Town of Henrietta is upgrading the lighting equipment at the Department of Public Works (DPW) building. The retrofit will replace one 400 Watts HID (High Intensity Discharge) lighting fixture with a 6-lamp, Highbay fluorescent T8 fixture. Also eight 2-lamps 8-foot T12 strip fixtures will be replaced by eight 8-foot T8 strip fixtures with reflectors, and eight 2-lamps 8-foot T12 strip fixtures will be replaced with eight 8-foot T8 strip fixtures with reflectors. The lighting upgrade is expected to reduce electricity consumption by almost 37,000 kWh per year.

The town will use Federal Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) funds to help pay for the cost of upgrading the lighting equipment. Additionally, the new lighting equipment will qualify the town for another $5,700 of rebates from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA).
