Rick Rabba, who is heading up the energy conservation initiative for the business, has completed major lighting retrofits in all of the Toronto locations, which are run 24 hours a day. They have replaced their old T12 fluorescent tube lighting with newer, more efficient T8 technology. This also involved switching to newer electronic ballast fixtures and decreasing the number of bulbs while installing reflectors. These retrofits alone have decreased energy consumption by over 60,000 kWhrs and saved Rabba over $7,000/yr at each store!
