SOLUTIONS for ENERGY SAVINGS
A Full Range of Solutions
Lighting is a major source of power consumption. WESCO’s lighting partners can provide a complete audit of your facility to identify where you are using too much power, and how you can lower your lighting requirements without sacrificing workforce productivity. We can also help you specify the best, most efficient lighting products for each application. Our suppliers combine advanced product design, software, and innovative techniques, such as daylight harvesting and remote monitoring capability, to create a total facility-wide lighting power reduction strategy. Not only that, we can introduce you to low mercury level lamp technology to bring down your cost of complying with lamp disposal requirements. Wiring Devices is a product category that offers a wealth of energy saving solutions. Inexpensive, easily installed equipment can make a real difference. Advanced dimmers, timers, ballasts, and occupancy sensors are simple, but highly effective ways to further lower lighting costs—both inside and outside a facility. WESCO can suggest solutions that provide the proper output per fixture or per lamp, plus dimming during peak daylight hours. Other WESCO solutions provide light only when areas are in use, or maximum power only when required by safety considerations. Switchgear-related solutions such as power monitoring, combined with advanced power control software, can provide facilities managers with the information they need to initiate system-wide load shedding and load leveling programs. These programs can significantly decrease power requirements without lowering overall production efficiency. Remote monitoring of energy processes ensures that energy consumption policy is maintained—and in retail environments ensures that sales personnel cannot select inappropriate heating or cooling temperatures or leave the lights on overnight. In manufacturing environments, these controls turn off lights or lower heating and cooling temperatures during non-business hours. In addition, installation of energy efficient (low temperature rise) or NEMA TP-1 Energy Star distribution transformers may offer additional energy savings due to their reduced load losses. More efficient Motors, Drives, and Motor Starters can make a major energysaving difference on the factory floor. Many industrial motors require massive amounts of energy as they start and re-start. Using energy-efficient motor starters minimizes the spike in energy generated with these starts. Switching out obsolete or incorrectly applied motors and drives will also dramatically reduce energy use.
Today, the need to conserve energy is becoming more and more critical as national and local regulations combine with higher costs to put new constraints on profits. WESCO has a full range of solutions to help you reduce energy consumption and improve your bottom line.

Quick Fix Energy Savings from WESCO
The need to conserve energy while complying with expanding regulatory activity is becoming more urgent today than ever before. Luckily, many of the most effective energy reduction solutions involve simple product installations or substitutions. Here’s where WESCO can help. WESCO provides the right products to help you meet these new challenges— lowering your basic energy costs and providing effective ways of meeting government regulations.
Dramatically Lower Energy Costs Throughout Your Facility with WESCO Product and Service Solutions
Energy Saving Solutions
Switching from energy-intensive exterior lighting such as High Pressure Sodium to Pulse Start Metal Halide lamps with matching fixtures and ballasts can yield major savings — up to $130 per fixture per year, depending on the application. That’s real savings. Now add motion detectors, timers, and photocells to cut down on unnecessary burn time and you have real savings that go directly to the bottom line. Many energy-efficient lamp/fixture/ballast solutions exist for factory and warehouse applications. More efficient lamps. New, light-maximizing fixtures. Advanced, efficient ballasts. Savings can amount to over $100 per fixture per year, depending on what is replaced and the overall lighting strategy. Combine advanced lighting solutions with occupancy sensors and other advanced lighting controls, and you can make a substantial impact in your lighting expenses. On the factory floor, efficient motors and advanced soft-start motor starters can dramatically decrease energy spikes and overall energy consumption by reducing power draw when starting motors. A significant added benefit of using these new starters is the increased service life of the motors and associated components, which require less frequent repair and replacement. Advanced switchgear can provide facility-wide power monitoring to give you the ability to adjust your overall power consumption, shifting power-hungry processes to level the load across your entire facility. Switching from incandescent or T-12 fluorescent lamps, high-spread reflectors, and energy-saving ballasts can give you savings of more than $80 per fixture per year without detrimental impact on worker productivity. Specialized sensors and dimmers, such as occupancy and graphic eye sensors, can turn off lighting when no one is around as well as harvest daylight, tailoring power levels to the ambient light provided by the sun.
There’s savings opportunities throughout your locations. Let WESCO help you find them.
When it comes to energy costs, the simplest product replacements can make a major positive impact on your bottom line. Take lighting — here’s just two examples: In office environments, changing from fixtures using four T12 lamps with magnetic ballasts to fixtures using four T8 lamps with electronic ballasts can save $33 per year per fixture.
Taking the Next Step: WESCO-Sourced Services
Beyond supplying a comprehensive range of power-efficient products, WESCO can work with you to conduct audits to identify when, where, and how much power your facilities are consuming. These audits measure overall or specific function energy consumption, identify outdated technology, and yield suggestions for lowest energy cost. Armed with this knowledge, you can systematically drive down your energy consumption system-wide. These services include:
q
In high ceiling environments, switching from 400-watt high pressure sodium lamps to 350-watt pulse-start halide lamps can save $58 per fixture per year.
Facility-wide energy audits to identify and measure your facility’s total energy consumption profile. These audits can yield a complete power monitoring and system-wide energy reduction strategy, including hardware and software solutions to give you the ability to centrally monitor your company’s energy use and generate the data you need to systematically lower your energy costs. Lighting audits to identify the most efficient lighting solution for every application at your facility. This service also includes turnkey relamping for fast fixture, ballast, and lamp conversion and resulting bottom line savings. Advanced hazardous material recycling services that provide technology and procedures that are safe, effective, and meet the requirements of all applicable EPA and local environmental requirements.
