What is an energy efficient lighting solution?
Whether your company leases or owns your building,
it is probably built 10-30 years ago with equally dated lighting
technology. An energy efficient Retrofit Lighting Project updates your
current light fixtures with technology that reduces their electricity
usage by 40-50% and actually increases the fixture's light output. In
addition to updating your light fixtures, a complete energy efficient
lighting solution includes motion sensors and timers where appropriate
so that lights are only being used when they are needed.
Why would this be beneficial to our organization?
The reason is simple; you save money. Your
business sees immediate and significant savings on your electrical bill,
reduced maintenance and lamp costs, and brighter lighting in work areas
which directly effects worker satisfaction and productivity, improving
your bottom line.
Does this help my company even if we lease space?
When you lease, you invest a lot into your leased
space to make your business run well. When you implement a Retrofit
Lighting Solution, you save money each month for as long as you are in
the building. If you lease a space for 3-10 years, your business could
save thousands of dollars just by paying less in electrical bills.
What could my savings look like?
We would be happy to provide you with examples of
savings that would fit your facility on your request.
Should I wait for a rebate?
Initially, most organizations feel that they
should wait until they can receive a rebate from a utility company or
other source. While of course, you want to take advantage of all the
rebates and monies available when you do a lighting retrofit, it is
almost always better for your productivity and bottom line to implement
a well planned lighting upgrade sooner rather than waiting for a
possible future rebate. In most cases, the money that your company will
start saving by implementing a Lighting Retrofit Project now is much
greater than the money you might receive by a future rebate. You may
actually be loosing money by waiting for a rebate.
