GreenRight Certified


GreenRight Certified is a certification program rewarding commercial and industrial green buildings that meet a defined set of energy efficiency standards relating to lighting equipment, lighting systems, lighting power density, and associated building code compliance.
Developed by CandleRay, the GreenRight Certification is intended to provide business and facility owners with a simple framework for implementing energy conservation through highly efficient, innovative, and more practical lighting systems. This platform is intended to ultimately streamline the adoption of more energy efficient technology, while also helping businesses improve cash flow over time.
A before and after audit process determines the lighting power density and the decrease in total facility electric load as it applies to the lighting system. The audit provides various improvements designed to qualify the facility for GreenRight Certification.
