Cermak Plaza has taken the clean tech aspect of Lumenpulse products even further, by powering the fixtures with twelve, 35 ft. wind turbines that cultivate energy from the edge of the plaza’s parking lot. The turbines generate up to 2,500 kilowatt hours of electricity each year and when not powering the LEDs, they direct power back to the grid – actually earning income for Cermak Plaza Associates LLC which also receives a federal credit for installing green technology.
In the case study, Scott Allman, AIA, president of Ethos Workshop had this to say: “It has been a great success. It’s brought the property to life.”This new life can also be measured in new business with recent leases to Meijer and K&G bringing the property to 98% leased – a far cry from just a couple of years ago.
Additionally, the ministry plans to build "model cities" in Keelung, Hsinchu and Chiayi using LED streetlighting. The project is expected to replace 53,000 traditional streetlights and should be completed in three years with a budget of NT$700 million. The change will generate about NT$1.4 billion-worth of business for the LED industry.
