1 Energy-Efficient Lighting Solutions to Save

2 Lagoon Conservation: Who are we? Our Mission: To provide innovative green technologies that meet your sustainability goals all without compromising quality and performance. Consulting to improve sustainability We focus on lighting as the FIRST step Induction LED

3 Your Facility Things to Remember Why are you looking to upgrade? Decreasing energy consumption Safety concerns Company goals Saving Money Factors to Consider Maintenance costs What incentives are there? What is the cost of waiting?

4 What is Induction Lighting? Similar to a fluorescent lamp, an induction lamp uses mercury to excite a gas in the lamp to create a visible white light with the bulb s phosphor coating. Unlike fluorescent lamps, they do not use electrodes. Rather, a radio frequency excites the gas, creating visible light.

5 Why Choose Induction? Product has long life span Warranties up to 100,000 hours 11.4 years of continuous operation If on 10 hours/day, over 27 years of use Reduce energy costs No flickering Fixtures are 100% recyclable Helps with LEED certifications

6 Benefits of Induction Reduced Energy Consumption Energy costs can easily be cut by up to 50% Occupancy sensors Lamp operates consistently under various conditions Labor Savings Lifetime of over 10 years Labor costs and time can be re-directed

8 Continued Benefits of Induction Multi-Voltage application Can be installed into existing wiring Able to be installed where dirty power is present Absence of High Temperatures Reduces air conditioning and ventilation costs No Cool-Down Period Instant On / Hot Re-Strike Safer in emergency situations True Color Rendition Security Cameras

9 Direct Sunlight Shutter speed: 1/1250 ISO 80 f 4.0

10 Induction Light Shutter Speed: 1/60 ISO 200 f 2.8

11 Fluorescent Lighting Shutter Speed: 1/60 ISO 200 f 2.8

15 Life Cycle Costs 400 Watt HID Lighting 200 Watt Induction High Bay Total Hours for Installation Labor Costs $4,500 $4,500 Numer of Relamps in 10 years 5 0 Total Fixtures in 10 years year Labor Cost $22,500 $4,500 Ten Year Cost $127,620 $63,810

16 Installation Induction lighting is a very lightweight product Allows for easy, quick installation Less fatigue Remember, installation includes Rental of equipment and Maneuvering around current facility The fewer times you have to do this, the BETTER.

17 The Bigger Picture During Beginning Entire life cycle of Induction demonstrates sustainability Proven technology Savings in labor Recyclability End Whatever you choose, talk to a consultant to understand what you are getting.

18 More Savings: Incentives Rebates Up to 70% funding rebated to your project Custom grant programs Tax Incentives EPACT of 2005 Other deductions

19 Initial Costs: Maximizing ROI Price points of Induction and LED are higher than other common technologies Past several years has seen prices driven down by market demand Push from Utility Companies Significant incentives designed to HELP you save $$ Up to 70% rebate from initial spending

20 Rebates Who is your provider? PSE Snohomish PUD Seattle City Light Other Know them! Almost all projects require approval before ANY work is done.

21 Rebates Things to consider: Is there a list my new fixture needs to be on? (LDL, Energy Star, DLC) Other criteria to meet Amount of rebate will often change with energy savings If something is NOT on a list of approved rebates ask anyway.

22 Example Snohomish PUD Project Type Incentive Rate Tools Lighting Rebates Set dollar amount per item. Up to 70% of approved project cost, up to $15,000* PUD Lighting Workbook and click on Lighting Rebates Worksheets Custom Lighting Incentives Fixtures, Ballasts, Controls Incentive based on annual kwh savings; generally $0.20/kWh* PUD Lighting Workbook and click on Worksheets for Custom Lighting Projects in Existing Facilities Lighting for New Construction New Construction
