With energy upgrades, the benei ts go far beyond lower utility bills. Here,
Pacii c Power helps you uncover ways that investing in energy ei ciency can
pay of .
1. Better customer experience. Lighting and HVAC upgrades can enhance
the appearance of your business and create a more comfortable atmo-
sphere. Customers stay longer, spend more money and come back more
ot en.
2. Higher productivity. A Carnegie Mellon University study found energy-
saving measures resulted in individual productivity improvements of 10
to 15 percent.
3. Improved product quality. High ei ciency lights typically increase light
output and enhance color quality. Benei ts include less waste, lower
rework costs and higher customer satisfaction.
4. Healthier indoor environment. Energy-saving improvements, such as
natural ventilation and daylighting, can improve indoor air quality and
enhance the overall work environment.
5. Safer workplace. Brighter lighting and more uniform light distribution can
reduce the chance of a mishap.
Pacii c Power teams up with Energy Trust of Oregon to of er services and
incentives for energy ei ciency improvements. Before starting your project,
call Energy Trust at 1-866-368-7878 or visit Pacii c Power at bewattsmart.
