RETROFIT LIGHTING & CONTROLS SOLUTIONS
Commercial Buildings
The Challenge and the Opportunity
Commercial buildings represent over 80 billion square feet of
space in the United States and consume 36% of all electricity
making them one of the largest generators of Greenhouse gases
in the world. With studies showing over 36% of energy usage
being wasted and lighting representing up to 30% of a typical
building’s energy usage, an energy efficient lighting retrofit can
represent one of the best ways for a building owner or manager
to reduce costs. In fact, for a property management company, a
well executed lighting retrofit that reduces energy usage by 60%
can raise NOI by up to 3% while also improving property values
and attractiveness to potential clients.

Improving Profitability
A energy efficient lighting upgrade can provide benefits
beyond energy savings. Other areas of benefit include:
Improving Property Values
More efficient buildings that generate greater income can
also provide a higher valuation.
Improving Rental Income and Reducing Vacancy Rates
A lighting retrofit program that is a part of helping a
building receive green certification can increase income.
Certified Green Buildings:
RENTAL INCOME
+7%
OCCUPANCY
+4.5%
Improving Productivity
Studies have long shown that improved lighting can
directly impact worker productivity. While a good
lighting retrofit can improve productivity from 3-25%,
a lighting retrofit that increases glare or reduces light
levels too much can quickly eliminate all of the savings in
productivity losses.
