Granby, QC collaborates with Energère and Trilliant on a smart street light network
The project connects 5,794 LED fixtures to an intelligent lighting management system from Trilliant. Granby's public works team controls lighting levels and monitors each fixture's performance on a centralized platform. Each fixture uses directional lighting for reduced light pollution with LED bulbs lasting five times longer than the replaced bulbs. Local officials anticipate a 25-year emissions savings of 96.5 tons along with reduced operating costs.
