Compared to incandescent bulbs, ENERGY STAR® certified LED lighting uses up to 90% less energy and lasts up to 25 times longer —  that’s up to 15,000 hours — which reduces your maintenance costs. LEDs also generate less heat, which is especially important when keeping your employees and customers comfortable.  

Adding or upgrading exterior lighting to LEDs will improve visibility through better color rendering and uniform light distribution. Whether it’s early morning or late at night, this increases safety for your employees and customers. Plus, exterior LEDs help reduce carbon emissions and light pollution.

Occupancy sensors are used to detect motion and provide a response by turning lights or HVAC equipment on or off within your space. Tip: Position wall sensors on the same wall as the door so that the sensor can only “see” the area intended to be controlled and not an alternate space outside of the door.  

LED case lights use less wattage than linear fluorescent lighting, distribute light more evenly and provide better color rendering of the product you have displayed. These lights also reduce the amount of heat introduced into the case, reducing compressor runtime and preserving your products. 

Upgrading to electric hand dryers may have a higher up-front cost than paper towel dispensers, but typically outweigh paper towel in terms of long-term cost savings and maintenance. Plus, energy-efficient hand dryers use 88% less energy than traditional hand dryers and dry hands up to three times faster. 

HVAC systems generally account for up to 51% of a building’s energy use. Maintaining your HVAC can increase efficiency, reduce unplanned downtime and make your space more comfortable for your employees and customers.
