Sears Holdings, Inc. earned a $154,900
incentive from NV Energy's Sure Bet program
for energy efficiency improvements at its
Kmart Distribution Center in Sparks on South
McCarran Boulevard.
It's the second largest incentive awarded in
the program's five-year history.
The company qualified for the incentive by
redesigning the lighting for the distribution
center, upgrading the building's fluorescent
lights to more efficient models and reducing
the number of fixtures from 5,270 to 3,787.
The company also installed sensors to automatically
switch off fixtures in unoccupied
areas.
The lighting improvements will reduce the
distribution center's annual electricity consumption
by 4.2 million kilowatt hours.
The lighting project was spearheaded by
EMC LLC, a lighting company headquartered
in Minneapolis.
