  1   Highly efficient lighting system Carmichael Gymnasium, located on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, was illuminated exclusively with incandescent lighting. The University removed 141 incandescent luminaries totaling 106 KW and relaced them with 60 metal halide luminaires, for an estimated annual savings of $15,755. All work was performed by physical plant personnel, including both design and installation. The lighting retrofit of Carmichael produced an approximate reduction of 173,000 KWHs per year. Cost to implement was $30,000. Payback for the project was estimated at 1.9 years.
