Jim Grady Wins NHBR 2008 Business Excellence Award for Business Services

James Grady saw the advantage of energy efficiency and solar power well before it was a plank in presidential candidate platforms.

Like so many great companies, LighTec began in Grady's basement some 17 years ago.  This industrial engineer devoted his time to designing the most efficient lighting systems possible.  But these would be worthless if companies couldn't afford them.  The systems he sought to creat had to be efficient--and cost effective.

Today, LighTec is New Hampshire's largest provider of high efficiency lighting systems, saving companies small and large, schools and other organizations tens of thousands of dolars and hundreds of thousands of kilowatts on their bill.

But more than cutting costs, LighTec has saved enough energy to remove 4,445 tons of CO2 from the air, light 4,984 homes, take 771 cars from the road and plant more than 1,250 acres of trees.

For seeing the light in lighting efficiency, we have named Jim Grady our winner for Business Services Excellence.
