Energy Efficient Project
The Overland (Liberty Food Group) is located in an old Basque hotel in Gardnerville, Nevada. It was originally built in 1902 and has since been remodeled into a restaurant and pub. As a 2025 Green Business Grant recipient, Overland decided to replace their old 32-watt fluorescent bulbs with LEDs to reduce energy costs.
Lighting Swap: 32W → 8W
Number of lights replaced: 26
The Overland replaced 26 individual 32W Fluorescent bulbs with 8W LED Bulbs. A straightforward swap that immediately
saves energy cost.
PROJECT OUTCOMES
- Energy Saved: 2,896 kWh/year
- Emissions Reduced: 0.83 MT CO2e/year
- Projected Cost Savings: $252.85/year
Project Results
This project illustrates how existing structures, both new and old, can integrate updated lighting into their established interior design and identity. Older structures often stand to gain the most from such upgrades, as we see with Overland’s impressive energy reductions (2,896 kWh annually).
