Letting natural daylight brighten your indoor and outdoor spaces, especially during months when it is light out for longer, significantly reduces your lighting energy consumption. This eco-friendly approach helps lower your electricity bills and reduces your carbon footprint, making it a win-win for both your wallet and the environment.
Simple Steps to Optimize Daylight Use
- Assess Your Lighting Needs:
- Identify areas with ample daylight, such as open outdoor spaces or indoor areas with windows, skylights, and glass doors.
- Identify areas needing artificial lighting, such as heavily shaded outdoor spaces or indoor areas without exterior access points.
- Consider Window Upgrades: If your indoor commercial space lacks energy-efficient windows, consider adding or upgrading them.
- Upgrade to LED Lights: LED lights are much more energy-efficient compared to traditional bulbs, often saving 75% in electricity costs.
- Add Daylight Detecting Smart Sensors: These sensors adjust lighting based on natural light levels, ensuring optimal brightness.
Benefits of Daylight Detecting Smart Sensors

- Automatic Adjustments: Sensors detect natural light and adjust artificial light output accordingly to keep brightness consistent throughout the day.
- Energy Savings: Save up to 50% or more on your lighting energy bills.
- Low Maintenance: Once installed, they require minimal maintenance.
Cost Savings with Advanced Lighting Controls
Integrating advanced lighting controls with HVAC systems can significantly reduce energy consumption. In commercial properties that already have energy-efficient LEDs, networked lighting controls can cut LED energy use by over 50% and overall building energy use by 5-10%. These energy efficiency measures can lead to substantial savings and long-term benefits for property owners.
In many states, the fixture and labor costs of adding these controls can be heavily offset by available rebate (to encourage widespread adoption). By leveraging incentives and energy efficiency programs, commercial property owners can easily achieve significant savings and contribute to broader environmental goals.
