V. Profile of Services — Firm and Team Experience <br />Most facilities have lighting systems that were Installed based predominately on 'lowest upfront costs" versus <br />1118 -cycle costs." While this might help make a building fess expensive to build, these systems are generally <br />very inefficient and expensive to operate, Over time, many facilities have upgraded their lighting systems to <br />newer, more efficient systems that, at one time, featured the latest and greatest fluorescent lighting technology. <br />These systems offered energy saving Improlvements overlhe old system, but they still had a relatively short <br />rated life and required expensive maintenance. <br />The greatnews is that Ilghting technology has advanced rapidly in the past few years, New solid-state LED <br />fighting, together with innovative sensors and controls, make for a no-brdiner improvement at almost every <br />facility. Dramatic product price drops combined with extreme advances in Industry technology allow most <br />facilities to find a lighting solution that actually for itself. The economics of a new LED lighting solution has <br />reached the point where walling for further advancements actually decreases the potential lifetime savings, The <br />biggestohallenge for most customers is navigating all of the possible solutions to find the best lighting system <br />fortheirfacllity, Making an Incorrect decision can lead to sacrificed light levels or low•qualitylights that were <br />cheap to purchase, but expensive to maintain in the long nm. <br />With over 10;000 projects under our bah, we know fighting —thaPs all we do, Our award-winning team can <br />analyze your facility and prepare a:proposal that will give you a state4-the-art lighting system that Is designed <br />for maximized energy savings, the absolute longest life, and improvedlIghting levels for your facility, Our step- <br />by-step process for reaching this goal Is described below. <br />A. Audit Services <br />The service we provide frequently begins with an energy audit of the facility. This service. includes the <br />following: <br />• One of our experienced lighting auditors visits the site and conducts a physical inspection of the facility. <br />The accuracy.and compfatenessofthe.infonnation.collected during this phase is crucial to assist our <br />design team in developing accurate energy calculations and scope of work. <br />• The facility type and utility program may determine specific auditing guidelines, but Inmost cases the <br />following information is collected during the audit phase: <br />o Itemized counts of all existing fixture types and wattages <br />o Pictures of each fixture and lamp types for existing fixtures <br />o Equipment requirements for safe Installation (ladders, lifts, etc.) <br />o Electrical company, current kWh rate, and demand charges <br />o Existing lighting controls, dimming, and emergency backup systems <br />o Current and projected operating hours for each area to be upgraded <br />o Any additional pertinent information noticed during the audft— this may vary from building to <br />building <br />• Finally, our auditors will consult with representatives from the facility to determine the cilenfs goals and <br />expectations, We. will educate the client on diverse options and capabilities of the latest in LED Lighting <br />technology. <br />Ea.f�azrsr R�rez®Fir �. <br />2501-65 <br />
