A small regional hospital has 550 fluorescent light fixtures which operate 24 hours/day, year round. Each fixture requires two bulbs. The fixtures currently accommodate T12 fluorescent bulbs with choke ballasts but hospital administration is considering replacing the fixtures to accommodate more energy efficient T8 bulbs with electronic ballasts. The installation cost of the new fixtures (including bulbs) is $45 per fixture. The T12 bulbs cost $1.00 per bulb and use 84 watts of electricity per hour. The T8 bulbs cost $2.50 per bulb and use 60 watts of electricity per hour. The life expectancy of both T8 and T12 bulbs averages 19,800 hours. Bulbs are routinely replaced at their expected life. The average annual replacement cost of bulbs is to be included in the analysis. In addition to their kilowatt-hour electricity savings, the T8 bulbs generate less heat so this will reduce cooling costs during the summer but will increase heating costs in the winter. The annualized cooling cost savings from the T8 bulbs are $450/year. The annualized heating cost increase
