IES is proud to be part of and support an industry that fosters green habits and advocates green lifestyle choices. Our own commitment to preserving our planet is strong and clearly defined - to be as environmentally responsible a company as possible providing energy-efficient, cost-effective solutions.  

Let IES reshape your relationship with your surroundings - how you think about and use energy, how you interact with your environment to protect and work in synergy with it - changing the way you live, work and play. With the systems we install, it’s easy to make eco-friendly decisions that conserve energy and have lasting, beneficial effects on the planet as well as your quality of life. We’ll show you how simple, little things like these that can be done everyday could minimize your impact on the planet while adding up to significant savings: 

Lighting – Reduce electricity and CO2 emissions.

• Replace switches with dimmers to use just the right amount of light for any task.
• Create specific lighting scenes to activate only the necessary lights in a particular room.
• Set conditions using sunrise/sunset to cue certain lights at different times of the day or night.

Climate – Save energy and money.

• Vary the temperature with different heating and cooling zones.
• Lower the degrees in rooms used less often, overnight or when nobody is home.
• Institute a cut-off when a comfortable temperature level is reached.

• Draw the shades to preserve coolness and eliminate sun glare in the summer.
• Let the sun warm and light rooms during the cold, winter months.
• Take advantage of daylight with sensors that adjust shades accordingly.

Video Conferencing – Lessen your carbon footprint.

• Invest in videoconferencing over air travel to improve productivity and efficiency.

We all have the potential to be instruments of change, and together we can make a concerted effort to go green for our own good as well as that of the globe. By offering innovative ideas that inspire, being conscious of what we can do to improve the daily operations of your home or office and constantly evolving how we do business, IES will ensure that we do our part so you can do yours too. 

From product selection through to our installation methods used, to how we conduct our business as a whole, we incorporate the ideals we practice and believe in - implementing green initiatives in our everyday environment, and when possible, translate those principles into the systems we design. Aligning ourselves with companies that share these same goals and standards, we remain selective in the products we currently choose to offer, vigilant in our research of emerging technologies and investigative of new products being introduced to provide our clients with the freshest, green options.
