Challenge
With electricity prices on the rise, forward-thinking organizations are turning to energy efficiency and sustainability solutions to control operational costs and meet corporate ESG goals. One such company—an innovative U.S. manufacturer—set out to implement a facility-wide sustainability strategy aimed at reducing energy usage, cutting maintenance expenses, and achieving zero-waste operations.
Approach and SolutionThe facility implemented a phased, site-wide sustainability strategy that began with the installation of high-efficiency LED lighting. This improved visibility and reduced energy use by over 420,000 kWh annually—saving more than $57,000 each year.
An upgrade to the HVAC system cut more than 570,000 kWh in annual energy use and saved $168,000, with a payback period of under 12 months.
A customized recycling program and waste-to-energy systems were also introduced. Together, these efforts delivered substantial cost reductions, energy savings, and meaningful progress toward zero-waste and sustainability goals.
