Siemens was awarded an Energy Performance Contract (EPC) for four communities in the state of New York: Clifton Park, Cohoes, Troy, and Cortlandville. Siemens identified smart streetlight retrofits as one of the early projects based on the clear, measurable energy efficiency benefits. As the communities convert to smart LED, they are able to realize tremendous energy savings, and then leverage these savings to fund future smart infrastructure projects including sustainable buildings, optimized energy-efficient HVAC systems, and more.
TerraGo StreetlightOps software was utilized to rapidly deploy and efficiently maintain thousands of lights, including Ubicquia smart lighting controls, across all four New York municipalities. These new, smart light fixtures have brought monthly energy costs down approximately 75%, from $28 per light to $8 per light, producing savings that will be reinvested into other smart infrastructure programs.
TerraGo StreetlightOps helped Siemens track progress and ultimately accelerate energy savings for these communities. TerraGo’s built-in data analytics and reporting enabled Siemens to continuously monitor key performance indicators and deliver timely reports to community stakeholders.
