New or Renovated Multi-Use Sports Facilities 

August 10, 2017

Chelsea Piers Connecticut (CPCT) is upgrading all lighting throughout the facility with 96 Big Ass Light LED fixtures that will reduce energy consumption by 238,000 kilowatt-hours per year, according to Erica Bates, vice president of public relations for CPCT. This is the first of a four-year plan to introduce energy-saving lighting to the 500,000-square-foot facility.

Opened in 2012, the CPCT features ice rinks, an Olympic pool and Splash Zone, a gymnastics training center, a dance academy, squash courts, indoor tennis courts, a turf baseball/softball training facility and batting cages, a 100-yard turf field, four hardwood basketball/volleyball courts and a 1/5-mile track in addition to an adventure center that features trampolines, a rock wall and a little athletes’ gym for toddlers and preschoolers.

“Overall, Chelsea Piers Connecticut will be cutting our electric usage by 1.2 million kilowatt-hours per year with the lighting upgrade,” Bates said. “The New York City facility will also be changing out the lighting in the Field House and Sports Center.”
