Q: What other kinds of upgrades can we do to our lighting?

The other side of lighting upgrades is reducing how often the lights are on. This kind of upgrade can exist at multiple levels of implementation: Encouraging users to turn off the lights when they leave a room Add dimmer switches to provide an appropriate amount of lighting. With LED lights, the effect of dimming lights to power use is fairly linear. Program the lighting system onto timers and/ or occupancy sensors. This ensures that energy is only being used at appropriate times / when there is someone using the facility.

Q: Will switching to LEDs affect the color/appearance of our facility?

While early versions of LED did tend to have a blue tint, modern LEDs are now being designed on the Kelvin scale. On this scale bulbs with a low number give off a warmer light (yellowish), while bulbs with high number give off a cooler light (blueish) so you don’t have to worry about the effect on appearance.

Q: How does getting an Energy Audit to benefit my community league?

The information obtained from an energy audit is used to identify opportunities to improve efficiency, decrease energy costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. The measures outlined by an Energy Audit make community league halls easier to operate, cheaper to maintain and also increase the comfort of those using the facility. Energy audits also verify the effectiveness of Energy Management Opportunities that have already been implemented within a facility.
