given space.
