Honeywell’s world-leading LED lighting products have been adopted by 100 Wal-Mart stores in China, enabling the retail giant to reduce its energy consumption and cut operating costs. By installing Honeywell’s LED lighting products, each Wal-Mart store can cut its annual electricity consumption by around one million kilowatt-hours, which represents approximate savings of 50 percent in electricity expenses on lighting and 15 percent in Wal-Mart’s total electricity expenses.
Under the cooperation agreement between Honeywell and Wal-Mart, which began in 2008, Honeywell plays a key role in the redesign of the stores and their implementation of low-energy lighting. In addition to providing the LED products, Honeywell offers consultation, design, and optimization services for lighting, and helps Wal-Mart improve lighting quality while saving energy.
Honeywell’s high-efficiency LED products play a key part in the retail giants’ drive to respond to China’s environmental targets by reducing the carbon footprint of its stores. As part of China’s 12th Five-Year Plan, the Chinese government has set a goal of reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions per unit of GDP by up to 17 percent by 2015. And the LED industry is experiencing fast growth. Many enterprises have responded to the national campaign for lower energy consumption by switching to high-efficiency LED lighting, which cuts their costs and enables them to contribute to the green economy.
