On-site Energy Audit

Our first step in any retrofit is performing a free, comprehensive on-site energy audit of your current lighting system. In this process, we’ll measure precise light levels, fixture counts, and lighting technology to establish a baseline.

Review Audit Findings

Following the audit, we’ll sit down with you to review our findings and review where you can most benefit from a retrofit. We will discuss your overall business goals, operational needs, and potential obstacles to develop a plan.

Incentive Management

Our in-house incentives team will work directly with your power provider to collect any potential incentive programs available to help fund your project!

Project Management

Your dedicated PM will take care of every aspect of the installation process — from ordering materials to managing the installation team — ensuring the retrofit runs smoothly, on time, and progress is communicated through the process.

Post Project Support

Our team will be there for you every step of the way, and we won’t leave you hanging if any issues occur following your installation. We will also coordinate the post-project inspection, and handle any potential warranty claims that come up down the road.

Fixtures, optics, and designs that maximize impact

The days of guesswork are over.

We apply a thorough, calculated process to each LED retrofit — allowing you to “try before you buy” and see your ROI before committing to a project. Here’s how:

  1. On-site energy audits: each project begins with an on-site assessment of your facility. During this process, we record fixture type, wattage, current light levels, and more.
  2. Photometric design plans: Following the audit, a PEC sales engineer will build your new system in heat mapping & 3D-modeling software, allowing you to see before and after results.
  3. High-performance fixtures: As a vendor agnostic solution provider, we can source the fixtures on the market that best meet your goals, and present a number of options and walk you through the pros and cons of each.   

Client Success Story

Daltile transforms showroom floor in Sterling, VA facility

Daltile, the country’s leading manufacturer and distributor of ceramic tile, porcelain tile & natural stone, was having challenges with their existing lighting system casting a yellowish tint over their merchandised products, creating misaligned expectations with customers.

See how PEC was able to help them transition to an upgraded LED system that puts their product in the best light, helping the vibrant whites and intricate details of their material shine through.

Daltile now has a standard for lighting — with PEC helping them scale LED retrofits in 36 projects across 22 states!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an LED retrofit?

An LED retrofit is a replacement of existing inefficient lighting fixtures with energy efficient LED (with or without control systems).

While seemingly straight forward at its core, a one-for-one bulb swap will not maximize efficiency and can even cause some major headaches if done improperly.

That’s why it’s critical to work with an experience LED retrofit contractor like PEC, where we will design a system leveraging the best fixtures, optics, sensors and control systems to help our clients access the maximum amount of efficiency while also making huge improvements to the overall lighting quality in their facilities. Learn more on this page about our LED retrofit services.

What is a commercial energy audit?

To complete a thorough audit of your space, a PEC Sales Engineer will perform an on-site evaluation of your facility and work with you to determine:

  • The total number of fixtures and fixture types, their locations, heights, and how they are controlled.
  • Ceiling structure and height.
  • The building’s usages and existing light levels (measured by foot candles).
  • Areas of importance to your business in order to design optimal lighting specific to your needs.

In addition to assessing your current lighting system, we will also evaluate the environmental conditions of your space like airflow, dust, moisture levels, temperature, chemicals, and indoor/outdoor spaces to help us design an efficiency solution for your unique needs.

How much does an energy audit cost?

Energy audits are a no charge benefit of working with PEC. We perform on-site audits as part of our sales process to help customers determine if a lighting upgrade is a good investment decision.

Please note that PEC will only perform audits for commercial spaces.

What are energy incentives?

Energy incentives are rebates that utility providers across the US will grant businesses to help them fund energy efficiency projects. As a ratepayer, your company is likely already paying into your utility’s energy efficiency program fund.

Navigating the world of incentives can be a complex process, and funds will vary greatly from state to state. PEC is proud to offer a team of in-house incentive experts to help each of our customers capture that maximum funds available to them — so you can enjoy this benefit without the hassle.

  4. Incentive management: Your project may qualify for funding through your utility provider’s incentive program. Our team of in experts will handle this entire process for you.
