PCMC earns environmental award

PCMC replaced a total of 1,369 lights in the four facilities, a mixture 400W and 1000W High Intensity Discharge types and some older style fluorescents with the HIF fixtures from Orion.

As a result, the amount of power PCMC uses for lighting fell from 2,018,318 kWh per year to 850,958, resulting in a 1,167,360kWh saving of about 60 percent. The move is expected to save a total of $85,774 per year at present rates.
