Warehousing Solutions
Warehousing is a
business with razor-thin margins. Daylighting is a single upgrade that will cut
costs while improving the working space.

The A-1 Cold Storage warehouse in Los Angeles, California.
The SunTracker creates such an efficient lighting
environment that the electric lighting shut off the majority of the working day.

Reduced Operating Costs
Approximately 86% of electricity in traditional buildings is dedicated
to lights, fans and cooling. The Department of Energy says daylighting can
reduce energy use in lighted buildings by 75 - 80%. The reported energy cost
savings have ranged from 50 - 93%. With "green" issues now becoming tangible
topics, tax incentives and subsidies are becoming increasingly available form
utilities and governments.
Incorporating daylighting into new construction can actually lower other initial
cap costs due to a smaller electrical load and a smaller number of electrical
lighting fixtures to maintain. Factor in the reduction of the size and cost of
HVAC operations plus maintenance costs and daylighting becomes an easy choice to
make.
