by Ann Withanee — October 24, 2011—With a wide array of rebate opportunities available in the marketplace, MaxLite established a National Commercial Lighting Incentive Resource (NCLIR) as a major initiative that informs commercial facilities, contractors and distributors of the multitude of energy-efficient lighting incentives that yield cash incentives.
In recent years, many utility services have expanded to serve increased populations, without building new power plants. To sustain their power output and retain efficiency, utilities have begun rewarding lighting suppliers that manufacture products that reduce energy consumption and costs, while at the same time delivering equal or greater lighting quality.
Working closely with these electric power companies, MaxLite, a global manufacturer and marketer of energy efficient luminaires and lamps, established the National Commercial Lighting Incentive Resource to coordinate efforts among facilities, electrical contractors and distributors to identify lighting projects and energy efficient solutions that reduce energy costs and generate utility rebates.
MaxLite’s Incentive Resource builds awareness for the many cash incentives available, drives business through distributors, and facilitates reimbursement for customers for using energy-efficient lighting,” said Barry Young, who serves as Commercial Utility Program Coordinator and heads up the Incentive Center. “We develop product packages for Prescriptive Rebate Programs that specify the exact types of fixtures and savings needed, as well as the specific number of fixtures required to retrofit each project. In addition, we have the capability to create custom solutions that comply with Custom Rebate Programs requiring unique energy-efficient lighting specifications.”
