Take Control
Use occupancy sensors to turn on your lights only when needed. Indoor motion sensors are great in areas that are used intermittently throughout the day, such as washrooms, meeting rooms and kitchens. Outdoor motion sensors placed around the exterior of your business add convenience and increased security. You can save up to 40% on lighting energy costs when you install occupancy sensors and get a takeCHARGE rebate.
Control exterior lighting by installing timers or photocells. These ensure the outside lighting isn’t accidently left on during the day.
De-lamp
Many business spaces are over lit. Not only is this inefficient, but it makes for an uncomfortable work space. Removal of lamps or fixtures can provide higher employee comfort and productivity. You can contact a lighting designer to ensure lighting levels meet the Workers Compensation Board standards.
Save with the Sun
Keep blinds open on nice days so the sun can light and warm your business.
Lights Off
Encourage employees to turn off lights when not in use and when leaving the office.
