Lighting Energy

Chances are almost half of your electricity use is for lighting. For most buildings, upgrading to energy saving lights is the best building improvement to make. Lighting retrofits have the fastest payback time of all energy efficiency or clean-tech projects. At the same time, it takes literally tons off your carbon footprint. A lighting retrofit involves upgrading older fluorescent office lights, high intensity warehouse light, halogens, and incandescent light to new premium efficiency ballasts and bulbs. Many utilities offer rebates for lighting upgrades. The calculator below recommends the right alternative light for you, showing you the cost and savings based on your operation, area, and potential rebates.
