Can This Commercial Lighting Upgrade Qualify for Save on Energy Incentives?

Many commercial lighting retrofits in existing Ontario buildings can qualify for Save on Energy incentives. Standard LED upgrades such as troffers, linear ambient fixtures, recessed downlights, low bay and high bay fixtures, and qualifying occupancy or integrated controls are generally handled through the Instant Discounts Program, while networked lighting controls may still fit the Retrofit Program. Smaller businesses with 50 or fewer employees may also have access to the Small Business Program for eligible lighting upgrades.
