LED Lighting Has a Short Payback Period Even when dealing exclusively with energy efficiency, it is important to plan the order in which different measures will be deployed. In many cases, the best starting point is to upgrade the existing lighting to LED technology because go light led upgrade has a short payback period. Before… Continue reading LED Lighting Has a Short Payback Period
The correlated color temperature (CCT) is used to describe the color of lighting produced by a lamp or luminaire. LED Lighting Color Temperature has nothing to do with the actual temperature at which the lamp operates; it rather describes the temperature to which you would have to heat a black body in order to make it… Continue reading Importance of LED Lighting Color Temperature
Decorative Commercial Outdoor Lighting fixtures has been extremely successful over the past few years. According to market research by Goldman Sachs, LED lighting technology went from having only 1% of the lighting market in 2010 to around 28% in 2015, and is expected to hold a market share of over 95% by 2025. In most cases,… Continue reading Energy Savings of LED Lighting vs Traditional Legacy Lighting Fixtures
Future Potential of Energy Efficiency When it comes to evaluating the future of LED lighting, there are two solutions to consider: one solution is upgrading the power generation mix with cleaner energy sources; and, the second solution is to use energy more efficiently, reducing the need for expansions in generation capacity. These two approaches are… Continue reading Future Potential of Energy Efficiency
Energy Efficiency Costs Less A recent study by ACEEE (American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy) shows that energy efficiency costs less; a cost lower than any other new electricity resource option. What does that mean? Well, frankly, we are trending toward a day when there will not be enough capacity to provide electricity to everyone,… Continue reading Energy Efficiency Costs Less
As the global community pays increasingly more attention to the finite nature of fossil fuel deposits, sustainable energy solutions for generating power are growing in popularity.
I’m always amazed at how many new clients we bring on-board that are not only unaware of the important steps in procuring utility rebates, but are completely unaware that utility-based rebates are available for their energy efficiency projects. Many times, they have completed projects that include energy conservation measures (ECM’s) in-house or had their local… Continue reading 5 Important Steps in Procuring Utility Rebates
On June 2, the EPA and President Barack Obama released a proposal that will set the first-ever national carbon pollution standards limits for existing U.S. power plants. Is this move all about politics or is this simply the right thing to do?
Energy Star for Architects and Designers – A Tool to Set Them Apart from Competition Architects and designers who are looking at setting themselves apart from their competitors may find a highly recognized logo added to their plans will do just that – using Energy Star as a Tool for Architects. The EPA reports these… Continue reading Energy Star for Architects
