You can achieve this by changing your lighting fixtures to energy-efficient rated fixtures. In this case, you should consider installing LED light bulbs.

Some companies are also eligible for sales tax exemption for using renewable sources of energy such as solar energy. This makes it more important for your business to go green. Tax credits can be taken for energy efficiency, reduced emissions and other green efforts.
