Lighting Energy Audit Commercial & Industrial LED Retrofit Assessment

 Stop Guessing. Start Measuring.


If your building still operates outdated fluorescent, HID, T12, T8, metal halide, or high-pressure sodium lighting, you are almost certainly overspending on energy and maintenance.

A professional Lighting Energy Audit gives you real numbers — not estimates — showing exactly how much money your facility is losing every month and how fast an LED upgrade will pay for itself.


What Is a Commercial Lighting Energy Audit?


A lighting energy audit is a detailed, on-site evaluation of your existing lighting system designed to measure:


  • Current wattage consumption
     
  • Fixture counts and types
     
  • Lumen output performance
     
  • Lighting distribution and shadowing
     
  • Maintenance frequency and costs
     
  • Utility rate impact
     
  • Potential rebate eligibility
     
  • Projected energy reduction percentage
     
  • True ROI timeline
     

This is not a “quick walkthrough.”
This is a data-driven efficiency assessment.

Who Needs a Lighting Energy Audit?

Lighting audits are ideal for:


  • Warehouses
     
  • Manufacturing facilities
     
  • Distribution centers
     
  • Office buildings
     
  • Retail centers
     
  • Medical facilities
     
  • Schools
     
  • Municipal buildings
     
  • Parking garages
     
  • Commercial property portfolios
     

If your ceilings are 15 feet or higher and you’re running metal halide or fluorescent high bays — your ROI is likely significant.


The Real Cost of Outdated Lighting


Most commercial buildings are losing money in three major areas:


1. Excessive Energy Consumption


Older lighting systems draw far more wattage than modern LED fixtures.


Example:


  • 400W metal halide high bay
     
  • Replaced with 150W LED high bay
     
  • 62% wattage reduction immediately
     

Multiply that by 50–200 fixtures running 10–16 hours per day.

The numbers add up fast.

2. Maintenance & Lift Costs

Older systems require:


  • Bulb replacements
     
  • Ballast replacements
     
  • Lift rentals
     
  • Downtime during replacement
     

LED systems eliminate most of this for 5–10+ years.

3. Poor Light Quality & Liability Risk

Dim lighting creates:


  • Safety hazards
     
  • Reduced forklift visibility
     
  • Increased accident risk
     
  • Lower productivity
     
  • Security camera issues
     
  • Slip-and-fall exposure
     

Lighting affects operations more than most owners realize.

Our Lighting Energy Audit Process

We follow a structured 5-phase system:

Phase 1 – Facility Lighting Survey

We document:


  • Fixture counts
     
  • Mounting heights
     
  • Wattage per fixture
     
  • Fixture type (HID, T8, T12, etc.)
     
  • Control systems
     
  • Electrical panel load
     

Every fixture is accounted for.

Phase 2 – Energy Usage Analysis

We calculate:

  • Current kWh usage
     
  • Annual lighting energy cost
     
  • Operating hours
     
  • Load contribution to peak demand
     

This produces a real baseline.

Phase 3 – LED Retrofit Modeling

We design:

  • Correct lumen output per space
     
  • Proper beam angles
     
  • Light uniformity ratios
     
  • Wattage reduction strategy
     
  • Photometric layout (if required)
     

Not all LEDs are equal. Proper engineering matters.

Phase 4 – ROI & Payback Analysis

You receive:

  • Total project cost
     
  • Estimated utility rebates
     
  • Annual energy savings
     
  • Maintenance savings
     
  • Simple payback period
     
  • 5-year savings projection
     
  • 10-year net savings
     

No fluff. Just financial clarity.

Phase 5 – Implementation Plan

If approved, we provide:

  • Installation schedule
     
  • Phased upgrade options
     
  • Minimal disruption workflow
     
  • Project management

Why Work With a Professional Lighting Contractor?

 Many suppliers will “sell fixtures.”

We engineer lighting systems.

The difference:

Lighting is not just about brightness — it’s about operational efficiency.

Utility Rebates & Incentives

Many utility providers offer substantial rebates for LED retrofits.

Our audit includes:

  • Rebate eligibility screening
     
  • Incentive calculation
     
  • Documentation assistance
     
  • Submission coordination
     

In many cases, rebates significantly reduce upfront investment.

Lighting Audit FAQ

How long does a lighting audit take?
Most commercial facilities take 1–3 hours depending on size.

Does the audit disrupt operations?
No. We work around your schedule.

Is there a cost?
Many audits are complimentary for qualified facilities.

What if we cannot upgrade everything at once?
We can phase the project over time.

Upgrade Your Lighting with Data, Not Assumptions

Energy costs are rising.
Maintenance labor is expensive.
Fluorescent systems are being phased out.

A lighting energy audit provides clarity and control.

If you operate a warehouse, manufacturing facility, or commercial building, this may be one of the highest ROI improvements available.
