The largest use of energy in warehouses comes from lighting and temperature control. By reducing energy in these two areas, you can dramatically reduce both your energy costs and your GHG emissions.
Why put LED lighting in your warehouse?
- Energy savings
Reduce your energy costs while being more environmentally friendly. - Long lifetime
Especially in warehouses with high ceilings, changing light bulbs is not always a simple task. LEDs last significantly longer than other types of lighting, so not only will you save money on the lights themselves, but there will be fewer calls to your service people to install new ones. - Durable
LEDs are shatterproof, resistant to shock, and are not affected by heat and cold in the same way that other types of lighting are. - Instant Light
LEDs come to full brightness instantly, unlike HID (High-Intensity Discharge) lighting which can take a while to warm up. - Cool
Unlike other forms of lighting, LEDs do not get as hot as traditional high bay fixtures which makes them ideal for refrigerated warehouses or any other area that needs to be kept cool. - Silent
Fluorescent lights and HID’s can hum and actually get quite noisy when the ballasts start to fail. LEDs are silent. - Lighting improvement
LEDs provide better quality lighting than HID or fluorescent lights do. This means less eye strain, improved safety and a better quality work environment
Temperature Control
Unlike lighting upgrades, temperature control in warehouses is often not as simple as a retrofit. There are however a number of things that you can do to reduce energy usage in this area including:
- HVAC maintenance and/or upgrade – If you have an older HVAC system, it may not be as energy efficient as it could be. Keeping up with regular maintenance and following up on recommended repairs, will help keep the system at its peak efficiency.
- Consider flexible hours – In the summer, warehouse temperatures are often at their most comfortable in the morning and in the evening. During the middle of the day, the AC must work hard using a fair bit of energy to keep the place cool. Likewise, in the winter the most comfortable time would be the middle of the day and the heating system will have to work harder in the morning and evenings. If feasible, consider having summer and winter hours that help you optimize savings from your HVAC system.
