Knowledge is the first step toward change

In non-residential buildings, lighting accounts for 29% of energy usage, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. This makes buildings great targets for energy audits. Installing energy-efficient fixtures, ballasts, lamps — and in some cases occupancy sensors, lighting controls and other equipment — can significantly impact energy costs. A trained professional will be able to show you how making the initial investment will return a positive investment within just a few years.

Lighting is an easy place to start an audit, but it’s not comprehensive. Audits can be useful to examine anything in your building that uses energy. These areas include heating/cooling, office equipment, motors, doors/windows, docks and even rooftops.

Utility companies and the government offer a variety of rebates and incentives for installing energy efficient products. Visit our Rebates page to learn more.
