This year marks the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day, April 22nd.  Your everyday choices not only affect energy use, but the overall environment.  In accordance to this, Aelux LLC is proud to recycle on all projects in accordance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandates and supports/promotes energy efficiency best practices.

Earth Day Network states that, “Earth Day 2010 can be a turning point to advance climate policy, energy efficiency, renewable energy and green jobs.”  Support in the effort to help the environment by joining an earth day campaign.

What are some actions you can take?

  • Recycle
  • Transportation
  • Lighting (specifically lighting retrofitting)*
  • AC & Heat

*Lighting retrofitting not only benefits the company’s financial costs, but the environment and economy.  By reducing the demand for energy there is a less dependence on oil, coal and nuclear power (Efficient Lighting Corporation, 2008).

Taking action

Over the past few years the popularity of energy efficiency programs have increased.  47 states have now enrolled in energy efficiency lighting rebates & incentive programs (attardimarketing.com).  Aelux LLC provides services in lighting retrofitting, with a complimentary lighting audit.  An Aelux lighting specialist will compile a full analysis of your facility and recommend a plan of action
