When you are considering how to start “going green,” look up. Those lights above you can account for up to as much as sixty percent of the electricity and energy usage in your building. A concept as simple as changing a light bulb can create a world of difference. The US government’s “Energy Star” program states that, “If every American home replaced just one light bulb with an ENERGY STAR qualified bulb, we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year, more than $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars.” That’s one simple step we can all take to make a difference, and this is where The Retrofit Companies can help get you going down a path of conservation, energy efficiency and greening your facility.

What is Retrofit?

What exactly is a “Retrofit?” In our business a retrofit or “lighting upgrade” is the process of evaluating the current lighting technology in your facility, and designing a system that performs most efficiently for the work applications in your building; such as manufacturing, educational or office space. Each of these applications requires a different type and quality of light. TRC works closely with our clients and utility companies to achieve the most attractive, functional lighting system which also achieves maximum energy savings.
