RETROFIT LIGHTING & CONTROLS SOLUTIONS
Automotive Dealerships
The Challenge and the Opportunity
There are over 17,000 automotive dealerships in North America
and on average, they use up to 18% more energy annually than
a typical commercial building. Consuming $1.9 billion dollars
in energy costs annually, lighting can represent up to 45% of
those costs as dealerships emphasize marketing their inventory
and differentiating their dealership from the competition.
Dealership profits in 2011 averaged just 2.3% meaning that a
lighting retrofit that can reduce energy use while maintaining
the quality of light you demand to highlight your dealership can
make a meaningful impact on your profits.
In the example below, a dealership with an industry average
of $110,000 in annual energy costs (45% attributed to lighting),
conducts a lighting retrofit that results in a 60% reduction
in lighting costs. That savings could translate to a 4% increase
in earnings.
