If you've got HPS or metal halide lights instead of energy efficient T5s or T8s in PopArt's space, you are really letting energy savings slip through your fingers. Don't know if local utilities have the generous rebate programs in the PNW as those in the Northeast and midwest but EPAct has very enticing rebates available from the feds. Electricity is still pretty cheap in the PNW so this hasn't been as big an issue historically as in the Northeast, but rates are creeping up all the time and there's always something to be said for reducing your carbon footprint! -iris Great post!
