CHALLENGE<br />
Reduce energy and labor costs to replace<br />
lights while providing a more energy efficient<br />
and sustainable lighting option in The Shops<br />
at <strong>Prudential</strong> <strong>Center</strong>’s <strong>Food</strong> <strong>Court</strong>.<br />
SOLUTION<br />
Retrofit fixtures with more efficient lamps that<br />
will use less energy. In addition to the lights<br />
using less energy, they will also generate less<br />
heat, which will lead to a reduction in HVAC<br />
costs during the summer.<br />
FACT SHEET<br />
• 591 Light fixtures<br />
• 17,520 annual hours burned<br />
• 88,855 kWh used annually before retrofit<br />
• 47,742 kWh used annually after retrofit<br />
• Savings of 41,113 kWh annually<br />
• $5,826.00 annual savings<br />
• 1.41 year simple payback

ABOUT THE SHOPS AT<br />
PRUDENTIAL CENTER’S FOOD COURT<br />
The Shops at <strong>Prudential</strong> <strong>Center</strong>’s <strong>Food</strong> <strong>Court</strong> is located at Boston’s iconic<br />
<strong>Prudential</strong> <strong>Center</strong>, a 23-acre site between Boylston Street and Huntington<br />
Avenue in the heart of Boston’s Back Bay. The <strong>Prudential</strong> <strong>Center</strong> is a 3.2<br />
million square foot urban center, comprised of 2.6 million square feet of<br />
office space and 620,000 square feet of retail space. The complex provides<br />
direct access to the Massachusetts Turnpike and on-site access to the<br />
MBTA Green Line, and has the largest parking garage in New England, with<br />
space for 3,660 cars.<br />
The Shops at <strong>Prudential</strong> <strong>Center</strong> features more than 27 dining options under<br />
one roof, with the <strong>Food</strong> <strong>Court</strong> hosting the largest concentration of 11<br />
eateries. Originally built in 1993, the <strong>Food</strong> <strong>Court</strong> has changed considerably<br />
throughout the years, with Cheeseboy as the most recent addition.<br />
LIGHTING RETROFIT PROJECT DESCRIPTION<br />
Retrofit (112) Q35MR16 and (79) Q50MR16 light fixtures to more energy efficient 6.5w and 3.5w LED lamps. In addition, replace<br />
(300) F32T8 and (100) F28T8 with (400) F25T8 lamps. Replacing the Q35MR16 lamps to a 6.5w LED reduces the wattage per bulb<br />
by 81%. Replacing the Q50MR16 lamps with a 3.5w LED reduces the wattage per bulb by 93% and also extends the lamp life to<br />
20,000 hours. The combination of extending the lamp life and the reduction of wattage will lead to an approximate savings of<br />
$5,826.00 per year.<br />
