Lighting control systems are used to maximize energy savings from the lighting system, adhere to building codes or participate in energy-saving and green building initiatives. Technology for lighting that is intended to be energy-efficient, convenient, and secure may be included in lighting control systems. 19% of the world’s energy consumption and 6% of all greenhouse gas emissions are attributed to lighting applications. The commercial and industrial sectors in the United States account for 65% of all energy consumption, with lighting using 22% of this total. According to research by Galasiu, A.D. and Newsham, G.R., automatic lighting systems with occupancy sensors and individual (personal) controls are appropriate for open-plan office settings and can save a significant amount of energy (about 32.0%) in comparison to a conventional lighting system.

Along with lighting there are new focuses on the horizon of energy saving and clean energy objectives, paving a need for EV Charging station integration and battery storage. California has committed to reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 95% in 2045, with a more aggressive target to reduce emissions by 55% in 2030. Transportation is a major contributor to carbon pollution, so electrification of vehicles is important.

ProCal creates cutting-edge designs that are unique to the needs of clients, save energy, and that have a high return on investment by combining lighting upgrades with sensor controls and solar. As frontrunners in the clean energy field, ProCal has expanded its capabilities to include EV charging, battery storage, and general electrical installations to further meet their client’s clean energy needs.

ProCal’s Roots

ProCal Lighting was founded by a passionate father and son duo, who wanted to build an electrical contracting firm that specialized in the design and installation of LED lighting in the San Diego area. Soon after its inception, ProCal Lighting expanded into additional cities, eventually serving the entire state of California. Today, ProCal Lighting has grown to meet market demands, and is reintroducing itself as ProCal, with two divisions: ProCal Electrical Contracting and ProCal Energy. Each division has its own project execution team and marketing strategy in order to effectively convey the breadth of the companies’ capabilities. ProCal Electrical Contracting concentrates their experience on LED lighting, systems integration, while ProCal Energy focuses on EV charging installations, and battery storage, to guarantee that excellence remains at the forefront of all they do.
