Wal-Mart Holds Grand Reopening of Store Featuring LED Parking Lot Site Lighting

From

Walmart, a U.S. Department of Energy Alliance Partner, held a grand opening for its first retail store to feature LED parking lot site lighting. The lighting was based on specifications which the DOE's Retailer Energy Alliance developed. The Walmart Superstore located in Leavenworth, Kansas USA reopened on July 15, 2009. The store will reportedly serve as a test site for the viability of expanding LED parking lot lights at Wal-Mart stores nationwide.

Wal-Mart is one of 43 retailers that are taking part in DOE's Net-Zero Commercial Building Initiative (CBI) as members of the DOE Retailer Energy Alliance (REA). REA members work with DOE and the national laboratories to advance the development and market adoption of net-zero energy commercial buildings.
