The lighting retrofit program helps owners and leaseholders of commercial and industrial facilities upgrade light fixtures and lighting controls to energy efficient
technologies and to save aprox. 30% on energy billes.
Lighting retrofits offer the following benefits to everybody:
• Energy savings
Lighting retrofits can greatly reduce energy consumption and lower energy bills,
while maintaining lighting levels and quality by upgrading lighting components
to more efficient and advanced technologies. Upgrading technologies can also
offer employees greater control over lighting, allowing for additional energy savings.
• Improved lighting quality
Lighting retrofits can improve lighting quality by targeting problem areas with
specific design considerations to overcome common lighting issues.
Newer technologies also add increased reliability to the lighting system, so fewer
short-term lighting-quality issues should arise. These newer technologies often
have better lighting-quality characteristics, such as improved color, reduced flicker,
greater light output, etc.
• Reduced maintenance and labor costs
Improvements in lighting technologies have led to increased lifetimes for components
that will result in fewer failures and lengthen the time between maintenance activities.
The implementation of a routine maintenance program in addition to your lighting
retrofit will greatly simplify your maintenance practices and reduce the operational
costs associated with maintaining your lighting systems.
• Pollution reduction
By consuming less electricity, your facility will help reduce the demand and associated
emissions from “off-site” power generation. These harmful emissions include CO2
and other greenhouse gases.
• Green Power systems
For those facilities served by photovoltaic or other green-power systems, efficient
lighting will help limit power demands. Using more efficient lighting will require
less power to be generated, stored, and used to accomplish the same tasks, making
alternative power systems more economically and technically feasible.
