Cutting energy costs is essential to every commercial building manager in todays economy. Over 30 percent of energy in commercial buildings is wasted. By retrofitting existing buildings and planning new ones to be more efficient from the start, businesses can see a return on investment of up to 45 percent. Increased savings can be seen by using modern lighting control systems, such as intelligent control boards, occupancy sensors, manual and daylight activated dimmer switches, natural daylight sources, and time scheduling. The control systems can be stand-alone or fully integrated into a building-wide automation system. With full digital control, commands can be issued to specific sections of a facility. Such control systems can be automated or manual, and can assist in load-shedding practices which drive down energy usage during peak demand periods. Lighting alone accounts for more than 20% of the energy costs in most commercial buildings. In as little as 2 years, lighting upgrades can pay for themselves and even offer a significant return on investment. Graybar Hammond can assist in retrofitting and overhauling any existing buildings.
