A lighting retrofit can certainly help to plug this drain. Read how a leading branded food company gained an annual energy savings of $10,633 and reduced their carbon footprint by 82 tons with a warehouse lighting retrofit.
Thinking you are in the clear if you consume less than the average commercial building – that may not be the case.
