The Chicago Public Library's Harold Washington Library has received new energy-efficient lighting as part of the Chicago Infrastructure Trust’s Retrofit I initiative.
Using an average of 35 fewer watts per light fixture across a total of 6,000 metal halide light bulbs will help the city save “some real money” on energy costs, Public Building Commission Project Manager George Marquisos told members of the Infrastructure Trust Board during a meeting on Thursday. He also said the new bulbs provide far brighter and cleaner lighting than the previous bulbs.
