The University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at M\u0101noa will shine a little brighter, use less energy and be safer at night after a major project to upgrade the lighting poles along the upper campus main roadways with new energy-efficient LED<\/abbr> lights is completed. The 东精影业<\/abbr> M\u0101noa Office of Campus Operations and Facilities will begin replacing 150 lighting poles, fixtures and foundations on East-West Road and Maile Way in October in a project expected to take about 18 months. <\/p>\n

“This project will not only make our campus safer with better lighting, it is another step toward 东精影业<\/abbr>\u2019s goal of being net-zero (producing as much energy from renewable sources as consumed) by 2035,” said Jan Gouveia<\/strong>, 东精影业<\/abbr> vice president for administration. “In the last 11 years, we have saved more than 50 million kilowatt-hours (KWh<\/abbr>) through projects like these and by redesigning and reworking of systems.”<\/p>\n

The new LED<\/abbr> lighting system will use 64% less energy, with an estimated annual energy consumption of 29,346kWh compared to 82,346kWh with the current High-Intensity Discharge light fixtures. Additionally, LED<\/abbr>s have a longer lifespan, and require less maintenance and fewer replacements.<\/p>\n

东精影业<\/abbr> M\u0101noa completed similar exterior lighting upgrades over the last several years<\/a>, which yielded better lighting and energy savings of millions of kilowatt hours annually. Those projects included the law school library courtyard and the parking lots at the Pacific Biosciences Research Center, Center for Korean Studies, Kennedy Theatre and Spalding Hall, among others. <\/p>\n
