Overview
Comprehensive energy audit and retrofit for a 100,000 sq ft manufacturing facility including LED lighting, HVAC optimization, and smart controls.
The Challenge
The facility was consuming over $400,000 annually in electricity with a 100,000 sq ft production floor using outdated metal halide lighting, oversized HVAC units, and no building automation. Production schedules varied significantly, but energy consumption remained constant.
Our Solution
We performed a Level III ASHRAE energy audit, identifying $180K in annual savings opportunities. The retrofit included 850+ LED fixtures with smart dimming, VFD-equipped HVAC optimization, IoT occupancy and temperature sensors across the production floor, and a centralised building management system (BMS) with automated scheduling.
