Commercial Energy Efficiency Upgrades in Glendale

Yes. Most commercial lighting and control upgrades require an electrical permit through the City of Glendale Building and Safety Division. Simple one-for-one swaps may qualify for expedited review, but Title 24 forms and acceptance testing are typically required. We handle the submittal, plan check coordination, and inspections for you.

Design and permits in Glendale typically take 2–3 weeks. Installation runs 1–5 days depending on scope. We schedule off-hours or phased work to maintain safe egress and keep your space open. Most tenants experience minimal disruption, with noisy or high-traffic activities done at night.

LED and advanced controls commonly reduce lighting energy 50–70%. With scheduling, daylight harvesting, and demand management, many clients see 1–3 year paybacks. We tailor the design to your GWP rate structure to trim both kWh and demand charges, maximizing ROI.

GWP periodically offers commercial incentives for lighting and controls. Eligibility varies by fixture type, wattage reduction, and control strategy. We identify current programs, prepare documentation, and submit on your behalf to help reduce upfront costs and accelerate payback.

Yes. We preserve architectural character by specifying low-profile fixtures, warm CCT options, and concealed controls while meeting Title 24. If exterior lighting is affected, we coordinate with Glendale’s historic review as needed and provide mock-ups or photometrics to maintain the desired appearance.

Absolutely. During design we perform load calculations, assess panel capacity, and set up load management so you can add EV chargers later without costly rework. We also plan conduits and control backbones to integrate charging with building demand limits.
