Services Outline
IMPACT works off a mutual agreement
based on your commitment to reduce energy expenditures at your facility. Once the
potential for increased bottom-line profits becomes clear, we perform a lighting
system energy audit to document savings and improve lighting quality.
A complete evaluation of the existing lighting system is performed
before it can be upgraded. The first step in this process is an onsite energy audit
and survey, including a rate analysis of the facility billing history. Our onsite
facility survey/energy audit and rate analysis of your electric utility billing history
is a real-time assessment of your existing lighting system quality and efficiency.
This profile is necessary in order to baseline the lighting component of your current
electrical consumption and set criteria for developing an energy-efficient upgrade. (top)
From the lighting system energy audit a construction installation
schedule is designed using T8 and/or T5 lamps, electronic ballasts, conversion kits,
custom engineered reflector technology, areas for lighting controls, compact fluorescent
lamp (CFL) upgrades and Light Emitting Diode (LED) applications. The schedule is
the core of construction installation and serves to ensure that construction and
clean up in the area of contract operations proceeds with minimal interruption, and
provides a “punch list” to confirm project completion. (top)
When we and our customer “co-author” the decision to
have IMPACT perform the survey/energy audit, we deliver
an energy savings study identifying projected revenue improvements based on the design
of the most effective and efficient upgrade of your facility lighting system. (top)
Prior to initiating the actual lighting system upgrade, pre-retrofit
electrical readings are taken on existing lighting circuits and compared to the baseline
audit/survey calculations. These readings validate any assumptions we have made about
pre-retrofit energy consumption. Post-retrofit readings are made to document the
accuracy of the projected energy savings and consequently verify the actual increase
of your revenue stream by reducing electrical consumption. In addition, pre and post
retrofit light levels are measured to verify that existing light levels are maintained
or increased after the retrofit.(top)
As your lighting partner we identify the most cost effective solution
to the energy code compliance requirements affecting your facility. We strive to
develop lighting technology applications to save money in your retrofit procurement
and long-term energy bills.(top)
We locate incentive programs offered by utility companies rewarding
you for implementing energy-efficient lighting technologies. We process and register
your facility to receive financial benefits for reducing energy consumption and practicing
pollution prevention. (top)
Does your facility have adequate lighting in place (interior and
exterior) for alarm intrusion assessment by Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) and
human means? Does your existing lighting produce glare in your CCTV? Is your protective
lighting sufficient to permit detection, assessment and deterrence of intruders? IMPACT can
perform lighting security studies of your facility to improve your nighttime accessibility
requirements. (top)
Are there areas in your facility that require architectural, aesthetic,
accent, or task lighting?
Do you need lighting that stimulates the sense of sight? Let IMPACT introduce
you to the next dimension of light, style, and self-expression. (top)
IMPACT works with owners, general contractors,
architects, and engineers to recommend lighting plans that use less energy and therefore
contribute a reduced load to a facilities overall wiring system. (top)
Through our manufacturing plant here in the United States, we recommend as well as customize a full range of commercial, industrial, institutional,
healthcare, retail, and residential lighting components for delivery anywhere in
the world. (top)

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 includes a tax deduction for investments in “energy efficient commercial building property” designed to significantly reduce the heating, cooling, water heating, and interior lighting energy cost of new or existing commercial buildings. By improving the energy efficiency of your existing commercial buildings or designing high efficiency into new buildings you may be eligible for a tax deduction of up to $1.80 per square foot. To be eligible, the energy-efficient commercial building property—such as a state-of-the-art lighting system—must be placed in service between January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2013.
The person or organization that pays for construction, renovation or lease hold improvements is generally the recipient of the deduction. This is usually the facility owner, however for some HVAC or lighting efficiency projects, it can be the tenant. For government-owned buildings, the person (i.e. Architectural and Engineering firm) primarily responsible for designing the building or project may be able to claim the deduction.

Impact works with our customers to process EPACT Compliance Certifications required to receive tax credits, deductions and/or refunds for energy efficient conservation technologies.
Cost Segregation Assessments are an IRS approved method which began in 1997. It allows real estate investors to reclassify tangible personal property from real property and accelerate the depreciation of investment real estate property.
Cost Segregation is an engineering based analysis of a facilities cost to construct or the purchase price in order to identify the tangible personal property (IRC Section 1245) the indirect costs and the land improvements from the facilities "structural components" or real property (IRC Section 1250). The personal property may be subject to accelerated depreciation which results in IMMEDIATE CASH FLOW. A supportable Cost Segregation Study is a highly technical process and must be completed by specialized engineers. Precisely for this reason IMPACT provides the Team to meet all IRS, Treasury, and legal requirements. Contact IMPACT for a free consultation of Cost Segregation Assessments and the real potential for immediate cash benefits.
