Great Northern Mall
The Challenge
Great Northern Mall, a Central New York
landmark, was in need of a face lift. The
low light quality inside the mall was
diminishing the charming shopping
experience Great Northern was trying to
create. The facility also had high energy
bills and maintenance costs. Ownership
was looking for a solution that would
reduce these expenses, increase the
overall value of the facility, and provide a
heightened retail experience.
The Solution
Effective lighting design is a vital link to
the overall environment of any retail
landscape. If visitors feel comfortable,
they are more likely to stay longer and
purchase more during their visit. BlueRock
Energy Services upgraded the entire
concourse of the mall with high quality,
cost effective, LED recessed can fixtures.
The Results
The LED lighting upgrade significantly
lowered Great Northern Mall’s consumption
and maintenance costs. It also provided
shoppers with a more pleasant and
comfortable buying experience. Creating
this positive atmosphere has translated into
lengthier customer visits and increased
awareness of the variety of stores within the
mall while providing a newly renovated look.

The Numbers
Great Northern Mall's electricity consumption in the first two full months since
the LED upgrade was 617,077 kwh lower than their electricity consumption in
the two full months prior to the installation. This reduction in Great Northern's
electricity usage resulted in an estimated utility savings of $14,863 in those
two months.
