“We support various non-profit efforts in Flagstaff and Phoenix.  Girls on the Run (GOTR) is one of these special organizations that exemplify core values that line up very well with SKY Engineering and SKY Renewable Energy,” said Director of Sales, Christine Kelly.

The objective of GOTR is to educate and empower girls at an early age in order to prevent the display of at-risk activities in the future of their lives.  GOTR is a 501(c)3 positive youth development program which combines an interactive curriculum and running to inspire self-respect and healthy lifestyles in pre-teen girls.

“SKY Engineering has been involved indirectly with GOTR since the inception of the Flagstaff location of GOTR in 2006. SKY has been involved directly as a sponsor for the last few years,” said Kelly.  “Angela, the daughter of SKY Engineering President Kay Young, was a co-founding director when the national organization initially set up a program in Flagstaff.”

Among the sponsors are New Balance, Goody, Garmin, Horizon Fitness, Carolina Pad and SKY Engineering, Inc. who is a Fall Season Sponsor and a Presenting Sponsor of the 5K Run and Healthy Living Expo.

SKY Renewable Energy offers home and business energy optimization  for residential and commercial properties. A  SKY Engineering representative will inspect your property for energy inefficiencies and share recommendations with you to make your space greener.

“Reduce before you produce,” said Kelly. “During that inspection, we will also evaluate your lighting.”

Advances in LED technology will now allow this type of lighting to burn brighter and last longer than CFL. According to the web article, Will LED Light Bulbs Best Your CFLs and Incandescent? (Popular Mechanics/August 2010), the author states that, “Improvements in managing the LED chip’s temperature have contributed to their marathon life span: LEDs can last up to 50,000 hours, more than eight times as long as CFLs.”

Rebates for renewable energy vary depending upon where you are located. For businesses in and near the light rail corridor, the city of Phoenix is offering rebates for LED lighting that can be added to existing energy rebates for which you may already be eligible for. This is part of the Energize Phoenix program recently launched by the city of Phoenix in partnership with Arizona State University and Arizona Public Service with $25 million federal grant money from the U.S. Department of Energy Better Buildings Neighborhood Program and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).

LED lighting isn’t just for your home and business. According to the City of Phoenix Public Works Department in an energy presentation made in April 2011, over 335 intersections of the city had LED traffic signal retrofits with a phase two beginning in 2012 to add over 500 more intersections that are retrofitted.

Contact SKY Renewable Energy today to learn how you can use LED lighting in your home or business. Representatives can also assist you with the energy rebate process and identify the types of rebates for which you qualify for. (602. 595.4178)
