V. Profile of Services — Firm and Team Experience <br />Most facilities have lighting systems that were Installed based predominately on "Iowast upfront costs,, versus <br />1110 -cycle costs," While this might help make a building less expensive to build, these systems are generally <br />very inefficient and expensive to operate. Overtime, many facilities have upgraded their lighting systems to <br />newer, more efficient systems that, atone time, featured the latest and greatest fluorescent lighting technology. <br />These systems offered energy saving improvemonts over the old system, but they still had a relatively shark <br />rated life and required oxpensive maintenance. <br />The greet news is that lighting technology has advanced rapidly in the past few years. Now solid-state LED <br />lighting, together with Innovative sensors and controls, make for a no•brainer 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 pays 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 />biggest challenge for most customers is navigating all of the possible solutions to find the best lighting system <br />for thelr faoility Making an Incorrect decision can lead to sacrificed light iovels or low -quality lights that were <br />Cheap to purchase, but expensive to maintain in the long run, <br />With over 10,000 projects under our belt, we know lighting -that's all we do, Our award-winning team can <br />analyze your facility and prepare a proposal that will give you a stote,of-the-art lighting system that is designed <br />for maximized energy savings, tfle absolute longest life, and improved lighting levels for your facility, Ourstep- <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 compietaness of the. informationcollected during this phase is crucial to &slat 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 in most 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 />a Electrical company, current kWh rate, and demand charges <br />o Existing lighting controls, dimming, and emergency baokup systems <br />o Current and prolooted operating hours for each area to be upgraded <br />cs Any additional, pertinent Information noticed during the -audit - this may vary from building to <br />building <br />Finally, our auditors will consult with representatives from the facility to determine the cilencs goals and <br />expeotatlons, We. will educate the client on diverse options and capabilities of the latest in LED Lighting <br />technology. <br />xwmrs amyl; b'�,eA��aq.. <br />
