Retrofitting outdated energy-guzzling lighting components with
green energy-saving alternatives is a process that promotes
sustainability and offers significant benefits for businesses,
contractors, and the community at large. Not only can retrofitting
improve the overall quality and functionality of light, it also can
make spaces safer, easier and less costly to maintain, and more
comfortable to inhabit. From lighting technology to retrofit
financial analysis, Lighting Retrofit and Relighting evaluates the
latest lighting system types, then demonstrates how to apply them
for the greatest functional and cost-saving benefit. This book:

Discusses the recent advances in lighting equipment and
retrofittable controls, for both interior and outdoor use
Explains how to do a lighting audit to identify and evaluate
logical retrofit choices
Includes case studies of retrofits, illustrating improvements in
the quality and efficacy of new lighting
Demonstrates how cost savings realized over time can not only
pay for new equipment but produce a return on the investment

Lighting Retrofit and Relighting serves as an ideal
reference for students or professionals--whether they are
energy auditors, designers, installers, facilities managers, or
manufacturers--by taking a close look at the most current
lighting technology illuminating pathways toward a brighter
future.
