Overview: As the price of energy climbs and the specter of deregulated energy looms large in many states today, property managers around the country are considering the benefits of retrofitting their facilities with energy-efficient indoor and outdoor lighting. Given the new technologies available for commercial and industrial lighting, an installation that might have seemed perfect five years ago could be wasting a lot of energy today. Every facility that has not yet optimized energy conservation in lighting installations can benefit from a retrofit with energy-efficient lighting products (lamps, fixtures, and controls) or using those elements in new construction. Indeed, energy costs account for about 86 percent of the life cycle cost of lighting. The balance is a result of fixture maintenance and the purchase of the fixture. Opportunities for quick and long-term payback abound for both indoor and outdoor lighting.
