BARRIERS AND BENEFITS TO SOLAR UPTAKE IN BUSINESS

In order to better understand our region’s business perceptions of solar, Zero Emissions Noosa Inc commissioned The Social Deck to undertake research into the barriers and benefits of solar for business. This has helped us better understand how we can support our local businesses on the journey. As a result we will be providing a number of case studies on local business solar take up as well as a series of seminars focusing on the concerns raised in the barriers report.

LED LIGHTING

Increasing energy efficiency is also important for business and industry. Energy-saving light-emitting diodes (LED) lighting can positively transform our work environments and significantly cut the costs of lighting and maintenance.

If our work sites are using old lighting technology, chances are our energy bill is being impacted. LED bulbs use a fraction of the power of old lighting technology such as compact fluorescent or incandescent bulbs. Replacing inefficient lighting with LED lighting will mean we will use less power and pay less for it.
