THE LOWDOWN ON LED RETROFITS Calculating ROI Anything you can do to control energy costs gives your organization a competitive advan- tage. LEDs impact energy usage in several ways. There are many factors to consider when calculating the full return on your LED lighting retroft investment: • The reduction in lighting energy usage – the typical LED lamp saves between 50 percent and 90 percent as compared to other lighting options. • The impact of LEDs on the HVAC system – they don't give off as much heat as fuorescents, so cool- ing loads may be reduced. • The reduced frequency of lamp replacement – including labor costs (necessary lighting maintenance can be reduced to nearly zero for the next several years). • Rebates offered by local utilities – ENERGYSTAR.GOV can tell you what types of offers are available in your area. • Incentives at the state and local government levels – ENERGY. GOV lists tax credits, rebates, and savings available by state. • The increase in effciency – LEDs emit light downward vs. the 360-de- gree light pattern emitted by fuores- cent bulbs, which illuminates more than the intended target. When you select the right lighting ret- roft option for your facility, your LED sys- tem already is well on its way to providing several years of savings and quality perfor- mance. This makes it extremely worthwhile to say "yes" to LED lighting.
