The Goodwill network across the country is aiming to go as green as possible. This effort began with a significant lighting upgrade for Goodwill Industries of Northeast Iowa. The 70,000 square feet were once lit with dingy fluorescent and metal halide fixtures. Today, all spaces have crisp, clear and reliable LED illumination. A great feature for the warehouse staff is having the lights on motion sensors. This capitalizes on further energy reduction and provides light on an as-needed basis. The upgraded lighting is projected to cut 100,009 kWh of usage annually, amounting to over $8,600 of annual savings from more energy efficient lighting.

Riley's Floors| Waterloo, Iowa
"Our building was only 7 years old when we were having trouble with the ballasts in some of our light fixtures. Jacob Wittmayer happened to call on us and showed us the benefits of LED lights. After outlining the savings in electricity and getting a third project bonus rebate, it just seemed like a no brainer.
Before we signed on to do the project, Efficient Technologies installed two sample color temperatures so we could get the right light effect for our flooring samples. Lighting is important in showing the colors of all flooring carpet, wood and tile. Riley’s is a service oriented company and Efficient Technologies was the same way.
Jacob and Seth were very easy to work with and thoroughly explained anything I did not understand. They took care of all our needs. Seth was on site with the electricians and worked around our customers and time frame. Initially, we did not have enough light in the warehouse and they replaced the whole fixture at no cost to Riley’s. Upon project completion, Efficient Technologies handled all the rebate paperwork on our behalf.
We do not have to change our lighting for the next 10 years. I have already told several people about the great job Efficient Technologies did and the savings we will receive. They were a great benefit to Riley’s."
