What are the Benefits of a Lighting Retrofit?

What are the Benefits of a Lighting Retrofit?
With lighting accounting for more than 25 percent of the energy used in most buildings, increased efficiency can make a big difference to your monthly energy bill.

Reduced Energy and Maintenance Costs
According to the Energy Savings Cost Council, energy-efficient lighting upgrades represent the highest return on investment of any single-technology project, with an average ROI of 45 percent. These upgrades pay for themselves in as little as 2.2 years and the payback continues over the lifetime of the system through reduced energy and maintenance costs.

Tax Incentives and Rebates
Numerous tax incentives and utility rebates are available for choosing sustainable lighting for non-residential buildings. Federal, state and local programs may provide incentives for the certified use of qualifying energy-efficient lighting technologies in both new construction and renovation applications.

Research: lighting system maintenance saves money and reduces carbon footprint

Research: lighting system maintenance saves money and reduces carbon footprint
It comes as no surprise to learn that many companies pay little or no attention to maintaining light reflecting surfaces/lenses or lighting system components in order to maintain maximum energy efficiency. In fact, most maintenance budgets do not include funds to even clean fixtures.

To optimize lighting systems regular maintenance is necessary to ensure that facilities receive the appropriate quantity and quality of light, as well as, maintaining the overall energy efficiency of each lighting system.

Traditionally, lighting systems are overdesigned to accommodate for the this expected lack of maintenance. Click here to read a report by a University that had an ROI (return on investment) in less than 17 months on their lighting system project AND reduced their carbon footprint.

Aztec Electric, offers the experience to enhance lighting systems, lighting fixtures, and reduce your carbon footprint. As a certified Trade Ally Contractor of the Energy Trust of Oregon, Aztec Electric can assist you in receiving energy rebates with the right planning and energy usage.
