AI summary The project was not fully completed during the site visit, with 27 HID fixtures still in place. The installation contractor returned after the visit and completed the work. Tables 2 and 3 detail equipment reviewed and installed fixtures, including T8 and HID lighting conversions. Baseline fixtures were removed during installation, making it difficult to confirm pre-existing conditions.

6.0 On-site Observations and Findings This project consisted of 39 various groups of lights characterized by fixture type and location. Of the 39 groups, slight fixture quantity discrepancies were identified in 10 instances. In many cases,...

AI summary The project involved retrofitting 39 groups of lights, with minor discrepancies in fixture quantities and types identified. These discrepancies slightly reduced the claimed connected load reduction from 102.6 kW to 101.9 kW. Lighting logger data was collected to estimate lighting runtimes, though peak coincidence factors were not analyzed for peak demand savings.
