REDUCE Facilities ENERGY USAGE

You can take control of your city and government facilities energy consumption with GenPro Energy. Energy costs have historically risen year over year. Knowing that you will continue pay higher costs to use electricity, GenPro Energy has the solutions to help your facilities reduce their energy costs. Help the overall bottom line by reducing the amount you spend each month while keeping your building’s running optimally.

Scroll down to explore the many different ways that GenPro can help your business reduce energy consumption and costs.

Low or High-Pressure Sodium Lights

Municipalities have traditionally installed low and high-pressure sodium lights that are high-intensity gas discharge (HID) bulbs since the 1970’s, because of their low initial investment costs. As of recently, municipalities are making the switch to the more efficient and cost-saving LED lights.  Municipalities are saving not only on energy costs but maintenance costs as well since they can last up to 10 times longer.  Not only do you save money switching to the LED street lights, you also see improved color rendering, making everything clearer and more distinguishable.

Improved Visibility

Improved nighttime visibility and safety through better color rendering, more uniform lighting distributions and the elimination of many dark areas between poles. This creates safer streets for motorists and pedestrians.

Reduce Uplight

Reduced direct and reflected uplight which are the primary causes of urban sky glow. Besides the benefits of reducing urban sky glow, the light is directed where needed which will decrease the amount of power needed even more.

Up to 80% Savings

Even with the increased light, the city will see up to 80% energy savings on the lighting bill when the switch to LEDs is made. An added bonus of LEDs is their lifespan, cities can see up to 75% in savings for street lighting maintenance from the reduced need to replace and maintain the new fixtures.

How can GenPro help reduce your energy costs?

NO MAINTENANCE LIGHTING

Once installed, you shouldn’t have to think about changing a light bulb again. At 10 hours usage per day, LEDs have an average 10-13 year lifespan. After using an LED bulb for 50,000 hours they only lose a certain portion of their luminescence and do not burn out completely like other bulbs do.

LEDs work extremely well in cold temperatures and are made with durable circuitry so you’ll rarely break a bulb. GenPro has multiple warranty programs available ranging from 5-10 years, so if you find a bulb goes out prior to its warranty date, we will replace and install a new one at no charge to you.

Variable Frequency Drives

VFDs (Variable Frequency Drives) are energy savings products that match the amount of work or load on a motor to the amount of energy it needs to power that amount of work. By doing this you are reducing excess energy from being wasted. Nearly half of the electricity usage in commercial buildings is used to move air and water. A VFD is a great solution to save energy in this area.

Many motors that are used to move air and water are designed to deal with your peak loads, which can be generally oversized. A VFD allows you to run that motor at the load it needs to be instead of running it at peak load all the time. The VFD also includes the ability for a built-in soft start capability. Combining these two advantages are going to guarantee your business energy savings while extending the life of the motor.

Peak Shaving

Peak shaving is the ability to control your electricity costs during periods of heavy electricity use. For commercial and industrial (C&I) customers, the peak demand charges can be substantial — up to 70% of the customer’s utility bill. The most cost-effective solution to reduce these charges is peak shaving.

By adding on-site power generation you can save your business every time the energy rates are peaking. By adding solar PV and/or energy storage you can increase available power without creating increased demand. The advantage of utilizing solar and/or energy storage is their capability to dispatch power quickly with ease of control.

Controls

Controls are one of the most effective ways to save energy and money within commercial buildings. Nearly $100B is spent globally on lighting commercial buildings each year. Much of that energy is wasted by lighting being left on in unoccupied rooms and by being over lit.

There are many options when considering energy reducing controls. Technology has evolved to move beyond the stand-alone occupancy-based products, to provide true system-level control over lighting, the results can produce tremendous savings, better occupant comfort, and improved building management. Contact GenPro to see all control options.

k-12 School Energy Efficiency

LED lighting for K-12 Schools and universities

Lighting accounts for roughly 50% of an average school’s electricity bill, so it’s no surprise that more schools are making the switch to LED. School’s that have made the switch to LED have reduced their lighting bill on average by 60%. To increase savings even further, many schools have motion control sensors in classrooms and offices installed.

community energy efficiency

Energy Efficiency for Community Facilities

With community LED lighting you can avoid light pollution with the precise definition that LED light can provide to your football field. LED lighting offers a consistent light level across the football playing field that ensures clear visibility of the ball, lines and players due to its daylight color temperature.
