We are living in a time when people are trying either making the most of what they have or find cheaper improvements. Businesses are looking for innovative ways to cut their operating costs and achieve a solid bottom line through cost-effective means. One way they can save both money and energy is by changing to fluorescent high bay lighting in their facilities.
Fluorescent high bay fixtures are designed for commercial, industrial and retail buildings to replace the older HID fixtures. This newer measure is more energy efficient and had better color rendering to help improve both the lighting quality and energy usage in buildings. This can help facilities to help improve the environment and save operating costs at the same time.
Lighting costs make up a substantial amount of a commercial building’s electricity budget, so they want to find ways to reduce these costs. When commercial businesses upgrade their lighting technology to include energy efficiency, they are maximizing their energy usage.
Saving money is the name of the game for businesses, and energy savings is a great way to do that. There are state rebate programs that encourage companies to make the switch to improved equipment measure, such as lighting. South Dakota’s Otter Tail Power Company encourages commercial businesses to go green through their rebate program.
Otter Tail Power’s Commercial Energy Efficiency Program offers incentives for all of its commercial customers in South Dakota to upgrade their equipment to energy saving measures. The Lighting project specifically focuses on providing incentives to companies who switch to energy efficient equipment, such as high bay fluorescent lighting. Commercial businesses can get 20 cents per watt of demand reduction through this lighting retrofit program. For more information about Otter Tail Energy’s energy efficient program at: www.otpco.com.
