Efficient Lighting

According to the U.S. Government's Energy Star Web Site, lighting consumes approximately 35% of the electricity used in commercial buildings in the U.S. and effects other building systems through its electrical requirements and the waste heat that the lights produce.

Upgrading lighting fixtures and controls can reduce energy consumption, improve the visual environment and have a positive effect on the sizing of HVAC and electrical systems. Lighting retrofit projects can cut the power usage in half while maintaining or improving light quality. Improved light quality can lead to improved workplace conditions promoting employee morale, increased production and quality control. These projects typically pay for themselves via energy savings within a few years.

Jarmel Kizel has formed a strategic alliance with Philips® to offer clients lighting audits and financial solutions for lighting modernization projects. At no obligation to the client, Jarmel Kizel can arrange for a lighting audit and financial analysis. Working with Philips®, Jarmel Kizel can typically develop a financing strategy that pays for itself out of the energy savings within a three- to five-year period, with little or no out of pocket expenditure by the client.
