Roofing Supply Group

For more than 30 years Roofing Supply Group has provided expert service & quality roofing/building related products to thousands of customers nationwide. They have 84 locations in 25 states that specialize in the residential & commercial roofing industry. We were given the opportunity to conduct an energy audit on their New Orleans location. They were looking to increase lumen output, improve the overall appearance, & save cost on energy & maintenance. Once we conducted the audit we came to the conclusion that all 3 of these requests could be met by converting the entire facility to LED. After talking to a few other lighting companies, RSG determined that we were the company that best suited their needs.

The existing lighting in the warehouse consisted of (56) 400W high bay fixtures & (18) 128W 4-lamp T8 fluorescent fixtures. The existing exterior had (4) 1000W flood fixtures, (2) 250W wall packs, (2) 175W night watchmen, (18) 52W 2-lamp 8” recessed cans, & (5) 128W 4-lamp T8 fluorescent fixtures. The existing interior had (216) 32W T8 fluorescent tubes that varied between 2-lamp, 3-lamp, & 4-lamp fixtures & (10) 52W 2-lamp 8” recessed cans. We used 150W LED high bays, 320W LED flood lights, 150W LED flood lights, 70W LED night watchmen, 22W LED 8” recessed cans, & 15W LED hybrid tubes to replace all of the existing lighting at RSG. We were also able to reduce the high bay fixture count from (56) down to (48) due to the lumen efficiency of the new LED high bay. All of the other fixtures counts remained the same & were changed with their LED equivalent.

After completion of the install, we were able to meet or exceed all of RSG’s
expectations for the project. The lumen output was increased drastically, overall appearance of the facility was improved by having color temperatures match in each section, & between the energy/maintenance savings they will now be spending $10,000 less each year. We look forward to working with RSG in the future.
