Survey & Design
Your commercial energy audit by a Maneri-Agraz lighting professional begins with a detailed analysis with a complete survey of the existing lighting system. During this process we catalog the following information on a room by room basis directly into our database system via a tablet PC:
- Room Name
- Fixture Type
- Fixture Quantity
- Lamp Type
- Ballast Type
- System Wattage
- Voltage
- Hours of Operation
- Conditioned/Unconditioned Space
All surveys are performed by an certified lighting professional (LC), certified by the NCQLP (National Council on Qualifications for the Lighting Profession). This is the most qualified certification credential currently available for the lighting profession.
An LC professional will design the most cost effective lighting solution for each facility, incorporating all of the client’s goals and objectives, while maximizing energy savings and delivering the requested amount of light throughout the facility.
Financial Incentive Discovery
Maneri~Agraz will investigate the availability of all financial incentives offered by local, state, and federal entities to offset project costs. A Maneri-Agraz light consultant will submit all the required forms and documentation on behalf of the customer to receive these incentives. Please refer to our “Financial Incentives Page” for details.

- Annual Energy Savings

As-Built Analysis
At the conclusion of a project, our team of lighting professionals will take all of the as-built data from the project management team and prepare an as-built document for every client that will recalculate all of the savings calculations based on any changes that occurred during the lighting installation phase. This comprehensive document will include a detailed, room by room final installed scope of work, all data sheets on materials installed, warranties and the warranty process, recycling certificates, completion certificate, copy of original proposal, and all required documents relating to the EPACT certification process.
