Canny facilities managers are contributing to their enterprises bottom line by retrofitting existing high wattage lights with modern low power, high lumen options. This is giving budget savings, often within the same financial year and boosting profitability thereafter.
A good sample I’ve seen is in the Sunday times of 22/2/09 where Crown paints in Dublin save €40k by simply managing their use of lights better. Similar savings are achieved by installing retrofit kits to replace older fluorescents lights with more modern T5 lamps. This is a very cheap way to expoit latest technology without replacing the fittings. No electrician required in most cases and savings are made immediately. 30%-50% power savings on lighting are reported by clients of Energy Sense Ireland .
Right now with a big focus on cost reduction it is a painless and fast way to cut costs . Worth adding to any facilities managers toolkit.
I know i have used the product SAVE IT EASY from Energy Sense Ireland it is great to use.
