Take lighting retrofits to the next level with Advanced Networked Lighting Controls
Are you leveraging the benefits of Advanced Networked Lighting Controls for your customers’ projects? If you aren’t familiar with ANLC, these systems connect individual lighting fixtures together through a digital network which enables centralized management and automation to improve energy efficiency.
Key benefits of ANLC:
Increased lifespan of new LED fixtures
Reduced heat stress on LED fixtures
Advanced control and customization
Real-time monitoring and data analytics
Improved energy savings – lowering energy bills
When you propose ANLC to your customers, you offer them an optimal solution to reduce energy consumption and, in most cases, improve their projects’ simple payback.
Let’s take a look at a recent California project where ANLC resulted in a faster return on investment and will provide operational savings to the customer for years to come. While presenting the savings calculations of switching to LEDs to the project’s facility director, the vendor learned that the expensive and timely process of maintenance was another factor that prompted the lighting upgrade. The vendor recognized an opportunity to provide expert guidance and proposed two options to the customer.
Although there were additional upfront costs associated with ANLC, there were also additional incentives . The facility director saw the value in the additional $3,300 annual savings and is extremely pleased with end result.
For a limited time, Washington customers can get a bonus incentive of approximately 10% for select lighting upgrades.
Bonuses are applied before project-level incentive caps. An incentive offer is required to be eligible for bonus funds, and bonus incentive funding is subject to availability.
Bonus deadlines and the full terms and conditions are available on the Pacific Power website and may be modified at any time.
Actual bonus will be determined based on final project submittals.
