TORONTO, July 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Toronto Association of Business Improvement Areas (TABIA) today announced that Toronto is joining Raleigh, N.C. in a citywide initiative to install light-emitting diode (LED) lighting throughout its infrastructure. The "LED City" program, which was launched in February by City of Raleigh officials and LED manufacturer Cree, Inc., fosters collaboration among municipalities as they deploy energy- efficient lighting to deliver cost savings and environmental benefits.
As a part of the LED City program, TABIA will evaluate, deploy and promote the use of LEDs across multiple lighting applications. Toronto citizens should notice LEDs appearing throughout parks, parking garages and in architectural lighting over the coming months. LEDs provide an energy-efficient, mercury- free solution helping to preserve the environment, while delivering more- flexible and longer-lasting lighting than traditional lighting technologies.
Toronto has been a center for LED consumer education and an early adopter of LED lighting. Over the past four years, TABIA has proactively demonstrated the advantages of LEDs to Toronto residents and businesses, and the use of LEDs has evolved from a holiday-light exchange and installation program to the application of LEDs in retail displays and streetlight installations, such as the one at Exhibition Place.
Today's commitment to the LED City initiative shows a willingness to increase its use of the technology in order to support the Canadian legislative agenda focused on energy efficiency. Toronto's use of LEDs further supports its participation in the William J. Clinton Foundation's Climate Initiative to accelerate greenhouse gas emissions reductions and slow global warming.
