Increasingly, businesses today are concerned with sustainability and minimizing their environmental impact. One way they achieve this is by implementing energy-efficient lighting systems. Not only are these systems better for the environment, but they can positively affect a firm’s bottom line.
What is Energy Efficient Lighting?
Energy-efficient lighting aims to keep the overall lighting wattage low while still delivering the necessary amount of illumination to an area. This can be accomplished in several ways: switching from incandescent to LED bulbs, installing motion sensors in areas of the facility that aren’t frequently used to turn the lights on when someone enters the room, or maximizing the natural light provided by windows and skylights.
Profitability
Installing energy-efficient lighting in your facility can lead to significant savings in energy costs, and lowering overhead expenses without sacrificing lighting quality is always beneficial. Additionally, utility companies are often required by regulators to encourage consumers to use less energy. One way they achieve this is through incentives, a method of rewarding businesses for using less energy. Many companies fail to leverage these incentives, giving the firms that do an edge. Moreover, this perk helps to increase the return on investment of the new lighting system.
How We Can Help
Energy-efficient lighting systems are not one-size-fits-all. A warehouse with high ceilings, tall shelves, and few windows has significantly different lighting needs compared to an office building with an open floor plan and ample natural light. At Relumination, our seasoned lighting professionals can assess your company’s unique requirements, measure current light levels, and identify problem areas and opportunities for improvement, then design the optimal layout for your facility. If you choose to proceed, we can install the system and even assist with the sometimes complex paperwork required to obtain the energy company incentives.
