The Challenge
A logistics company operating a 200,000-square-foot warehouse was struggling with high electricity bills due to inefficient metal halide and fluorescent lighting. The company faced:
High energy costs due to inefficient lighting fixtures.
Frequent maintenance requirements leading to downtime.
Poor lighting quality affecting worker productivity and safety.
Our Solution
After a thorough assessment, we designed a custom energy-efficient lighting system tailored to the warehouse’s needs. Our approach included:
LED Retrofit – We replaced outdated metal halide and fluorescent fixtures with high-efficiency LED lighting, which uses significantly less energy and has a longer lifespan.
Motion Sensors & Smart Controls – We installed motion sensors in low-traffic areas, ensuring lights only turned on when needed, reducing unnecessary energy use.
Daylight Harvesting – By integrating smart controls, we optimized natural light usage, automatically adjusting artificial lighting based on daylight availability.
Zoning Strategy – We divided the warehouse into lighting zones, allowing specific areas to be lit based on occupancy and activity levels.
The Results
The implementation of these solutions led to impressive results:
60% Reduction in Energy Consumption – Lower electricity usage resulted in substantial cost savings.
Annual Savings of Over $50,000 – The company significantly reduced operational expenses.
Improved Lighting Quality – Enhanced visibility increased worker safety and efficiency.
Lower Maintenance Costs – LED lighting’s long lifespan eliminated frequent replacements and maintenance costs.
