Our lighting upgrade audits provide an in-depth look at your current lighting system.  We

• Count and identify the type of fixtures that are
  currently in every room and area of the facility.

• Provide wattage information and light level
  data showing over or under illumination in
  every area of the facility.

• Identify areas that need new fixture design or simple retrofits.

• Provide before and after wattage per fixture type, and the annual savings of each type.

Our energy audits determine what lighting fixtures will best suit your needs. We provide a comprehensive break down of current lighting fixtures, the lighting fixtures we recommend, and the expected savings on energy costs to you after implementation of new energy efficient lighting fixtures.

By doing a thorough audit of the facility it is not unusual to estimate energy savings at well over 50% of the kW used and give you a much brighter and healthier facility.

• Obtain an accurate representation of the existing ballast & lamp types; room, fixture and fixture placement measurements; light levels; and an accounting of other related existing conditions such as wall, floor and ceiling colors (to establish reflectance estimates where an increase or decrease in existing light levels may be recommended) and any pre-existing damage to surfaces, rugs, lenses, etc.

• Recommend appropriate preliminary "go to" measures. This information provides a baseline for the project design work.

• Define baselines for existing and proposed annual hours of use. This includes interviews with building managers, maintenance people and users. It often results in engineered improvements that would not be obvious with a simple audit.

• Reconcile the lighting annual usage with the facility’s total electricity usage. LCRS has established guidelines for most building types.

• Measure the actual RMS watts of a fair sample of the existing circuits.

• LCRS's experienced sales people, engineers and project managers are available to discuss your specific lighting needs. Request a lighting audit. We will show you how to cut costs, boost profits and enhance your working environment.

Audit Cost
 

A complete audit costs 3 cents a square foot, plus travel expenses. The cost for an audit will be quickly made up in energy cost savings if the suggestions are implemented.
