Keyser Visual, of Evergreen Park, IL, provides visual merchandising solutions, signage and menu boards to the quick service restaurant industry. The company showcased its substantial investment in energy-efficient light emitting diode (LED) technology through a complete interior and exterior conversion from traditional light sources to LEDs at one of the nation's leading fast food chain restaurants. The conversion will save over 16,000 kilowatts hours annually in that one facility, demonstrating the benefits of a comprehensive approach to LED conversion over a socket- by-socket approach. Additionally, the project included an innovative Web-enabled tool to track LED installation, validate kilowatt reduction and lower carbon emissions.
