In the average office building, 35% of the energy consumption is directly related to lighting. Often times in older buildings, the use of T12 Fluorescent lamps is very common. T12 Fluorescent lighting is not only extremely inefficient, but is being phased out by the United States Department of Energy as of 2013.
Both LED lighting and T8 Fluorescent lighting technologies are solid solutions for retrofitting T12 fixtures, as well as for new build projects. T8fluorescent lighting is a great low-cost solution for retrofitting existing T12 fixtures. The T8 fluorescents will consume approximately 50% less energy than T12 with up to twice the life expectancy.
LED fixtures are another great lighting solution for office buildings. Whether your project is a retrofit or new build, LED fixtures will consume approximately 70% less energy than T12 fluorescents with a minimum life expectancy of 50,000 hours. In addition, you will not experience any color shifting over the life of the LED fixtures as you will with fluorescent lighting. Your employees can enjoy smooth consistent light throughout the workday, improving production while avoiding fluorescent-headaches.
