LED T8 Lamps
Howard’s Direct Replacement
LED T8 lamp does not
require an electrical rewiring to install. Because
the LED T8’s work with
instant start ballasts, they are
independent of the ballast
operating voltage which can
be 120v, 277v, or 347v. This
makes switching to LEDs as
simple as changing a light
bulb (no rewiring or special
handling required).
We are also pleased to
announce that we have
submitted for DLC on these
lamps and expect approval
very soon.

Showing our Support and Love
Our Customer Service Manager, Mike Mauldin, and
his wife, Linda were handed a diagnosis of breast
cancer. Linda will soon be having surgery to hopefully
stop the spread of the cancer.
The staff at Howard Lighting decided to show their
support and love for Mike and Linda by having
T-shirts made with “Lovely Ladies for Linda”. The men
even wanted to show their support, so “Men in Pink
for Linda” T-shirts were also made.
As a long-time employee of Howard Lighting, Mike

St. Louis made energy efficiency

The city also upgraded the lighting fixtures in the City Hall parking structure. The new LED lights
deliver more useful light and use
nearly 83 percent less energy than

St. Louis Launches Plan for More Sustainable Community
Source: Department of Energy | energy.gov
By Christina Stowers | Communications Specialist in the Office of Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program
St. Louis -- regarded as the Gateway
to the West -- is also becoming the
gateway to sustainability for the state of
Missouri. Central to increasing energy
efficiency in St. Louis has been the
Energy Department’s Energy Efficiency
and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG)
Program.
St. Louis identified its City Hall considered
the “crown jewel” of the city’s buildings
portfolio as a building that could benefit
from retrofit. Before making upgrades,
the city conducted an energy audit of the
building and determined that it was only
occupied 40 percent of the year. The city
saw an opportunity to reduce energy use
for the other 60 percent of the year when
the systems require minimal operation.
EECBG funds were leveraged to help
meet these energy efficiency goals -including HVAC retrofits, internal lighting
upgrades, direct digital control upgrades
and whole building lighting upgrades
-- and resulted in energy savings up to 50
percent.
Additionally, 52 outdated metal halide
lamp fixtures were replaced with LED
fixture tops in the City Hall parking
structure. The new LED fixtures deliver
more useful light where it is needed and
draw a total of 1.3 kilowatts (kW) of power
-- compared to the 7.8 kW required by
the previous lighting -- for an energy
savings of nearly 83 percent.
Further developing its sustainability
goals, the city identified several
individual projects where it could increase
energy efficiency. Leaders leveraged
approximately $200,000 of their EECBG
grant with private donations to create
the City of St. Louis Sustainability Plan,
which was formally adopted by the city’s
Planning Commission in January. The plan
-- along with the Mayor’s Sustainability
Action Agenda that outlines priority
sustainability initiatives to implement -was publicly announced at an event on
Feb. 28.
The plan was developed over an
18-month period, and hundreds of
individuals interested in making St.
Louis more sustainable participated in
the process. The city involved residents
through public outreach and community
engagement, including a community
sustainability survey with nearly 1,200
respondents.
“We were already working hard to
advance sustainability in the city,
but having a Sustainability Plan will
enable us to work collectively with our
many partners to be as effective and
progressive in the field as possible,” St.
Louis Mayor Francis G. Slay said. “This
plan will help focus the conversation on
sustainability. It is designed to support
our goals to improve overall quality of
life and to make the city a more desirable
place now and in the future.”

After making energy efficiency
upgrades, Smart for Life expects
to save 58 percent annually on its
energy bills.
Thanks to reduced operating

The Smart for Life expansion project is projected to have an economic impact of $64.7 million over
the next five years.

Palm Beach County Sees Energy-Smart Economic Growth
Source: Department of Energy | energy.gov
By Christina Stowers | Communications Specialist in the Office of Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program
Palm Beach County is a prime example
of a community that is embracing energy
savings to spur economic development.
Smart for Life -- a manufacturer and
distributor of nutritious food products
-- opted to keep its production facility
in Florida rather than move to Mexico,
after receiving support from a revolving
loan fund (RLF) program provided by the
Energy Department’s Energy Efficiency
and Conservation Block Grant Program.
Smart for Life received a loan from Palm
Beach County’s RLF program to boost
its production facility’s overall energy
efficiency, including installing new
electrical wiring, lighting, insulation,
a solar hot water heater and an airconditioning system. Additionally, the
company installed a new energy-efficient
oven and blast freezer. Since the facility’s
opening last September, Smart for Life
has already seen a significant reduction
in its utility bills. The company expects to
save approximately 58 percent annually
on its energy bills.
The Palm Beach County Department
of Economic Sustainability estimates
the Smart for Life project will have an
economic impact of $64.7 million over the
next five years.
The main goal of the RLF program is
to encourage smart economic growth
among small businesses, such as Smart
for Life, by providing incentives for
energy-efficient equipment that will
reduce operating costs for the companies.
Smart for Life chose to open its new,
expanded manufacturing facility in Riviera
Beach, Florida, a targeted revitalization
area in Palm Beach County. In addition
to maintaining its current workforce of
40 employees, the company expects to
create 25 new full-time jobs as part of its
expansion.
