Oregon Convention Center: Combining Strategic Energy Management With Capital Projects

Oregon Convention Center implemented capital energy-efficiency projects for several years before jumping into Strategic Energy Management with Energy Trust. They had slashed an estimated $331,447 from annual energy costs by upgrading to energy-efficient foodservice equipment and building controls. Shortly before participating in the initiative, the convention center also made several lighting improvements—replacing its 400-watt metal halide bulbs with 200-watt induction lighting and swapping hundreds of 250-watt quartz downlights for 14.6-watt LEDs.
