Tap into the expertise of a PEC Sales Engineer to conduct a comprehensive energy assessment of your current lighting:
Outdated and inefficient lighting systems are often the lowest-hanging fruit for reducing carbon emissions and making huge improvements in your overall efficiency.
What could an LED retrofit save you annually? How can you improve the operational performance of your facility?
When answering these questions, guesswork is futile. Real efficiency improvements require a thorough measurement of your current and potential systems.
That’s why PEC has made energy audits an essential part of our proprietary approach to designing customized lighting solutions, so that you can optimize lighting where you need it, and not where you don’t.
Our Process:
Efficient and thorough energy audits without causing disruptions to your daily operations
Site Evaluation
Our team conducts a thorough evaluation of your site — compiling existing infrastructure data, measuring building dimensions, and performing a complete on-site analysis.
Energy review
We do a deep dive into your energy usage. By gathering intel on your current energy use we can build a clear picture of where waste lays in your facility. This data will be used to develop an energy-efficient proposal.
Lighting analysis
Our rigorous assessment includes light measurements and fixture counts to objectively evaluate the performance of your current system. By taking these readings and learning what you do we’ll gather a full understanding of how to meet your objectives.
Commercial and industrial facilities are some of the largest energy consumers on the grid. To manage electrical demand and encourage the adoption of efficient technologies, many utility companies provide specific programs that cover a portion of the cost (often a significant portion) of energy-saving projects.
However, these programs can be complex and challenging to navigate, resulting in hours of time spent researching programs
Your utility incentive should feel like a discount, not like a project of its own.
PEC is proud to offer a team of in-house incentive experts to help you take advantage of California incentive programs and save potentially thousands on your next project:
When auditing a project, the PEC Project Management Team measures past & present energy levels, confirms foot candles, fixture counts, mounting types, powering, and controls to ensure that the tailored lighting solution we propose improves the aesthetics, efficiency, and safety standards of your business

Efficiency Made Easy
The unsustainable demand for energy has caused the world to focus on some of the biggest energy consumers – commercial and industrial businesses.
This growing spotlight is building pressure to enhance sustainability initiatives meeting increased energy cost, regulations, and public pressure to reduce energy consumption.
At PEC, it is our mission to be your “easy button” for energy efficiency by providing you with turnkey lighting solutions unique for your business. We’ll help you by:
Our goal of an energy audit is to accurately document the energy usage of the existing lighting systems used throughout your facility, while gathering as much information as possible of how your space is used to determine lighting needs.
This includes an evaluation of any interior lighting (like warehouses or retail floors) and exterior lighting (i.g. parking lots).
To complete a thorough audit of your space, a PEC Sales Engineer will perform an on-site evaluation of your facility and work with you to determine:
In addition to assessing your current lighting system, we will also evaluate the environmental conditions of your space like airflow, dust, moisture levels, temperature, chemicals, and indoor/outdoor spaces to help us design an efficiency solution for your unique needs.
Energy audits are free when working with PEC! Please note that we do only audit commercial spaces — get started by filling out the form on this page to see if our auditing services make sense for your facility.
While PEC has secured incentives for our customers through over 10+ utility providers throughout California, some of the main utilities and programs we’ve worked with historically include:
Whoever your power provider is, PEC’s in-house team of energy incentive specialists have the connections and expertise to research the best utility incentives available for your energy efficiency project.
On-Bill Financing (OBF) is a no-interest financing option available to business customers & government agencies for qualifying energy efficiency projects
Through OBF, eligible customers can fund projects with a zero percent no-interest loan that is repaid through their monthly PG&E bill.
With On-Bill Financing available in California, this can be a great potential option to fund commercial energy efficiency retrofit projects without committing large amounts of upfront capital, helping companies with limited on-hand cash to take on energy efficiency projects.
Connect with PEC to learn more about OBF and how we can handle this process for you through our in-house energy incentive team!
An LED retrofit is a replacement of existing inefficient lighting fixtures with energy efficient LED (with or without control systems).
While seemingly straight forward at its core, a one-for-one bulb swap will not maximize efficiency and can even cause some major headaches if done improperly.
That’s why it’s critical to work with an experience LED retrofit contractor like PEC, where we will design a system leveraging the best fixtures, optics, sensors and control systems to help our clients access the maximum amount of efficiency while also making huge improvements to the overall lighting quality in their facilities.
