Toronto Palace Pier waterfront residential areas has become Canada's first use of LED lighting technology within the residential building, which is only worth 2.4 million U.S. dollars within the corridors of innovation projects in the part of the project.

Toronto Palace Pier apartment Chairman of the Board Jim Lord said: "This is the largest in North America and Canada in the internal use of LED lighting technology in residential areas. Our board of directors and residents have been dedicated to finding new green lighting solutions, we found that LED lighting is We have to answer. "

The works in all 44 of the corridors on each use by nearly 1,300 of the MR16 LED lamps, and the traditional 35 watts compared to halogen MR16 lamps, Canada CRS Electronics companies to provide the LED lights at only 4 watts.

CRS's LED MR16 lamps in the sustainable use of 40,000 hours after the luminous flux can be maintained 70 percent, equivalent to continuous use for five years. With the alternative compared to 35 watts of halogen, LED MR16 lamps reduce energy consumption 87 percent, while Palace Pier residents can save each year about 40,000 U.S. dollars. 40 kilowatts of electricity demand lower, but the annual total power consumption savings of 349,226, equivalent to 110 tons of reduced greenhouse gas emissions. And the halogen lamp life of 2,000 hours, and MR16 lamps for 40,000 hours, which greatly reduced the purchase of light bulbs and workers and labor requirements, such as the maintenance costs. Therefore, comprehensive consideration of energy conservation and maintenance costs, nine months after the purchase of cost recovery.
