I wouldn't know where to begin ... How about a briefing!

Project definition encompasses five basic considerations:

	1. The Initial Survey (FREE) Review past energy conservation efforts, Outline Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) planned or underway Establish minimum return-on-investment requirements Establish areas which have too much or too little light Review any existing maintenance problem areas Outline and schedule the process from walk-through to implementation Verify any utility rebate opportunities Review financing options
	2. Preliminary Assessment (FREE) Complete a facility walk-through Confirm hours of operation by area Obtain 12 months of utility bills Review replacement technologies relative to existing equipment Review economics of replacement options relative to ROI requirements
	3. Investment Grade Audit (Two cents per sq. foot + Out of pocket expenses) Complete room-by-room lighting inventory Measure existing light levels Install occupancy monitoring equipment where appropriate Evaluate existing aesthetic and/or light-level concerns Choose systems offering optimal performance and energy savings Detail areas where custom designed fixtures may offer an opportunity Financially oriented management report.
The financially oriented management report -- this is where we tell you EXACTLY how much you will save ... right down to the penny!	It all adds up!
	4. Project Implementation (Contract Delineation) Complete pre-construction meeting to determine contacts, schedules, security, safety, access, work hours and material staging Begin installation, project tracking (via Microsoft Project) and weekly construction meetings, and periodic hazardous waste pickups
	5. Project Closeout (Included in Contract) Complete project punch list, final waste pickups and as-built drawings Measure and verify light levels and savings Provide warranty documentation

Rather than doing a project piecemeal, the best approach is a turn-key solution. Why? Over the years, we find that cutting a corner here or there can result in losses that offset whatever is saved, if anything.

Mixed-vendor responsibility can lead to finger-pointing and lack of control. Our best projects are the one's in which we take full responsibility.

Our reputation for performing is established and we put all that on the line ... on every project.

Through the turn-key approach Smart Lighting Inc. takes responsibility for all phases of the project and the customer retains go-ahead approval control at each project step.

An added bonus as to how SLI's experience works for you is that we can compare your facility's consumption with similar facilities ... is there a competitive business advantage to be gained?

To determine your actual savings potential, project costs and bottom-line financials requires # 3, an Investment Grade Audit.

Out with the old! In with the new!

We know where to find it!
