Case Study: Install LED lighting fixtures to reduce energy costs, improve safety, and increase productivity.
THE CHALLENGE
- Saint-Gobain had previously evaluated upgrading the metal halide and fluorescent lights and had a fully scoped LED lighting retrofit proposal but could not get approval as it did not meet the internal capital budgeting payback threshold.
THE SOLUTION
- Saint-Gobain utilized Redaptive's Efficiency-as-a-Service program, which enables businesses to avoid spending upfront capital on energy efficiency retrofits and instead, pay for the projects with the savings generated by the upgraded equipment.
- Through Redaptive's program, all the equipment, design, procurement, installation, and utility incentive administration was managed turnkey without requiring time or resources from the Saint-Gobain team. At the request of site management, dust-tight, heat resistant, and wash-down rated fixtures were specified and priced effectively.
THE IMPACT
- The Redaptive program resulted in significant lighting cost savings, dramatically increased lighting levels, improved working conditions, and the elimination of burnouts in a number of locations.
