PRE-QUALIFICATIONFor those responsible for
facilities management or energy management for
their companies lighting system, there usually
can be similar questions or concerns.
Griffith Energy Team has compiled a few questions
and answers to help with basic understanding of
the benefits of a lighting retrofit

• A facility data base with facility IDs,
  addresses, square footage, utility
  information/consumption, age, date of last
  remodel, lease dates, etc. is all very helpful.
  Most of this data probably resides in one or more
  databases already and just needs to be accessed
  and or consolidated.
• Contact an experienced lighting professional and
  exchange ideas on the types of opportunities that
  may exist within your facilities. Use your
  preliminary facility data at this stage to help
  triage some of the opportunities discussed so you
  may focus more quickly on the things that will
  have the greatest merit for your company. This
  step is often referred to as the
  pre-qualification step.
• Working with your lighting professional and using
  facility drawings or data from site visits,
  develop preliminary project estimates (costs,
  savings, impacts to lighting, etc). This will
  provide an early on indication of what the
  results of a program will be. This will help
  manage expectations and provides an early
  indicator of whether or not the program has a
  chance to meet corporate objectives. It also
  provides a sanity check for goals and objectives
  that may have been unreasonably set or may be in
  conflict with one another (i.e. Light Levels vs.
  Savings).
• Take the preliminary findings to management and
  determine what level of buy in you have for
  moving forward and then plan accordingly. Most
  often the ability to move forward from is
  contingent on doing a pathfinder installation.
  This may be accomplished by completing and entire
  facility or by just doing and installation in a
  selected test area or in the case of lighting
  maintenance, implementing a maintenance pilot
  program. Pathfinders provide an initial proof of
  concept and can often generate additional
  momentum to the project if the expectations are
  met. If you get the desired buy in, select a
  vendor partner and begin developing and executing
  a detailed implementation plan.
• Finally, the information compiled in the
  qualifying stages can determine if your needs can
  be met by a lighting retrofit. As you will see in
  the preliminary consultation, no retrofit is too
  big or too small for the Griffith Energy
  consultants and their list of qualified
  contractors.

WHO CAN BENEFIT?

• Facilities with an abundance of fluorescent
  fixtures in a standard T12 configuration
• Facilities with HID high/low bays with 3500
  annual operating hours
• Facilities that have areas with infrequent use
• Facilities with outdoor lighting areas that are
  poorly lit or over lit with HPS and have
  surveillance cameras in use
• Updated Facilities can also benefit from new lamp
  technologies
