Dallas, TX, June 13, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Albertsons, the second largest grocer in North America, selected energy consulting firm Texal Energy to retrofit several of their Texas retail stores with new energy efficient LED lighting to improve operational costs and enhance the customer experience.

Texal Energy retrofitted over 290 metal halide fixtures with new technology T5 fluorescent high bay fixtures. These fixtures feature cutting-edge technology, including advanced infrared occupancy sensor capabilities able to read motion from over 60 feet at 360°. By replacing older metal halide (MH) fixtures with energy efficient T5 high bay lights, Albertsons saved over 60% on their energy expense while increasing light output by over 35%.

Albertsons retail stores are now completely illuminated by Texal Energy’s LED energy efficient lighting solutions and produced an annual reduction in over 370,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) and $44,000 initial return on investment. The entire project is expected to produce $310,000 in lifetime energy savings.
