Philips Lightolier Launches Lighting Audit and Upgrade Program

Philips recently announced a commercial energy audit and lighting upgrade program aimed at replacing inefficient lighting systems currently found in 85% of existing buildings.

A key element to the program, being led by the Philips Lightolier Energy Services Group, is a guarantee that the energy audit will deliver measurable energy cost reduction, defined projected return on investment, and itemized economic payback, among other benefits.

Philips takes a holistic responsibility from inception to completion of the entire upgrade process–from initial site analysis, to selection and installation of sustainable lighting solutions, to the paperwork required for tax and utility incentives. It’s also differentiated by a contractually-guaranteed economic payback and an extensive portfolio of high-quality lighting options that suit virtually every application.

“The majority of existing building space was completed before 1986, and yet tremendous strides have been achieved in energy-saving lighting methods since that time, but especially in the last five years,” said Zia Eftekhar, CEO, Philips Lightolier Group. “At the same time, building owners are being impacted by an ever-growing number of government regulations, energy codes, tax incentives and utility rebates that either encourage or require the use of more efficient sources.”

The Philips Lightolier Energy Services Group has established a strategic alliance with firms that specialize in various aspects of services offered, including its electrical wholesale distributor partners. The services offered by the program include:

• A lighting energy analysis of the facility
• Benchmarking of the current lighting system performance
• An investment-grade audit
• Selection of sustainable lighting systems and controls
• Implementation of lighting system retrofits and/or replacements
• Lamp replacement and maintenance
• Qualification for tax and utility incentives
• Measurement of results for guaranteed payback
• ENERGY STAR benchmarking to qualify for the label
