EXAMPLE ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECTFACILITY LIGHTING
SIMPLE ONE FOR ONE REPLACEMENT• No change in light levels• No repositioning• No interaction with other controls• Often a single fixture type
Example Result– Spend $200,000– Save $80,000 per year– 2 ½ year payback
ENGINEERED UPGRADE• Correct light levels for the task• New fixture locations where appropriate• Occupancy/daylight/total building controls• New fixtures to meet new needs• Lighting simulation study
Example Result– Spend $350,000– Save $180,000 per year– 1.9 year payback
TWO PATHS TO FOLLOW
The Engineered Upgrade saves $100,000 more per year(Equals additional profits from $3 million in new sales)

EXAMPLE ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECTFACILITY LIGHTING
SIMPLE LIGHTING CHANGE OUT
• May overlook the best utility rebates• May overlook the latest tax treatment• May overlook the opportunity to
redesign• May overlook the latest technology, or
spend too long researching
ENGINEERED SOLUTION
• Up on the latest technology, tried and proven
• Maximize utility rebates• Maximize tax benefits• May offer several options for redesign,
each with superior financials• Be sure to choose a qualified resource
TWO PATHS TO FOLLOW
THIS GETS EVEN MORE COMPLICATED WHEN YOU GO BEYOND LIGHTING.
