Understanding the Benefits of EPAct

Benefits of the Commercial Buildings Deduction aren’t just for building owners. The U.S. government will curb the energy crisis by reducing the national electrical demand by an estimated 312 million watts. Plus, the nation will breath easier when an estimated 10 million metric tons of carbon emissions is removed from our environment.

Of course, commercial building owners will see reductions in operating costs and increases in profitability and competitiveness when they invest in the highest levels of energy-efficient lighting. Energy-efficient lighting generates an average project payback period of 2.2 years and a 45% return on investment. Lighting is generally considered the easiest, most profitable investment in energy-saving building systems.
