Lighting is one of the most important elements to enhance the Honolulu Museum of Art’s collection of more than 50,000 rare artifacts, sculptures and paintings including works from Van Gogh, Gauguin, Monet, Picasso and Warhol.

Both the museum’s main location on Beretania Street and the Honolulu Museum of Art Spalding House (formerly the Contemporary Museum) in Makiki underwent extensive lighting renovations to replace old lighting, which included linear fluorescent tube lights, halogens, incandescent and compact fluorescent lamps, with lower-wattage tube lights and LEDs. The outdoor areas such as the courtyards, landscapes and balconies were also retrofitted with LEDs, and occupancy sensors and dimming controllers were installed in both museums to boost energy savings.

The energy and cost savings are as impressive as the museum’s art. The Beretania Street location will save an estimated 468,599 kilowatt hours (kWh) annually, equatingto $113,400 in energy costs. The Spalding House will save an estimated 36,539 kWh annually or $9,682 in energy costs*. Hawaii Energy provided an incentive of $91,007 to help offset the overall project costs.

In 2012, the Museum also redesigned and replaced five aging, unconnected chillers with an integrated central plant, as well as new heat pump water heaters and electronically commutated motors to walk-in refrigerators in its Art Café.*Each location pays slightly different electricity rates based on the square footage of the facilities.

Hawaii Energy is the ratepayer-funded energy conservation and efficiency program administered by Leidos Engineering, LLC under contract with the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission serving the islands of Hawaii, Lanai, Maui, Molokai and Oahu.

“The aesthetics are an integral part of our installations; however, energy conservation is just as important to lower overhead costs and help Hawaii’s clean energy future.”– Allison Wong, Deputy Director Honolulu Museum of Art
