Project Overview
Canlan Romeoville is a multi-purpose sports complex in Illinois featuring three NHL-sized ice rinks along with event, retail, concession, and support spaces.
Radiance Energy was selected to retrofit lighting across the three ice rinks, main lobby, gallery, and locker rooms, with a focus on reducing energy use, improving illumination, and lowering long-term operating costs.
The Challenge
The existing lighting system was inefficient and required significant maintenance, creating unnecessary operating costs while limiting overall lighting quality.
Canlan needed a modern solution that could improve brightness and consistency across large ice surfaces and supporting spaces while reducing both electricity consumption and maintenance demands.
The Solution
Radiance Energy implemented a high-efficiency LED retrofit using LED high-bay and flat-panel fixtures combined with a wireless central lighting control system.
The upgraded system improved lighting uniformity and reduced shadows across the facility while giving Canlan greater control over lighting operation and energy use.
Project Results
- 77% energy savings
- 342,040 kWh annual energy savings
- $27,363 in annual cost savings
- 4.1-year ROI
- $231,573 projected cumulative savings over 10 years
- Improved lighting uniformity
- Reduced shadows across rink areas
- Lower ongoing maintenance requirements
Smarter Lighting Across a Three-Rink Complex
Multi-rink sports facilities require high-output lighting across large playing surfaces while operating for long hours throughout the week.
At Canlan Romeoville, combining high-efficiency LED fixtures with centralized wireless controls created a more consistent and manageable lighting system. The retrofit reduced operating costs while improving visibility for players, spectators, and facility staff.
