New and emerging lighting technologies, such as LEDs, can improve lighting quality while reducing maintenance and energy costs. The Defense Commissary Agency, with support from the Department of Energy's Federal Energy Management Program and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, demonstrsted the use of LED lighting in a large freezer storage room and fiber optic lighting in a series of verticial reach-in display freezer cases at the Fort George G. Meade Commissary. The LEDs resulted in an 85% reduction in lighting energy and a reduction in maintenance requirements. The fiber optic lighting system resulted in a 56% reduction in lighting energy.
