Description

These include but are not limited to roadways and streetscape lights. There are various types of fixtures used such as high-pressure sodium (HPS), metal halide, mercury vapor and leds. In 2011, the city received grant funds to convert approximately 3,000 HPS roadway lights to energy-efficient leds. There are more than half of the existing streetlight inventory that are operating on low-energy-efficient fixtures. The objective of this project is to convert the remaining low efficiency streetlights to high efficiency led fixtures. The goal of the conversion is to minimize energy consumption, maximize energy cost savings, minimize future maintenance costs, increase safety, and improve the general well-being of residents and visitors in stamford. Additionally, the city intends to use this opportunity to determine the feasibility of a city-wide smart street lighting system (ssls). Based on the city's initial research, the cost of the communication nodes, or 'smart' nodes, and other ssls equipment would exceed the DOE grant amount. However, the city will work to 'future-proof' the street lighting infrastructure by incorporating led luminaires that are capable of integrating with a ssls protocol. Streetlights are perhaps one of the city's most important assets. This project will allow stamford to meet its energy efficiency and sustainability goals, lower both utility and maintenance costs, and lay the foundation for an advanced, data-focused lighting infrastructure that will equip stamford to better serve the city's residents and visitors alike.
