significant operational dollars in wasted energy, usually 2-3x
more than a current efficient LED lighting system.

| Increased cost of frequent maintenance |
Outdated lighting systems also have a much higher maintenance
costs which can be as much as 10x the maintenance costs of an
updated efficient system. New updated systems virtually have
little or no maintenance for up 10-15 yrs.

Low light levels from old lighting systems often cause
significant safety and productivity issue for customers
|
Uneven light distribution and poor color rendering of
antiquated lighting make it very difficult for workers to
see what they are doing, let alone see any hazards that
could result in injury.
Poor lighting also creates fatigue and drowsiness which not
only impacts working productivity and morale (show light
flickering/ someone who is tired or rubbing their forehead)
Poor lighting has been identified as the leading cause of
slip, trip and fall as well as contact with objects and
equipment.

| Indoor air quality |
Indoor pollution sources that release gases or particles into
the air are the primary cause of indoor air quality problems.
Inadequate ventilation can increase indoor pollutant levels by
not bringing in enough outdoor air to dilute emissions from
indoor sources and by not carrying indoor air pollutants out
of the area.

HVAC units themselves would be preventive maintenance and

|
Very rusty units means age, wear and tear, rust, and can cause
damage. This damage can result in the need for costly repairs
and higher energy consumption and can impact the usefulness of
the building and productivity of its occupants. Any chemicals
used in maintaining the equipment needs Safety Data Sheets
(SDS).
