Best practices for lighting systems include using T5 fluorescent lamps and LEDs instead of incandescent bulbs, and using electronic ballasts instead of magnetic ballasts. Solar lighting systems provide an environmentally sustainable option for rural areas with no grid access.
Energy One Incorporated is an energy efficiency solutions distributor that specializes in commercial and industrial energy efficiency technologies like advanced lighting, solar PV, solar hot water, and wind power generation products. It has a portfolio of over 10,000 products and claims to be able to provide customers with payback periods of less than three years. Energy One leverages its experience in lighting to deliver customer energy retrofits with quick payback and incorporates complementary technologies when practical. It serves markets like restaurants, offices, manufacturing, and more with tailored solutions.
Office buildings account for over 30% of total commercial building energy use. Schneider Electric delivers energy management expertise to help optimize energy consumption in office buildings. Their solutions can improve building operation and cut energy use by up to 50 kWh/m2 per year, enabling some buildings to achieve zero energy consumption. Tracking and analyzing energy use data is key to identifying savings opportunities and optimizing building energy efficiency over time.
