Study suggests city switch to LEDs

The city can save $700,000 to $1 million annually and decrease its greenhouse gas emissions by switching its lights in traffic signals and street lights to LEDs, and making improvements and upgrades to its facilities and operations, according to a study.

Global Green USA, an environmental nonprofit organization, released the study today after spending a year preparing it.

The study doesn’t include a cost estimate for the changes.

The study was an inventory of the city’s operations and facilities, and a detailed audit is needed for a cost estimate, said Matt Petersen, Global Green’s president and chief executive officer.
