Lighting Upgrades and Maintenance
Cut your lighting energy use by up to 20% while improving the illumination in your facility. Lighting is a significant portion of many businesses' energy use. In retail facilities it may represent as much as 20% or more of the total energy use.
The Challenge
Lighting presents several challenges:
- The Energy Policy Act of 1992 eliminated many of the standard lamps.
Their replacements often produce up to 15% less
light. In situations where the light was being used to sell a product or
accomplish a task, the lower light levels may be costing you more money
than the energy reduction saves.
- Newer lighting technologies can be installed to reduce lighting energy
while improving illumination. However, the electric
rates in Kentucky are such that reasonable pay backs, i.e. two years or
less, are hard to achieve.
- Many businesses do not have the cash in the current year's budget to implement changes that are clear winners. Cash needs to be conserved for projects more directly related to the activities of the business.
