How does a green lighting retrofit help to reduce lighting costs?

• Switch to energy-efficient light bulbs: Your current light bulbs might still be working well. So why switch to something else? Because green lighting retrofits bring huge savings on every bill and pay for themselves in a relatively short span of time. New energy efficient lighting includes more efficient fluorescent tube lighting, T8 and T5 lamps and compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs). There are also emerging products and technologies, such as LEDs (light emitting diodes). With evolving environment based regulation, the older bulbs are soon likely to be obsolete, so it’s best to switch right now!

• Just the right amount of lighting: Don’t overdo it! Green lighting retrofits are a progressive solution but that doesn’t mean you should over do it. Excessive lighting is harsh on the eyes and makes it uncomfortably hot for your employees. In addition, it drives up your bills. Get a professional assessment of your facility. An analysis of the current lighting and your actual requirements will help you determine how much you really need.

• Turn out when not required: The main focus of a smart energy management plan and green lighting retrofits is to eliminate as much waste as possible. Many DC and Virginia businesses end up paying for a large amount of energy that is really not needed. Motion sensors and other types of building automation equipment will allow you to turn your lighting on and off based on occupancy schedule. Energy saved is money saved.
