High Efficiency Common Area Lighting

One way to prevent high utility bills is to avoid unnecessary expenses in the first place. You may not control how your tenants use lighting inside their unit, but you can control the type of lighting used in all common areas. Energy Trust offers cash incentives for lighting retrofits in common areas such as parking lots, porches, exit signs, hallways and laundry rooms.

Payback on energy efficient common area lighting projects is surprisingly fast. When cash incentives are combined with Oregon state tax credits, common area lighting retrofits can pay for themselves in less than one year. It’s a smart investment.

Once you or your contractor provide simple project details, we can generate an estimate showing your dollar and electrical savings along with approximate payback time. Call us today to find out how effortless this option really is.

Consider this:

• Energy efficient lighting uses as much as sixty-six percent less energy while producing the same amount of illumination as standard bulbs.
• Energy efficient fixtures use between twenty and thirty percent less energy than standard fixtures.
• Energy efficient lighting, including compact florescent tubes and bulbs, last up to ten times longer than standard options resulting in fewer trips up the ladder for you or your maintenance crew.
• New technologies have eliminated the flicker and hum of previous energy efficient lighting options making the switch invisible to residents.
• Common area lighting projects result in immediate savings and aren’t intrusive to residents.
• Retain existing residents and impress new ones by showing you’re making strides to save energy on your property.
