Why form a Lighting Strategy

ESPC Energy Efficiency Strategy Service uses a simple, flexible and scalable multi-level approach to planning (EE) activates to fit your company’s budget and goals. We focus our strategy on lighting and supporting technologies since this provide the greatest returns, lowest investment and are the easiest projects to successfully complete.

The Multi-Level Strategy creates a Lighting Architecture that is business scalable or driven by changes to local regulations. The strategy is not a collection of randomly installed devices but a well laid out plan to meet business objectives. 

Great examples of business drivers for reducing facility operating cost are; California Title 24, LEED Certification, ASHRAE 90.1, EnergyStar Benchmarking, Demand Response or competition greening their buildings.



What Savings Level provide

Introducing a leveling strategy that is phased saves money and reduce risk. Each level provide a subset of savings that when aggregated can reduce electrical cost up to 70%.

A simple lighting upgrade may reduce cost up to 30% so the remaining 40% comes though adding smart intelligence controls and a strategy to get there. Below are savings that can be realized based on each level.

 Level Review:

• Level 1: Standalone Smart Control with networking options
• Level 2: Smart Controls / Sensors that gather intelligence
• Level 3: Controls linked as system to a local hub or panels
• Level 4: Multi-location management with internet interface
• Level 5: Exterior management for parking and garages.
