North Amherst Recreation Center Lighting Upgrade
The Town of Amherst is in process of securing $179,960 in grant funds from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) to upgrade the
lighting equipment at the Northtown Center and at the North Amherst Recreation Center
The North Amherst Recreation Center is a 35,500 SF athletic facility constructed in 1988. The facility houses a sports arena for indoor soccer, youth baseball, softball, and other sports training. The facility operates 12 hours per day 360 days per year, employs 2 full-time employees, and is visited by several hundred athletes daily.
Lighting fixture candidates identified for upgrade at the Center are 55 2x4 T12 fluorescent fixtures, 40 Highbay metal halide fixtures, 6 Lowbay metal halide fixtures and 30 incandescent fixtures.
The lighting upgrade is expected to lower the annual electricity consumption at the Recreation Center by 38,189 kilowatt-hours (KWH), which is equivalent to over 31,000 pounds of Carbon Dioxide green house gas avoided each year. When completed the new lights should save the Town over $4,201 in electricity cost.
