Increased demand for improved energy efficiency within the commercial property sector is generating heightened demand and healthy sales growth for led high bay light because of the system’s capability to reduce lighting use and energy costs at a faster rate than other environmental measures,” said Mocherniak.

Offering a payback-on-investment period of two to five years, ECS also enhances a building’s ability to achieve U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certification by contributing between 12 and 18 points, depending on the specific application and other factors. It also contributes in four of six categories, including sustainable sites, energy, indoor environmental quality, and innovation in design. In addition, ECS can facilitate a building’s compliance with ASHRAE 90.1, EPAct, Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, and various utility rebate programs.

Encelium’s strategic expansion includes partnering with companies throughout the United States, Canada and Europe that share its commitment to environmental stewardship. The company and its partners are currently targeting projects in cities, states and countries with mandates to convert existing buildings to more energy-efficient, led linear high bay light lighting systems. One such example is New York City, where plans include converting aging PCB fluorescent-lighting fixtures in its 772 public-school buildings to a safer, more sustainable lighting and building control system.
