Essential Guide to Lighting Retrofits & Upgrades

September 22, 2014
Essential Guide to Lighting Retrofits & Upgrades

Rising utility costs are affecting businesses everywhere, yet energy consumption has been steadily increasing in commercial buildings. Energy consumption by commercial buildings grew 69% from 1980 to 2009, and it is estimated to grow another 22% from 2009 to 2035 according to business research analysts from IBISWorld. This is causing a rapid increase in the drive toward energy efficiency.

At a time when commercial lighting systems account for over 50% of the total electricity used for lighting – retrofits and upgrades that allow lighting systems to use energy more efficiently are an obvious place to start.
