SANTA ANA, CA—How would you like to save 88 percent of the largest single component of your energy bill? Regency Centers has done it, and been given an award to boot, as well as being recognized for other sustainability efforts.
The neighborhood center owner has been awarded the first Lighting Energy Efficiency in Parking award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Better Buildings Alliance initiative for the “Highest Percentage Savings in a Retrofit at a Single Parking Facility” for its Rona Plaza center in Santa Ana, CA. (The company also was honored by the DOE Better Buildings Alliance and the Institute for Market Transformation as a an inaugural Green Lease Leader for incorporating lease clauses that help tenant and property owners to save energy.)
The retrofit of the 51,760-square-foot center included what the company calls “best in class LED fixtures, equipped with a state-of-the-art wireless control system.” The result was an 88 percent reduction in energy use compared to the previous technology.
