Lighting Audits
Lighting affects the productivity, accuracy and safety of everyone in your builidng.
Lighting is one of the largest uses of electricity.
Lighting is one of the most obvious places to save money and grow your business.
Think about it. Lighting affects:
- Your energy consumption (i.e. utility bills)
- How productive your employees are
- The amount of time retail customers spend in your store
- Where your customers look - i.e. your high margin items...
- Accuracy
- Safety
- Job Turnover - (yes, believe it or not people, in poorly lit facilities, tend to be sick more often and look for other jobs. This is not only costly but it drives up your recruitment, training and other management costs)
Lighting uprgades are VERY cost effective and can have a payback under 2 years! Sometimes even as low as 8 months! And, The First Energy Group has programs where you don't have to pay a cent to upgrade - your savings pay for all improvements.
Here are some conditions which may indicate you need to improve your lighting:
- Obvious things like too much or little light in an area.
- Your employees are complaining about eyestrain, headaches or glare.
- Your warehouse lights take 15 minutes to turn on after a power failure.
- Customers/Salespeople complain about either poor lighting or poor appearance.
- Flickering lamps or significant burnt out lamps
- You know you don't like how things look... but, you're not sure why.
- Your building use has changed significantly over the years but you have not changed your lighting. (Things like art departments moving into accounting space, or the last tenant had different needs than you do, etc.)
- Your lighting system is more than 7 years old.
Let us do a lighting audit for you. Your savings pay for all improvements.
