UCLA Health Operating Rooms Are Being Retrofitted With New LED Lighting To Reduce Carbon Emissions

In an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the operating rooms, UCLA Health performed an assessment to retrofit lighting fixtures with new LED bulbs. The first two operating rooms to undergo lighting updates will save an estimated 5.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year. It is expected that, once completed, the project will save 45.5 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent annually.
