How We Make It Happen
Lighting is viewed as the #1 opportunity to improve energy efficiency!
It is estimated that 33%-50% of an entity's energy usage is associated with lighting. In the case of an air conditioned facility, where heat generated from lighting increases the energy demand associated with cooling, these numbers increase. Typically, efficiencies are lost due to over lamping required to compensate for depreciation, outdated lighting technology and fixtures and lighting of unoccupied spaced.
DCI's products and services are uniquely positioned to significantly reduce energy consumption related to lighting and to provide our clients with a better lighting environment for their customers and employees. In addition to the energy efficiency gains, DCI's clients also experience significant reduction in maintenance and replacement cost as our fixtures last 3 to 10 times longer than standard Metal Halide or florescent fixtures and our warranties provide 5 to 10 years of coverage.
