Every year, about 39% of Americans make resolutions to ring in the new year with. Some decide to set goals pertaining to living a healthier lifestyle, while others try to find ways to save more financially. One area you don’t want to overlook in terms of goal setting, is energy goals for your business. Our Energy Efficiency programs enable businesses in all industries to reduce energy and overall maintenance costs, increase equipment longevity and performance, and improve the work environment for your employees by boosting their safety and time-efficiency. Let 2023 be the year that you set energy goals for your business and crush them!
Here are three energy goals for your business to consider in 2023.
- Save by reducing energy consumption. As more companies are looking to the future, one of the top and most common reasons for investing in a lighting retrofit is for the energy consumption benefits. Depending on the application, the reduction in lighting load alone can be up to 50% or more. There is an opportunity for added savings by applying advanced control strategies to reduce consumption an additional 40% or more in most spaces. There is also the potential to reduce the number of light fixtures required to light a given space which meads you purchase less fixtures.
- Improve site safety. Lighting retrofits can improve site safety by addressing areas of low light that could be potential safety hazards. Working with installers who provide design and photometric analysis will identify areas for improvement such as low-lit parking lots, dark warehouse areas and high security areas. A retrofit upgrade can improve light levels in these high-hazard areas while still reducing energy consumption.
- Lower operating and maintenance costs. New, longer life products require less periodic maintenance and extend the time between re-lamp expenses. Longer lifespans and reliability save additional money in difficult to service spaces that require time and equipment to access. Include lighting controls during installation to better predict future maintenance needs.
