Graham, NC-based Acucote, Inc., continues to make strides towards offsetting adverse effects on the environment by reducing its ecological footprint. Over the past two months, Acucote's headquarters and manufacturing facility in Graham, NC, invested in lighting upgrades to use energy-efficient lamps and lighting controls throughout the administrative offices, manufacturing, shipping and exterior areas.
Acucote replaced all lighting fixtures with a combination of interior LED highbays, task and panel lights, and exterior wallpacks and flood lights. Occupancy sensors and dimmers were also installed to further increase energy efficiency. Combined, these upgrades lead to a 67% reduction in energy consumption for lighting in the 80,000-sq-ft facility.
The LED lighting upgrade results in a 469,328-kg decrease in greenhouse gases produced; which is the equivalent of 52,811 gals of gasoline consumed or 99 fewer cars on the road.
