Lighting Solutions
- Optimizing energy consumption is a key objective for businesses, healthcare facilities, and multi-family structures looking to reduce their electricity bills. One of the most straightforward and cost-effective approaches to achieve this is through energy-efficient lighting.

Utility Bill Auditing
Water, sewer, gas and electric bills contain a litany of complex rates, tariffs, riders and various billing structures. Trying to maintain and decipher the never-ending maze of fees and charges requires years of utility experience. Finding consumption irregularities, billing errors, classification mistakes or available exemptions is virtually impossible… unless you know what to look for.
GreenLight has years of utility experience and they put them to work for you. Their simplified proprietary auditing process can result in retroactive refunds and ongoing savings totaling up to 15% of annual utility costs. These opportunities are available nationwide in a variety of forms, predicated on business location, type of utility use, facility function and other variables. They are intimately familiar with local ordinances, laws and the latest regulatory updates… and are experts at reading the fine print.
Here’s the best part: their approach requires minimal customer intervention. GreenLight works directly with the utility company, securing necessary documentation and data to complete a thorough audit and negotiate adjustments. GreenLight eliminates any concern by offering our services on a contingency basis. In other words, there is no risk to the client. If they don’t find a quantifiable opportunity, there is no charge to you.
Water Conservation
Units Retrofitted to date: 311,552
Water is typically wasted one drop at a time, but invariably adds up to significant costs.
GreenLight’s Water Conservation Division begins with an audit and on-site assessment (as necessary) of each client’s water usage history, as well as the efficiency of their fixtures and systems. A typical case in point, is faucets with high flow-rates. Most sinks are equipped with 2 gallon-per-minute faucets, while this may be ideal for a custodian filling a bucket, it is overkill for an individual washing his hands. Such oversights can result in tens or hundreds of thousands of gallons wasted annually depending on the quantity of fixtures and the average usage. In addition to water costs, inefficient plumbing systems increase fuel costs as well, as more energy is wasted on heating domestic hot water. Inefficient toilet fixtures, or leaking toilet components, are another leading cause of wasted water. Upon completion of the water conservation installation, the Water Conservation team presents a comprehensive and user friendly report with a detailed description of the inefficiencies that were remedied. These remedies often include structural plumbing modifications and installation of water-efficient fixtures. GreenLight manufactures water-efficient fixtures that are engineered to provide the perfect balance of comfort and velocity while realizing savings.
GreenLight’s in-house staff provides the necessary modifications as per the client’s request.
After completion of the project, GreenLight offers follow-up monitoring of utility bills to determine that savings are being realized, and to alert clients of any irregularities that may develop.
