Reading Parking Authority
The project started with an energy audit of the garage’s current lighting system conducted by Atlantic Energy Concepts, a Reading, Pennsylvania-based energy services company that can actually ensure lower energy bills for businesses. “The audit found the garage has a serious lighting problem,” explained Philip L. Oropesa, the Authority’s executive director. “It’s far from energy efficient.”
Brad Salamone, of the energy services company, confirmed, “It has a ravenous appetite for electricity.” It’s an inefficient fluorescent lighting system totaling 440 fixtures and 880 lamps that provide uneven illumination for the first three levels of the 300,000 sq. ft. garage, including stairwells, waiting areas and offices,” according to Salamone.
