One of the ways both the Interior Health and Central Okanagan Public Schools have achieved such large energy savings is by replacing fluorescent lighting with new LED tubes.

Interior Health saved enough energy with LED’s to power 225 homes for a year.

These cost savings reduce the need for hydro infrastructure which in turn lessens rate costs for all users.
