Eco-conscious lighting upgrades can make a world of difference for your business. No matter what industry you work in, upgrading your commercial facility’s lighting can help your business run like a green, clean, efficient machine.
If your facility is ready to launch into savings and more sustainable alternatives than your current commercial lighting, read on!
Eco-Friendly Lighting Upgrades for Your Green Business
Some switches can have a significant impact on your business’ energy efficiency and overall environmental impact. Here are some of the ways that contractors can help you get started with eco-friendly lighting upgrades:
- Energy & Lighting Audit – A professional electrical contractor can perform an audit to assess your current system. During an energy and lighting audit, an electrical contractor will visit your facility to collect data about your existing lighting system, the surrounding environment, current lighting requirements, and energy consumption. Through this process, he or she can determine how much energy you may be wasting and potential opportunities for energy-saving upgrades.
- Retrofitting – Today, many commercial lighting projects involve retrofitting, meaning that older fixtures are updated with advanced, cutting-edge lighting technology. In most cases, LEDs take the spotlight. These offer the best bang for your buck in terms of cost savings, energy efficiency, and lifetime durability while improving light quality. During the process, a contractor will also be sure to provide proper removal and disposal of the replaced lighting components, which may contain harmful elements and hazardous chemicals such as mercury
- Strategic Design – Electrical contractors can help facilities incorporate sustainability into their day-to-day by planning and designing energy-efficient spaces. These may maximize available daylight while minimizing lighting demand. Additionally, contractors can also help design custom solutions for your designated work area and provide recommendations for fixtures and specific products. They’ll also be able to handle maintenance and management details after the upgrade is complete.
Choosing Lighting Upgrades for Your Commercial Facility
With all of these options in mind, it can be hard to decide where to start. Here are some lighting upgrades you could consider implementing at your industrial or commercial facility:
- Parking Lot Lighting – One of the areas that can use an upgrade is your commercial facility’s parking lot. We’ve discussed the benefits of switching to LED parking lot lighting before, as they offer lowered electricity and maintenance costs, better quality light with fewer fixtures, energy savings, and the potential for sustainable automation.
