Kaiser Permanente
Kaiser Permanente in 2003 installed more than 700 energy-efficient T-5 High Output (HO) high-bay light fixtures and more than 600 occupancy sensors (which turn off lights in unoccupied rooms) at its 300,000-sq.-ft. distribution warehouse in Northern California. These changes have reduced total site energy use by more than the projected 22% and have substantially improved lighting quality for employees. This year, Kaiser added a cool roof and timers to outside lighting. For 2005, Kaiser has plans to install efficient air-conditioning and energy management systems.
