S&H provides turnkey lighting and energy conservation project management services to Florida 's leading commercial, industrial, institutional and governmental organizations.
Invite an S&H Energy Services specialist to visit your facility and assess your business' energy savings opportunities. Our energy audit will recommend the latest in energy efficient technologies to help you reap the most savings from your investment. We typically cut our clients' lighting bills by 60%.
A lighting retrofit begins with an expert facility-wide audit of all existing lighting systems. After our preliminary meeting, we will schedule a technical audit that will identify each and every lighting fixture in your facility, by building and room number.
Our inspection will include all areas of your building including closets, storage areas, and restrooms. The following information is recorded for each fixture type found in each area:
- Location description· Annual hours of operation (lights)
Fixture quantity· Fixture type (lamps/ballasts)
Light measurements in representative areas are taken.
Retrofit strategy is determined at a Technical Review meeting with the facility manager/plant manager.
- Controls Strategy – Will occupancy sensors be cost effective?
- Additional Energy Conservation Measures – Identified and discussed.
Technical issues and decisions regarding retrofit strategies are discussed in detail at this meeting. S&H will recommend the most energy efficient retrofit taking into consideration cost, pay back, energy savings, resultant light levels and lighting quality, as well as issues relating to future maintenance of the recommended equipment. In many cases it is possible to reduce the number of lamps in a fixture, by installing a mirror-like reflector, repositioning the new energy efficient lamps and installing a solid-state electronic ballast in place of the older magnetic ballast. Once the specific needs of your facility are agreed upon, S&H will prepare and present a detailed analysis of your facility's lighting equipment that will include kW before and after; kWh based on hours of operation in each room and area; a description of existing equipment and the proposed retrofit; the projected energy savings based upon your actual cost of electricity, including demand and energy charges and utility and sales taxes on electricity purchases; a calculation of projected maintenance savings; the capital cost and utility rebate and the net cost and first year pay back calculation. Arrangements are then made for test installations, if necessary, which will include light measurements before and after and selection of lamp type and color (there are many to choose from). |
