Sunovia Energy Technologies, Inc. is pleased to announce that it has completed the lighting renovation at the Oaks Country Club tennis facility in Sarasota, Fla. The renovation required that Sunovia replace the existing incandescent light fixtures at the facility with Sunovia's proprietary LED light fixtures, sold under the brand name EvoLucia(TM). As a result of the renovation, the Oaks facility is now using less than 19 percent of the energy that was being consumed by the incandescent light fixtures and has reduced its carbon emissions by more than 81 percent at the facility.
Sunovia President Bob Fugerer stated, "The Oaks renovation is a perfect example of the savings and efficiencies that can be achieved when management recognizes the value of innovation. LED lighting is an economically viable and environmentally stable solution to energy-efficient lighting. I am very pleased with the entire Sunovia team that made the Oaks renovation a major success."
