Four reasons LED retrofits improve facility performance.
LED retrofits are among the fastest-return energy upgrades in commercial and industrial facilities — reducing electricity consumption, lowering maintenance requirements, and improving operational visibility across the building.
Reduce lighting electricity consumption immediately.
Modern LED systems significantly lower lighting energy use while improving operational efficiency across the facility.
Reduce fixture failures and maintenance interruptions.
Commercial LED fixtures last significantly longer than HID and fluorescent systems, reducing replacement and labor costs.
Improve lighting quality across critical work areas.
Uniform lighting improves visibility, safety, and working conditions in production, warehousing, and loading environments.
Lower project cost through available programs.
Utility incentives and lighting controls can significantly improve project economics and shorten payback periods.
Green Integrations designs and manages commercial LED retrofit projects for manufacturing, warehousing, food processing, agriculture, and commercial facilities across Canada — including lighting design, incentive support, installation coordination, and long-term performance planning. The objective is simple: reduce operating costs, improve facility performance, and create measurable ROI with minimal operational disruption.

LED lighting retrofit at a food manufacturing facility in Ancaster, Ontario — replacing legacy lighting across production and support areas, qualifying for saveONenergy incentives.
Food manufacturing · Ancaster, ON · 1770 Fiddlers Green Road. Production and support areas operating on extended schedules in a temperature-controlled food-safe environment.
Legacy lighting across large production areas contributing to high electricity consumption and elevated peak demand. Consistent lighting quality essential in a food manufacturing environment.
High-efficiency LED fixtures specified for food manufacturing applications — designed for consistent performance in a demanding operating environment with reduced maintenance requirements.
Qualified for saveONenergy Retrofit Incentive Program. Incentive calculated based on reductions in energy use and electrical demand. Documentation and submission managed by GI as part of project scope.
From lighting survey to incentive cheque.
Commercial LED retrofits require detailed planning, coordinated execution, and accurate incentive management. We handle the full process—from assessment and installation to incentive submission and payout support.
Survey
Existing fixtures are inventoried by type, quantity, wattage, and operating hours. The assessment identifies which replacements will deliver the highest energy and demand reductions and confirms eligibility under the saveONenergy Retrofit Incentive Program.
Specify
LED fixtures are specified by area — production floors, warehouses, offices, external. Photometric calculations confirm maintained illumination levels. Incentive application documentation is prepared in parallel with the design.
Install
Installation is sequenced around production schedules. Most commercial retrofits are completed area by area with no full operational shutdown required. Old fixtures are removed and disposed of, including lamp recycling.
Submit
Final incentive documentation is completed and submitted following installation. We manage the submission process, coordinate any required follow-ups, and remain involved until incentive payment is received.
Commercial lighting designed around how facilities operate.
Lighting requirements vary significantly across commercial and industrial facilities. Runtime hours, environmental conditions, maintenance access, visibility requirements, and operating schedules all shape how lighting systems should be designed and upgraded.
Warehousing & Logistics
Large operating windows and high-bay lighting systems create strong opportunities for LED retrofits, lighting controls, and operational energy reduction.
Distribution centres · Fulfillment hubs · Logistics facilities
Food & Beverage
Lighting systems in food facilities must support production visibility, sanitation requirements, and continuous operating schedules without disrupting operations.
Food processing · Beverage production · Packaging lines
Manufacturing
Production facilities benefit from upgraded lighting quality, reduced maintenance interruptions, and lower electrical operating costs across process areas.
Heavy manufacturing · Process equipment · Industrial production
Commercial Real Estate
Modern lighting systems improve building appearance, tenant comfort, and operating efficiency while supporting ESG and property modernization initiatives.
Office towers · Retail centres · Mixed-use properties
Hazardous Environments
Hazardous-location lighting upgrades improve reliability, visibility, and maintenance access in environments requiring explosion-proof or specialty-rated fixtures.
Oil & gas · Chemical processing · Dust-sensitive facilities
Cold Storage & Refrigeration
Cold storage facilities require lighting systems designed for refrigerated environments, long operating hours, and maintenance-sensitive applications.
Cold storage · Refrigerated logistics · Freezer facilities
Not sure where your facility fits? That's usually the right place to start a conversation. A 20-minute call is enough to map your lighting load against the right retrofit scope.
